Minor Change

[TehBorken]

At the urging of one our esteemed members, I've changed the way the anti-bot code works. The member, who shall remain nameless, wrote me and said:

 "Every once in a while I will enter a post (usually a long one, naturally) and then mistype the verification word. When I hit the back button my post has dissapeared and my mood has shifted from serene benevolence to verging on the psychotic."
 
I understand, and it made me awfully cranky too. It worked this way because I couldn't find the &^$@! code to return folks to the Preview screen in the case of a mis-typed anti-bot code. I've fixed this now so that if this happens you don't lose your post, instead you get gracefully returned to the post/preview screen with a [span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;"]glaring message[/span] at the top, and your message is still there. If you have any problems with the way this works (or if it doesn't work for you) please let me know.

LOL. Forgive me. This is just too rich and funny.

[P.C.]

Yeayyyyyyyyy!!!!!  I found that quite annoying myself.

  Hmmmm....who do we know that writes long messages.......hahahahahaaa

I wholeheartedly like this change.. but alas it t'was not me if thats whom you are thinking of... I got into the habit 'cause of the retarded net connection where I was, to copy whatever I wrote then hit send.. with everthing from emails to posts.

[P.C.]

I had to get out of the habit of hitting enter at the end of a post, because that would end up with the same result.  Very frustrating.

I didn't do it either, but it will be so nice to be able to go back without losing the message.

I wonder how many have mistyped the anti-bot code just to see what happens? I've just done it.

  P.S. Can we have something similar for the a-z game, just to warn us when we're going to post something out of sequence? I know that will be especially useful to PC.    

[P.C.]

Yes....I think we can Gophie.  See Below:

I tested out the change and that's great!  Thanks so much for whoever PM'ed Teh Borken and for TB to change this for us.

[P.C.]

Thank you .....thank you. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c030.gif" border=0]   I always like to be helpful.

Your modesty becomes you, PC

[purelife]

Blesses all around!

Thank you so much.  It makes it so much easier now when there are multiple posts at the same time.

  That's not modesty, silly goose.  A thankyou is always in order when a compliment is paid.

  OK....maybe the bowing and curtsying all over the place was a little over the top.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a090.gif" border=0]
