DRAT!!!!

*wants to draw a ladybug*

maybe a bug did get into the drawing board and that is the source of the problem!

Probably no help at all. But trying to be usefull i looked on the internet for some answers.

The best i could find was to ensure the board is updated to 2.0.21.

But not knowing anything computer related i don't know what type of phpbb this forum is, supposedly there is phpbb3, phpbb2 etc.

So yeah. Basically what we have found out is i have been of no use

well, you saved me from some searching.

i've asked on the phpbb board. i think i may have to upgrade to 21. bleah. i really don't want the hassle, especially because i feel a headache coming on. i'm going to go see how much of an annoyance that would be.

the file i'm talking about is the only file i've changed in ages, so it has to be the culprit.

I would personally say leave it until you feel better. It's not exactly a major issue. Look after yourself, as i am sure people can get by with just using colour to quote or just quote minus the name for a while.

Random fact: the reason we call a bug a bug (in the sense of here's a bug in my program) is because some of the first ever computer programs crashed because real live bugs crawled into the computers and fried themselves on the circuits.

the actual bug is in the smithsonian. it was found by admiral grace hopper, who rocks for being a female admiral in the 40s, and for being the first person to write a program for what was essentially the first computer.

So -THATS- why this bit is called Admin(i)s-trivia!
Admins sharing little bits of fun random information!

Post by **Jomomma** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:58 am

I can do random but I can't guarantee it would be fun

* hesitantly…hopefully… *

It looks like the battle with the bug…

…has finally been won, yeah…? (since it seems to have worked only intermittently, earlier…)

Post by **Poppies** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 8:54 am

Looks like it's the 'bug' who's winning at the moment.....

pinky · Post by **pinky** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 2:33 pm

lol, i think the bug is winning too...

Post by **swirlish** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 8:32 pm

Ooh, thank you for sharing the nifty little info about why it's called a bug! Now I can finally outshine my brother at something!

Oh and yes, deb, don't stress. We won't die cause the quote thingie's not working. People are being very inventive getting around it

Space_Man · Post by **Space_Man** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 8:41 pm

I'm getting it to work, but its finally occurred to me...it is only working in PMs...

Anyone else notice this...?

I also noticed that the quotation marks ('') don't work. If I want to put quotation marks around something, I have to type in two of the single quotation marks (') to get the full quotation mark effect. Weird!
(Note: The {''} above and here is two single quotation marks)

But, yes Deb... Rest up, feel better, THEN tackle the probs.
