| Posted: | | | | More like a limitation in the forum software. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free. - Citizen G'Kar |

| Posted: | | | | I thought Ken built the forum software himself. If so, it's clearly a bug. But it's been a while and I may have my facts wrong. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here. Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection. |

| Posted: | | | | I was going to post this the other day.
Was doing a couple of links in my contribution notes, and kept withdrawing them 'cause I thought I was somehow adding the links incorrectly. Turns out you just need to hit enter between the links or they show up the way you posted.
Not earth shattering, but definitely a pain in the butt if you don't know about it. | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |

| Posted: | | | | It's obviously a too generous regular expression
*going into programmer's mode*
For example, if I define a regex that allows any sign between [a] and it will take everything between the first opening a and the last closing a, totally ignoring that there might be more than one on the line. The regex is literally getting greedy. You have to use the "?" operator to tell it not to get greedy.
simple sample to allow for more than one URL on the line:
\[a href="(http|https|ftp)://.+?"\].+?\[/a\]
(there are well defined URL regexes available on the net, it's just an example) | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

| Posted: | | | | Ken told me awhile back that it's a bad regex and that he knows what he needs to do to fix it and it's on his TO DO list, just haven't reached it yet. It also fails with multiple pics on a line. | | | Last edited: by Dr. Killpatient |
