Fixed, along with several other little bugs/oddities I discovered while fiddling with this. In other news, where did my evening go help

Ohhhh, because you said "forum index" I was looking at the "Last post" links on the main forum index listing the three forums, not the thread listings for the forums themselves. Gotcha, successfully replicated, will fix. Thanks!

Everytime you do one of these minor picker updates, you should call them minor nitPICKS.

Sure, here's a couple examples.

Looking at the "The Quest for the Legends" board index (https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/1/), the top thread is "Ask the Characters" (https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/thread/44/). The "Last Page" link in the index is https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/thread/44/page/49/ (does not work)

Within the thread, the "Last Page" link is https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/thread/44/page/47/ (works)

Or, from the same forum, the "Ask the Author" thread has a "Last Page" link of https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/thread/45/page/45/ from the index, which does not work, and from the thread view the link is https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/thread/45/page/44/, which works.

Here's one where the link works from the index:

In "Your Own Fanfiction" (https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/2), the thread "COMPLETELY POINTLESS!But pleasant at that." has a "Last Page" link https://tqftl.dragonflycave.com/forums/thread/152/page/6/, which matches the link given in the thread view, and which works.

tbh it sounds like the same "deleted posts" bug you mentioned resurfacing to me.

Pumped Aaron: Sure, I can look into that.

Negrek: Hmm, I can't seem to replicate this. The bug you describe did happen on the old ASP.NET forum, where the appropriate page was calculated by counting all the posts in the thread before this one, but for non-admins the posts actually displayed on the page were a slice of the set of non-deleted posts in the thread - deleted posts made it out of sync for regular members, which resulted in shifts of multiple pages for the longest threads, but I didn't notice it for the longest time because it worked fine for me (since I can see deleted posts). But since I did eventually notice the bug, I took care to account for it in the Python version of the forum, and even now when I try clicking the last post links on the index using a non-admin test account, they all work as intended and bring me to the correct page, which is different from the correct page when I'm an admin.

Is there any more info you can give me to replicate - the exact links that you're getting that don't work, say? I'm at a loss as to why you'd be getting different links from me, but I can't think of much else that could lead to different results here.

It looks like the "Last Page" link in the qftl forum is broken on the forum index (appears to go to the wrong page). Clicking from a forum index gives a "Page not found" error, but using the link from within the thread itself takes you to the correct page.

(The spam pokémon is a stunfisk! How appropriate.)

Concerning the Favorite Pokemon tool, have you considered moving the "Pick" button a little further away from the other two buttons? You can imagine my frustration when I ended up selecting pass for several rounds before I realized what I had done.

lol, no problem. Thanks for indulging all my silly fanfic shenanigans and art requests. You made my year a lot brighter, too. Hope you have a great 2017!

Kimsites.net has closed down now, and it's in the affliates, so you may want to take it down from there.

Hopefully sometime, but I really can't make any promises about when that would be. I'm not actively working on it at the moment.

Sorry for double posting, but are you ever going to finish the writimg guide?

[01/01/2017 21:17:27]

Shine: Whoops, got that fixed. My manual indexes are showing.

Lucky: If you want to ask something here, you can; otherwise, you can e-mail me or something like that.

Where can I ask about Morphic?

Hello! Just wanted to say I really love this site! Found it through the "what type are you quiz" (I'm dragon!) and it's a great Pokemon fansite.

1: Happy Holidays! (to everyone and Butterfree and TCoD)
2: Is it just me or is this page:
https://www.dragonflycave.com/the-games
rather out of date? Because it doesn't match the menu, and the regions only stop at Sinnoh. I don't know if that's done on purpose, but it's a little annoying on mobile.
