Anyways, I freed up some space, so everythings ok. and the comments are ok for now.


That is wonderful news!

Also thanks for working on the site, it is appreciated!

Stay well!

Thanks - Joe

Hey, Eckels! Great that you're back!! 😊

Ooh... perhaps you didn't need to delete the unregistered comments... Now most of the ones for my quest are gone. :shrug: Meh, but that really is no big deal at all. Whatever you need to do to fix the site will work for me. 😉

I think the comments are messed up again. I tried posting one and it didn't work, though I was logged in.

Anyway, I hope the site gets fixed soon. I (and I'm sure we) really appreciate your work.

The most recently uploaded quest aren't showing in the "Most Recent Additions"
HOD from shoelace is put in by tygore on 06-16-2006

Eckels great that you do this 😊

Elise is correct. There are 7 quests that are not showing as recent additions, besides the test quests. I believe the reason is because they have no added date attached to them.

The quests are:
Crossrealm Chaos
First Quest Redux
Legend of Zelda Again
The Legend of Zelda the New Hero
Wind Waker Remake
Hero of Dreams
Spikes of Doom

Unless the uploader has to put the date on them, they have no addition date.

And thanks for looking into this issue Eckels. I'm glad you've come to notice it. :thumbsup:

Off topic: That is a great looking kid you got there. My youngest is 18 months old. His name is Tyler. Aren't they great!

Yes, that is the reason that they do not appear. However, it is unknown why a date doesn't attach to the quest. I remember pointing this out to Tygore awhile ago...

fixed the problem with postdates. somehow the code that sent the postdate got deleted... couldn't guess why. I also deleted about ten quests that were in the DB without download links... probably were all used as test entries.

I'll work on the screenshots later tonight.

Great to hear it! It's been too long that the DB hasn't worked and I think for everyone here, Thank you for taking the time to fix it. You truely are The Man.

Yes, thank you. I'm excited that the QDB will finally be restored.

Probably the work of a hacker. Those lumps of scum. :badrazz:

Hey, my game Hero of Dreams isn't in the database anymore. Was that one of the ten quests that you deleted? If so, then do you want me to reupload the quest into the database? Just so I know. Thanks.

Eckels, now that you've disabled the comments, they can't be viewed obviously.
But the links for posting comments and view comments are still there. Are you intending to re-enable them after you've fixed everything. Just curious.

yes please do, that would be helpful. I still have to work on the screenshot code but for now it'll be good to have some real quests to test with.

Until you popped up, I had no idea anyone was going to be able to fix it. My idea was to use a much simpler database that, although somewhat lacking in pizazz, would be easier for pretty much anyone to fix if something went wrong. My reasoning was that if nobody knew how to fix it, then it would be better to make something inferior yet functional as opposed to better yet broken.

I don't think there is much need to rewrite the database now.😊
Look how they have already fixed that problem.I think its a matter of
time now,before its up and running again!😃

Were you talking to me?
Like I said,"its a matter of time".

Yah!
I didn't even know Eckels was the creator!
I thought he was the managor.:googly:
Oh wait...Isn't Tygore the managor?
I just confused myself!:scared:

Tygore uploads the quests (you could say he manages it, technically)
Eckels owns, runs, and administers it. (He's the DB God) He's the one you thank for having the DB.

Also, Eckels, the comments are working correctly now. I just added one to swansong and it came up with my name and comment and date of comment. Just a little feedback.
Especially if anyone is curious about the ongoing fix of the DB.

I would help try to fix the DB but I dought I have the skills!:shrug:
Oh well!
I can test the DB though!
Do they need people to test it? I dont know if I can,but I can try!

The comments are up, good. The screenshots are next, excellent. :thumbsup:

Also, I remember that recently-uploaded quests, like TWW Remake and HoD, could not be downloaded. However, those have been deleted, right? I was wondering if the download conflict (if it one or not) has been resolved.

If you read earlier, he said there were at least 10 quests that didn't have a download link with them. And he deleted them. That could possibly have been the reason why they didn't work.
And since they will be re-uploaded the links will attach themselves to them. Unless there is an issue there as well.

Ah, no download link. That would be the problem; you can't download without the link!

But it was strange; when you clicked on the download link, a page would appear and wouldn't load... I don't know, it was weird. As long as it's getting fixed, it doesn't matter. 😊

Ok screenshots are fixed. - if there's any other bugs that people know about, nows the time to let me know.

To get the backlog of missing screenshots filled up, I need up to six screenshots from each of the following quests:

Link's Retirement 3 by rocksfan13
Legend of Zelda Again by Zephyr Light
First Quest Redux by Captain Magenta
Crossrealm Chaos by Questions
Spikes of Doom by Darkness 3567
The Monster Arena by XdragonSB

Cepat just try to upload your new Tao DC and if anything doesn't work , Eckels would be glad to hear that so it can be fixed 😊
