Linguica Posted January 19, 2016 I changed the quote code slightly so instead of breaking on brackets in a username it breaks on a quotation mark in a username. Looks like no one has a quotation mark in their name and I'm not sure if the software would even allow it, so w/e. 0 Share this post Link to post

Voros Posted January 21, 2016 One small request: May I get my post count back, please? Oh, the post count doesn't appear on the left side, above the posting date. I don't know if that's from my browser on my phone, or a bug. 0 Share this post Link to post

plums Posted January 28, 2016 So I've been interested in getting back into Doom, except a lot of the time over the past few days I've been trying to access doomworld.com/idgames I get a 404 error, including right now. I don't know if this is known maintenance or something else, but rather than take it as a sign that I shouldn't be playing Doom again, I thought I'd post about it here. 0 Share this post Link to post

plums Posted January 28, 2016 scifista42 said:Also welcome back! Thanks! That link gives me a 404 error. It works for you right now? Maybe it's my computer/ISP/something, though I didn't think so because sometimes it works fine. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted January 28, 2016 Yes, it works for me right now. No idea what your issue would be, sorry. 0 Share this post Link to post
plums Posted January 28, 2016 OK, thanks. How peculiar. I'll have to poke around at things later. 0 Share this post Link to post
HavoX Posted January 28, 2016 In the meantime, use this alternative link. It does lack the search function and other features from Doomworld's /idgames database, however. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted January 28, 2016 Oh, while you were away, Doomworld moved to a new server during summer 2015 (as AtomicGamer went down), so the IP changed. Update / refresh / do something with your DNS, probably? This seems weird anyway, since you're already here on the forum - but not impossible to be the source of your problem. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted January 29, 2016 If flushing the browser and DNS caches doesn't fix things, try switching to OpenDNS or Google DNS to bypass your ISP's DNS server, which might be malfunctioning. 0 Share this post Link to post

Switched my PC to use OpenDNS, still same problem. I'll try with the modem itself later, just in case, but I'm not optimistic. I've got a dynamic IP address, I wonder if I'm partly IP-banned or something? (Hi Doomkid and everyone) edit: lol I think updating Firefox fixed everything. OK. 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted January 29, 2016 plums said:I've got a dynamic IP address, I wonder if I'm partly IP-banned or something? Reminds me of when I was caught in an IP range ban on the Skulltag forums, due to someone else in my dynamic IP pool misbehaving there. Fortunately, I think the admins here prefer to avoid using range bans to block individual troublemakers, though it shouldn't hurt to ask. And, welcome back. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jewellds Posted February 1, 2016 plums said:lol I think updating Firefox fixed everything. OK. I was having the exact same problem as plums. Firefox was 404-ing when trying to access /idgames, but other browsers were working. Must've been a bug with Firefox as updating from version 43.0.3 to 44 fixed it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted February 6, 2016 I dunno if it's been mentioned or if it's that big a deal, but it seems to be impossible to view profiles where the name begins with the following characters: + # < / When attempting to view their profiles, it brings up a "This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view" error. Just figured that was worth pointing out! 0 Share this post Link to post
rhinoduck Posted February 16, 2016 I'm not sure this is the place to report this, but I hope it will get forwarded in case it isn't. There is something wrong with the Alien Vendetta zip file on the German idgames mirror, this is all I get after clicking the download link. 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted February 16, 2016 Judging by the screenshot, it looks a bit like your browser's attempting to open the zip instead of downloading it. 0 Share this post Link to post

I tried it in other browsers now, and the result was a download dialog. It is strange though that in the problematic browser, it only happens with the German mirror, other mirrors are fine. Anyway, that's not something for you to investigate, so.. sorry for the false positive. 0 Share this post Link to post
