Erm, could someone please explain why all news articles on the frontpage link to http://www.ukboincteam.org.uk/uk-boinc-team-forum.html ? I can\'t replicate what you\'re talking about. At the time I\'m posting this there are NO news items appearing on the front page. They\'ve periodically appeared and disappeared for a couple months now so I just assumed it was part of the server troubles they\'ve been having.

Erm, could someone please explain why all news articles on the frontpage link to http://www.ukboincteam.org.uk/uk-boinc-team-forum.html ? My html skills such as they are indicate this line in the page source might have something to do with it.... <a href=\"http://www.ukboincteam.org.uk/uk-boinc-team-forum.html\"...</div> Just what it is doing there is another matter... My guess is that when the front-page was re-vamped some months ago to use frames a template was sought from within the Boinc community. I don\'t remember seeing the links before so it may have re-appeared during the Raid re-construction last week. Phoneman1 |

You don\'t see the news on cosmologyathome.org on the right side? ;) (On the new black site) If I hover the mouse over a news item, I can see that all items link to http://www.ukboincteam.org.uk/uk-boinc-team-forum.html... I\'m pretty sure that this wasn\'t yesterday, and I just noticed that today\'s user of the day is a member of the UK BOINC Team. Maybe something it his profile is causing this? [edit]Now I\'m pretty sure it is his profile. On the front-page the last sentence of his profile is \"Member of\". If you look at his profile you can see that the sentence should read \"Member of UK BOINCTeam\"... last.fm BOINC users group

Many still use the old design (http://www.cosmologyathome.org/testsite) to be able to read without getting blind. The problem appears only with the new design. mic.

Put a div in your profile and it spans over the frontpage... just poor coding I guess. mic.

I really don\'t feel like parsing the html apart to figure out precisely why, but I guess I can if I happen to get some time on my hands.

UBT - NaRyan\'s profile is truncated in the UOTD box, and the last part shown happens to be the opening tag for a link. With no closing tag included, all the following text (the news in this case) becomes part of the link text. A simple design flaw, if text that may contain links is to be truncated, stripping it for links first would be a good idea. |
