Column for Ads by Google is too narrow

In the column of "Ads by Google", the width is sometimes not enough for the URL to fit, with the result that the URL appears to be truncated. This happens with both the old skin and the new one. --Eohippus 08:31, 5 September 2007 (PDT)

We probably need more space for other things on the page, so we don't know whether this needs some fixing or not. Umar Sheikh

Editing in Opera

Editing pages using Opera has, as of last Thursday or Friday, given the following problems:

• Show Preview doesn't work
• Clicking on Save Page doesn't seem to do anything, and one doesn't leave the edit box but refreshing the page shows that it has been updated.

- FatimaRaja 14:44, 1 October 2007 (PDT)

I have to agree with this. Several of the functions do not work either. I find it strange since Opera is the only webbrowser to meet every web standard. (Hell they even wrote some of them.)) --Nick 22:46, 16 November 2007 (PST)

We tried both the preview and the Save Page in Opera. Both worked fine. Does this problem still persist? We ran into the same problem with a previous version of code at opt/git/aboutus, but when we updated it, the problem was resolved. So this looks like resolved too. Umar Sheikh

AddThis social bookmarking -- Facebook posts lose page thumbnail images

I was excited to see the AddThis widget, could think of a bunch of uses for posting AboutUs pages to Facebook. But there's a problem -- if you use the domain tools thumbnail as the image for the Facebook posted item, it turns into a tiny thumbnail of a domain tools error message. Here's the sequence: [1] [2] [3]

I've tried it with a few AboutUs pages, getting the same result. --Brian Kerr

Hmm, it seems to be working fine for me. Can you still reproduce this? -Stephen Judkins 12:30, 31 October 2007 (PDT)

The problem probably occured because domain tools was down when the user tried it. It seems working fine now. Umar Sheikh

CaseSpace: Keith's user image

Site dies with the casespace DB error when Keith tries to upload his user portrait

AdultContentPolicy splash page

Because ACP doesn't pass along arguments, if the splash page is tabbed out for patrolling before you have visited the splash screen the ones you have opened already are worthless.

Subdomains

I noticed that the link at the top of an article to the website itself does not handle subdomains correctly. For example, instead of going to http://midnr.startspot.nl/ the link goes to http://www.midnr.startspot.nl/. Some servers seem to "detect" the www and then redirect to the domain instead of the subdomain. midnr.startspot.nl is an actual example of this.

I think this has been addressed in most cases. Unfortunately, it's not going to work 100% of the time given the data we have. -Stephen Judkins 13:10, 24 October 2007 (PDT)

AdultSplash shouldn't include the leading /

The pagename includes the leading slash when you hit the AdultSplash page. Perhaps AdultSplash should use the title::getPrefixedText function rather than the title::getLocalUrl or whatever it is using?

recaptcha problem (moved from ConcernsPage)

I would be logged in if I could "join". Unfortunately, the required image in the box was not visible. If you have system requirements, it would save frustration if such requirements were stated. --- I tried using both Firefox and Safari, by the images did not show up in either browser. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.235.26.191 (talk • contribs) .

Firefox/2.0.0.8 on the Mac doesn't seem to work with AboutUs

http://www.aboutus.org and almost every other AboutUs page displays only a null page from Firefox/2.0.0.8 or Firefox/2.0.0.9 on my Macintosh G5 running OS X Version 10.4.10

Settings: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

http://www.aboutus.org/cbc.ca redirects correctly to http://www.aboutus.org/CBC.ca , but that is another null page.

http://www.aboutus.org/robots.txt displays correctly, though.

-Iapetus 11:46, 2 November 2007 (PDT)

Until yesterday, I was also using 2.0.0.8 and OS X 10.4.10. Everything seemed fine. Ugh. Today I'm using 2.0.0.9 and 10.5.0 and all also seems well. Iapetus, any other sites giving problems? I wonder how we track this down. TedErnst | talk 20:21, 2 November 2007 (PDT)

The thumbnail and "Go directly to site" link puts a "www" infront of this URL which does not work.

Bot isn't creating domain pages

mogenius.co.nr topmoney.co.cc mopages.co.nr mopages.co.cc

The bot still won't create Math.cz Nysun.com StoraEnso.com Regionalsuche.at --Eohippus 11:23, 16 November 2007 (PST)

TemplateError

Template:Color works fine on links you haven't visited. On links you have visited it leaves them as text or turn them back to the defualt "purple" color.

--Nick 20:58, 17 November 2007 (PST)

Nick, this is not an error of AboutUs, but an error of the template design. Please speak with Vartan about fixing it up. TedErnst | talk 08:37, 18 November 2007 (PST)

Bot Error

The bot generated page for ExtraRealtyPR.com links to http://www.cinematographer.ir/ through its thumbnail, and I can't find any relation between the two domains: http://www.aboutus.org/index.php?title=ExtraRealtyPR.com&oldid=3688699. Obed Suhail 06:07, 19 November 2007 (PST)

• Obed, I figured out that this was due to the person moving pages - not a fault of the bot. ~~ MarkDilley

The peer review tool, UberPatrol has been down for a while. ~~ MarkDilley

Bad scraping on Anglo-Indians.com

I asked AboutUsBot to add Anglo-Indians.com, and it scraped the dmoz description for an unrelated site, Cd-Finder.com. Anglo-Indians.com doesn't seem to be listed in the main part of DMOZ, although it appears at http://editors.dmoz.org/Bookmarks/Z/zahra/Ethnic_Studies/ Could the developer team please take a look? --Eohippus 20:06, 19 November 2007 (PST)

Some of the newly-created pages in the dev version do not show up first time

Ghufran and Umar were partnering on this one when this happened. A new page for a domain was created. When we typed in the aboutus url for the page, the page showed empty. When we clicked on the edit button, we saw that it had all the stuff the pagecreationbot actually wrote for that page. We pressed the Save button, and then we saw the page correctly. I would imagine that this error is reproducible as well, but don't know for sure. Umar Sheikh
