Cannot continue old episodes
« on: May 18, 2022, 01:04:03 PM »
I tried to create an episode under https://addventure.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/docs/870/870914.html, but the "accept" button redirected me to http://~addventure/cgi-bin/newproc.cgi/~addventure/game1/docs, which is obviously wrong.

Extending recent episodes seems to be working.

From BEginner on the discord

Thanks for the pointer, I'm aware of 'an issue'.  I did some research on it and for the time being I'll need to tackle it on a case-by-case basis.  I.e. if people run into this issue, msg me (BEginner) and I can fix a specific branch they want to extend.  I'm looking into a longer term fix.  I don't have my old forum pwd, so if you have, can you drop a note on that thread to the effect of what I said above?

Discord invite link should you need it:

Thank you Benji!

I prefer not to join the discord at this time (too many distractions already).
Can you please alert BEginner for me?

If you want to save BEGinner some time, you can try to be a webdeveloper yourself!
With Firefox:
  • Go to the page with "Creating Episode 29292" at the top (or whatever the episode number is)
  • Right Click on the button that says "Accept" next to the text that says "Create this page" and from the right-click menu select "Inspect"
  • The Developer pane will open up.  You'll see the html of the site.  It's only a few lines.
  • Look for the line that says
Code: [Select]
<form method="POST" action="http:/~addventure/cgi-bin/newproc.cgi/~addventure/game1/docs">
  • You want to cut out the malformed protocol.  To do that, right click on the line and select "Edit as HTML".
  • This will open up the editor.  Simply delete the http: so that the line reads as follows:
Code: [Select]
<form method="POST" action="/~addventure/cgi-bin/newproc.cgi/~addventure/game1/docs">
  • Click outside the edit box to save your change, now you can click the "Accept" button.
  • Create an episode that's brilliant, funny, horny, and original
  • Open up your resume and add the line "Web Developer" to your skills

You're welcome!
