+StaticTank Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) I am trying add some www.geocheck.org links to some of my puzzle caches and once I make the changes the HTML code will change into something odd and it will start to look strange and the links won't work any more. I removed them form my caches so I don't have an example but does anyone else have this problem. It is cutting off the first < and changing the > into &al; or something similar.

+IBcrashen Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 just added one to one of my cache pages and it worked fine. Link to comment
+StaticTank Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 That is the thing that is odd. I have it working on one cache "Bar Keeper" - GC1KDPW but it won't work on "Flag Corp" - GC1KJ8M. It is quite confusing! StaticTank Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Sometimes, there's just a glitch in the matrix. Link to comment
+StaticTank Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Everything seems to be working again now Oh well... No, it still does not work. I removed the problem from my cache page so you won't see anything wrong if you look at the ones I was describing. For whatever reason it strips off html codes and leaves the link as a line of text instead of a link. StaticTank Link to comment
+Spatial Distortion Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Yea, I'm having the same problem. I just tested it out and A Href to outside sits are being stripped. However, IMG SRC to outside web sides are working. I am assuming it is a glitch from the upgrade Link to comment

StaticTank I have been trying for a couple hours now only to realize they completely borked the limited html support they had. A basic link is not working.

Forums are borked too and generated a PHP SQL error the first time. Edited February 16, 2009 by CC Link to comment
+StaticTank Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have been able to add the geochecker code to several of my caches, however it is still happening to some of the caches. It would be nice to get this fixed! StaticTank Link to comment
+CC Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 It seems to be less borked today. Looks like someone has tried to fix it so kudos to whoever for their efforts. Link to comment
+ShowStop Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The <a href> tags being stripped happens from time to time. Its an issue with a server process that goes wacky every once in a while. Everything seems to be working fine right now. Link to comment
+hallycat Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I published a cache yesterday with links and when I looked at it this morning they were gone. What I did after I fixed it was to save it on my own computer in case it goes wonky again. Link to comment
+StaticTank Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks like it is still wacky. Can't get any new links to work. Link to comment
+LiefPhotos Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks like it is still wacky. Can't get any new links to work. As of this writing (1406 PST), the links are working again. Let's hope that they keep working! Link to comment
Fledermaus Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) As of 17 Feb. @ 2200 PST, the <a href=...> and </a> are still being stripped out of my hyperlinks, except for what is between the quotations and the final > is being replaced with it's code > . To some of you this might be only a minor inconvenience, but when you have as many caches as I do, this is a big headache! Until the problem is fixed, I will leave things just as they are and to the embarassment of GS's new system. However, my greatest concern is that maybe they want to remove all external hyperlink functions from within cache pages and leaving only image linking. That would not surprize me. UPDATE: 2230 PST: I just checked one of my caches, the same one I checked before, and noticed that the cache is now displaying properly. Are there ghostly code-bugs running around GS's system or what? There is another problem that I have noticed. The following lines do not display on my cache page as they do using my CSE HTML Validator v7.0 program: <fieldset style="border-color: #FFFFFF;"> <legend style="filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=white,direction=145);"> <font face="UNICORN, COMIC SANS MS, ARIAL, TIMES" size="6" color="#FF0000"><b> ABOUT THIS CACHE: </b></font> </legend> The "ABOUT..." is the correct red color, but it's placed onto only a white background(suppose to be a drop-shadow) for only the space the words occupy. Any code freeks out there want to venture a guess? Edited February 18, 2009 by Fledermaus Link to comment
+OienLabs Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yup, Grounspeak has a serious bug to hanlde just now. See GC1MTEE for an exsample of the messup right now. Also check the print friendly version. Also messed up. No long description. IE7. Older pages seems Ok though. Ps. The printfriendly seemed to be fixed as i wrote this post, but the A HREF is still not working. Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yup, Grounspeak has a serious bug to hanlde just now. See GC1MTEE for an exsample of the messup right now. You're right. It's like it's in some foreign language, or something. Other than that, everything looks fine. Link to comment
+OienLabs Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) You're right. It's like it's in some foreign language, or something. Other than that, everything looks fine. No, it's not a foreign language. For me it isn't. The A HREF tag var stripped for a few hours, but is fine now. My thought was to give an example on what was not functioning. Then there is a chance they can fix it. Not easy to fix something that you don't know is broken. Edited February 19, 2009 by baø Link to comment
