Pressing register crashes opera FYI

Iv No clue why...

EDIT: Yes, yes i see why, it was coded by some export frontpage, yeah you might want to fix that.

Edited October 4, 2013 by Chewett

[Tom Pouce]

Hi  Chewett

 

This is an know to me problem that opera, ... but i dont know how to improve so it dont crash

 

as an right now solution i had put an warning to that effect, and say i tested with exlorer and firefox and its good

 

If yu know how to improve forms so it dont crash , youd be kind to message me the solution as its over my knoledge to do

 

thanks

 

Tom

[Nimrodel]

*Nimrodel* doesnt work.. so you might have issues if you've included my name in the quest somewhere. It's probably because of the asterixes.

[Grido]

*Grido* also didn't work, so I find it likely to be because of the *'s, for the record I put my name in without them after that error.

[Syrian]

i registered as well, with "Syrian" as asterisks dont work as previously mentioned

 

Sy 

[Sunfire]

aye, they dont, signed up as Sunfire

[Tom Pouce]

yes sorry if  bother you, BUT your player name is PLAYER  not *Player* the asterix are your title as lho

 

(hint)  :)

 

note

 

If you are aware of good new players, you could point them to this quest

as they have an additionnal chance, with the less than 60 or 120 day promo to win something

 

I revise my first posting to list who is registered to date

That might be your definition, but its not the games. So you might want to write that down on your form tom.

Yes... But several in game features don't work if you dont type it with the asterixes. Infact most.

Note i did put to make chewett happy the md time but if there is an error its the UTC (GMT/Zulu)-time:that is right

Edited October 9, 2013 by Tom Pouce

[Chewett]

Tom please use english on the forum as a requirement.

Furthermore, it is recommended to use Server Time instead of your own time, so that people can easily convert since everyone knows their offset to server time and therefore wont have to waste time converting everything.

[Tom Pouce]

there seem to be 7 hours difference between me and MD server but did not want to make any error, so i provide instead the unerversal reference the UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time.

 

and there is still my time zone time, as i dont want to forget when i should do what i need to do

 

to be sure that there was no error i use the link i did provide

and copy paste to its no error

 

but that site and modern browser make it write it in french, i did provide in (the translation of the day)

and i use an unerversal reference the UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, GMT is Greenwich Mean Time.

Edited October 6, 2013 by Tom Pouce

[Chewett]

Just work out your times, then work out your difference with the server and translate it across.

Server time says 20:39 for me, my computer time is 18:39, so i would just add 2 hours to all my times.

there seem to be an limit to messages convo in forum, seem i cant send more message ...

if yu have questions post here or see me in game if you cant send me an forum message

 

- for immagination

part 1  code is 26 corresponding letters, if when summiting before end you dont have the 26 put an space where  its missing

then give the author name

 

part 2  place bloc in order to recover an poem then find author

only the author is the answer

 

- for balance

Do ALL the diagonals add up to the number on the right, or just the two? the 2 main diagonals

yu say 0 to 50 what does it mean for 0 and 50? they are include

 

Note: to sumit the answers partial or complete, even if you did not found any, (as each stage is different  you can perform better in another stage),  use the send form before the stage 1 end, to be allow to go the stage 2

 

Can i send partial answer and send the remaining later? the first form soumission is your soumission (take it like an exam you give all your anwers at same time)

(understand, evaluating an bunch of form send from same player would make it to much)

Edited October 8, 2013 by Tom Pouce

[dst]

Ok, the cipher has multiple solutions ( I mean for the imagination, first task). Will all of them be counted as OK or do you have one specific in mind? If you do have one specific then you should give some hints as to what that is because it is impossible to know which is which.

 

Also, there are few spelling mistakes.

if there is multiple solution then there is

 

and on an personnal note DST , maybe you should look at your in game message box, i message you an few day ago, and dont seem to have been read .. or you take you time to answer

 

:P

:P

You still haven't answer my question: will any of the solutions be accepted as correct ?

[Tom Pouce]

tought i had answer so, ,,, if with what you have you can do only so much,,  then if i am just will i be not take that in to account? or do you think i should do something else and be unfair?

[dst]

I think you can give a straight answer like: yes, all versions will be taken into account. Is that so difficult to do or do you like beating around the bush?

[donniecesar]

I'm still nowhere in the challenge, but I've learned a lot about cyphers and cryptography in the last 12 hours. :D

 

A question on the first part: 

 

- for immagination

part 1  code is 26 corresponding letters, if when summiting before end you dont have the 26 put an space where  its missing

then give the author name

 

Corresponding to what? So far I believe the answer is the name of the poem, but no confirmation. I'm in story mode, so I can't find anyone in game and I have also received no message.

 

The answer form has three fields. I believe they must be filled with: 1: Name of first poem; 2 - Author of first poem and 3 - Author of second poem.
Is that correct?

Nuh. First one was to be the key. As in which letter corresponds to which letter.
