M. Bates Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 At the moment I can't really get the most out of the Rugged Defense site, because any time that I fill in a form, I get an error of some kind. Does anyone else get this when registering or looking for opponents? Maybe the forms should be fixed. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 There were some problems with our local cable server today. Just try it again it must have been repaired now. Everything should be working normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 20, 2000 Author Share Posted September 20, 2000 Stoffel, I just tried the advertise for games feature, but it didn't work, maybe a different form script would help. I'll try again now. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 23, 2000 Author Share Posted September 23, 2000 Just tried to report a new game starting on the RD ladder, and it did not work. Guys, get a decent cgi form script for heaven's sake!!! http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/ Try this link, because I can't believe that anyone is able to use the current forms up at Rugged Defense. ------------------ "War is like the cinema.

Tiny Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 I've never had aproblem with posting on RD Ladder. Tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 23, 2000 Author Share Posted September 23, 2000 Well, the only forms I have problems with are the RD ones. They even have a message saying "If you have problems using this form, pleas email us the information" All I am saying is, why can't someone there spend an hour or so getting a simple cgi form script working.

Tanaka Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 I've never had a problem with game report in RD Ladder too... Who else,beside Bates, had problems ? By the way, in CMHQ ladder I never managed to report any of my 4 games... João Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 23, 2000 Author Share Posted September 23, 2000 Look, if their forms are so watertight, then why would they print this: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>If your browser has problems with this form, please send me data by email. Cyberfox <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> So there is clearly a problem, which can easily be fixed by downloading one of the hundreds of cgi form scripts available on the web. ------------------ "War is like the cinema.

Tanaka Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 ... well did you e-mail cyberfox ?...If you did or didn´t, why are you posting it here ? "there is clearly a problem..." So far you are the only one to see it... João Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 23, 2000 Author Share Posted September 23, 2000 Tanaka read the whole thread, by all of the contributors, before posting again.

Richlop Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 Hey M.Bates, knock it off. That type of response only ignites flame wars, which you've no doubt been around long enough to see are an absolutely useless way of communicating. Tanaka asked if you emailed him. Did you? What did he say? You responded by telling him to read the whole post. I reread it, and it doesn't say anywhere that you emailed him. So why the sharp reply? Perhaps you could tell us the specific nature of your problem. When it isn't working, what is it doing. Do you get another message other than "Please email me?" If so, what is it. I have not had any problems with the RD forms, so I am curious what it is you are experiencing. What browser are you using? A friend of mine had problems reporting while using Netscape, but no problems using Explorer (I don't know why).

Tanaka Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 hmmm... you told me to read the whole post. I reread it, and I don´t see nathing new ... only your blindnes ! "Perhaps you could tell us the specific nature of your problem."... please don´t, go to shrink in order to do it. Ok,don´t get over excited, I will ignor your postes for now on and I strongly advice the others to do the same. Thanks, João [This message has been edited by Tanaka (edited 09-23-2000).] [This message has been edited by Tanaka (edited 09-23-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 23, 2000 Author Share Posted September 23, 2000 The form up there at RD at the moment sends the information by email, so for people who use Yahoo or Hotmail etc., it probably isn't much use. ------------------ "War is like the cinema.

Richlop Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 Oh yeah, I forgot that my friend was also using yahoo mail, so I think you're right. He recently got a new address through his ISP and now everything works ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He recently got a new address through his ISP and now everything works ok.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, so if Rugged Defense could get normal form scripts then everyone can use the service properly. It would seem to be defeating the purpose of an otherwise entirely web-based playing service, that some players have to manually submit these details. Indeed, those that rely on web-based email will have to copy Cyberfox's email link, then enter their web-based account, paste the address, then flick between pages to work out which categories they should cover in the email... If necessary, I am willing to host a form on some webspace which automates this process. ------------------ "War is like the cinema.

Naja Posted September 24, 2000 Share Posted September 24, 2000 Thanks, M.Bates. I have A Yahoo! account, and tried to set up my first PBEM account not 3 minutes before reading your post and thought what the hell is this? Please note that all I do for 8 hours a day is test games, websites, browsers - only to tell these turkey programmers in "Bugzilla": "Your sight needs to be fixed after only 5 minutes of testing." Also note that CM would be wasting its money having our lab testing its game: almost perfect. 1. Sign on to "bla bla bla.com" 2. Click on [new member] 3. Fill out information fields 4. Note the following error message "bla bla" (I talk to the programmers like they're five-year-olds so as not to offend them. Otherwise they won't fix the problem.)
