Well HELLO, Typhloise.



:DD



I'm positive. I've had an oddly amazingly great week. It's odd cause usually i have FUCKINGHORRIBLESTUPIDFUCKINGGRRTHISSUCKS bad weeks.

Typhloise

Hello, Typhloise.



Well, hello there! How are you doing?



Oh, just fine. Thanks for asking.









Why can't we all be more positive? Like, discussing the fact that HG/SS is coming out in mid-March, specifically… *checks Serebii*… March 14th, 2010.

That doesn't show me types you created (those are stored in a cookie on your computer), but if you made a Light type, are you sure you didn't just make Dark and/or Ghost weak to it? :/ I mean, I'm looking at that very page with no custom types and I see Ghost/Dark.

(Yes, I know I'm really original by making a Light type. =|)

Exactly what did you put into the form? Did you press the right "Find" button? Could you copy and paste the URL of the page you got?

I tried twice more and still got the same result.

…how did you manage to make that happen? It lists Ghost/Dark for me. Are you sure you didn't accidentally select the wrong option or something?

Sorry to bother you, but I looked up all type combinations with no weaknesses and got zero results. Doesn't Dark/Ghost have no weaknesses?

Mehw

cause YOU never post anymore, Bob. >:U and hey, where's my 'Welcome Back!' >__>

Bob

I love how the guestbook as of late has devolved into people reporting errors and Butterfree running around fixing them.

Mehw

It doesn't particularly bother me, but I just noticed that it's alot more cut off in Google Chrome than it is in Internet Explorer 8 or whatever I have. :l What exact font did you intend for it?

Butterfree
Admin

Only if you don't have the right font and it goes for a replacement font that doesn't quite fit.



Then again, that seems to happen for an irritating lot of people, so I should probably make it bigger.

Mehw

Butterfree, did you know the 'Enter' button on the splash page is cut off at the 'r' ?









Ho-oh Spammy :D sweet!

There was sort of going to be, but it never turned out right and I pretty much gave up on it.

Dammit, i wish that there would be a 3rd sequel to Chains and Shackles.

Maybe when one accesses it, the one that writes it can't access it so it writes it somewhere undefined therefore resetting it? :l

The counter is a file. There is a function that reads the number in this file to display it on the page, and a function that reads the number in the file, increments it by one and puts it back in the file. What you see on the page is just the contents of that file. Basically something keeps going wrong in the function that writes to the file, most likely when two processes on the server try to access the file at the same time or something of the like, and it writes 0 or an empty string into it instead of the number of hits.



Funnily enough, as it is right now it is supposed to be taking special measures to prevent anything funny happening when two processes try to access it at the same time, but there must be something wrong with the handling of it. Or at least that's my best guess at what's going on.

Mehw

Hey, Butterfree, so the file writes the number to the counter each time it goes up?
