Ah, good point. I've added automatic line wrapping.

A very minor bug, but I thought I'd report it anyway: it seems that letters with accents aren't sorted correctly. For instance, in the list of games in French, Bête du Gévaudan, La is sorted before Baratin blues, although the "a" should be before the "ê".

Well... not necessarily. I see what you mean, but computers think differently. Manual re-sorting is an expensive operation - how important is that?

Well, computers are wrong, then. :wink:

But as I said, it's a very minor problem, especially since there aren't that many game titles with accents anyway, because most of the games are in English. Don't worry about it if it's difficult to fix or if it would slow down the site!

I could try a workaround on database level; that would be fairly inexpensive. I'm not sure how this particular SQL server will react to the attempt, though. I'll just give it a try.

I've put some character mappings into the code. The most common special characters should now be sorted as expected.

Not sure if this is a "bug" or just that they have not been updated yet, but two of my solutions seem to be missing. They are for the following games:

Mines of Saturn

Manor of Doom

Plus the solution for Terror from Sarnath has been incorrectly listed under Jacob's name:

This is best illustrated with an example. If you look at page http://solutionarchive.com/game/id,1203/ you will note that the various resources do not line up with their respective creators. This isn't the only page where this occurs, but it is the page that had me clicking on the wrong links when I was attempting an update.

Eek! that's nasty, something weird is definitely going up with the list. As a workaround, if you remove the platform (in this case it's not a problem as there is only one platform), then it works okay.

That's a bug. Unfortunately my development server died yesterday, losing my local copy of CASA and about 6 months worth of email so it may take some time before I can reincarnate the old server and get back to a place where I can look at fixing issues.

Well I see you've already done that, but I hope you don't mind me removing your name from the resource credits - why should you receive kudos for a game you haven't played? :wink:

Not a bug per se - but if anyone's wondering why their submissions aren't being processed, it's due to the fact that I moved four days ago and my life has been reduced to a heap of boxes. I'll try to catch up with everything within a few days.

Ha - excuses!!! :P

Maybe I should do a cross reference check of all the solutions I have sent over the years and whether they are posted?
