Re: Various 403/404 errors

Alright, those are interesting ones! I fixed the third. The other two, I also couldn't find an obvious way to get to those. If you ever spot again which page generates them, let us know.

Do you have several tabs of the website open when you enter the credentials?

Re: Unable to login from Banner

It's working just fine for me. Could you be a bit more descriptive? From which page are you trying to log in? What's your browser? What happens, are there any messages, warnings, errors? When you enter the same credentials on the forum, does it work without any glitches? Afterwards, are you logged ...

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

I see that there has been a new rating by "Anonymous" on "The Dungeons" (https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C3 ... C+The.html). Could the person who actually submitted this, if present, please raise the hand?

Re: New fighting fantasy book

The Zork books are rater poor in my humble opinion. Fighting Fantasy was ultra successful in the past, but in its heyday, there were also a lot of duds published in the series. Many books are good, some great. But it is surely the most uneven gamebook series I know.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

I have put a small potential workaround in the meantime. That could explain the difference of behaviour from one hour to the other. It would, however, not actually solve the underlying issue. I suspect this happens due to PHP's weak typing system, which probably interprets a NULL or a Boolean value ...

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

It would be good to find out of OVL logs in from the forum or the website and if they are using cookies or not.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

It must be a bug. User IDs are shared with the forum, and here: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1 - it doesn't exist.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

The site doesn't allow for anonymous ratings, so that cannot be right.

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

I re-attributed the rating of The Eleventh Hour.

There are a number of "anonymous" ratings remaining:

Adventure in Time and Space (Anonymous, 26-02-2025 19:20)
Castle Adventure (Anonymous, 23-02-2025 23:39)
Terrors of Trantoss, The (Anonymous, 23-02-2025 07:57)

Re: Username showing as Anonymous after submission

Alright, I've checked and deployed a code change which I hope will avoid this issue in the future. Cannot really 100% confirm it, though. I have re-attributed the comment to Exemptus. Feel free to also remove the submission from the queue once processed.

Should this sort of thing occur again ...
