Presented for your approval: one website, in need of testing

So, now ready for testing

Are you worried about broswer compatibility? because the blue bar on the home page with Login, Register and Faq links seems to be only half height and it looks rather odd.

Browser: Opera
Version 7.54
Build 3869
Platform Win32
System Windows 2000

Thanks! I appreciate it, I definitely want it to be compatible. :-)

I downloaded and installed Opera, and I see what you're talking about. That really does look awful. I played with the style sheets for a bit, and it is displaying correctly for me. Look OK to you too?

[thisismychaos]

Yes that looks much better. If only all websites were so quick to provide fixes :)
I signed up under thisismychaos btw.

[snapdragon2003]

LOL, but it was an easy fix. Plus I was between classes. :-) I'll try to keep being quick to respond though!

I registered as spockette, with bittersweetfaithATgmailDOTcom as my email addy.

Also, what kind of graphics do you want? A header, or anything else or what?

[snapdragon2003]

OK, I've updated the DB; you are now a tester!

Graphics... hmm. Definitely at least a header. I should be able to come up with a nice menu and buttons to match. And some kind of unusual color scheme. Something people don't use too much, but that looks really cool. I was sort of thinking about oranges or an unusual green or yellow? Except not something that will make people go "OWMYEYES!!!@#$%TURNITOFFTURNITOFFTURNITOFF!!!" ;-) And maybe some kind of semi-3D look... maybe... I don't know, I'm just throwing some ideas out there. If any of it sounds good, then cool; if not, try something different. But definitely something very clear and simple... Is that any help? Sorry for being so vague!

[thisismychaos]

Perhaps this is behaving as expected, well sort of, but maybe you could handle it better?

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (txtLocation="foo").

The previous comment was using 'foo' in a field on signup, but I forgot to escape it :/

Sorry to spam your journal, but using ' configuration so all servers use the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster. 2) Viewstate can only be posted back to the same page. 3) The viewstate for this page might be corrupted

[snapdragon2003]

OK, I will add that and the previous bugs to my bugs list... :-) May have to set up some kind of bug reporting and tracking system soon. We'll see.

LOL, never would've expected myself to say this, but I am very happy to see someone really working hard to break the website. I seriously appreciate it. Thanks!

Jer

okay, here we go

[jer_bear83]

I added a movie but didn't click the blue add button, when i clicked collection, it wasn't there, went to add it, said movie is in database. :-)

Re: okay, here we go

[snapdragon2003]

Yeah, I guess that's kind of confusing. I set it up to allow people to add a movie they didn't have yet. I should add a checkbox to the main Add Movie page that says something to the effect of "Also add movie to my collection" and have it checked by default.

Thanks! See, this is why I'm asking you guys to test it. This is stuff I probably wouldn't've thought of.
