PHP Glitch?

vb_master · Post by **vb_master** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 5:25 pm

I was looking at *o*'s profile, and I went to look at all the posts he made, and he has 2191 pages (that's not right), and none of the pages (past 1) work. This number suggests that he has made 32865 posts (which he has not)

Screenshot of the glitch

Can anyone tell me why that's happening?

Thats not all *o*'s posts read the authours names and if you click on any other pages beside page one it doesent work It must be a bad link.

I found out how to access the other pages.

Clicking on page 2 searches for his a number ID, I don't know what it's for.

http://benheck.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/se ... A&start=15 This is how you view the second page, add 15 to &start=# to access the next page. Interesting that it contains posts by Motoman, bicostp, Turbo Tax 1.0, monster, soundwave, Doofus, Antwarrior, Reaperman@home, Radon199, MikeJones, nos_slived, gannon, extremesonic, superdeformed, jeffslot, Postal, Reploid Ayla, SpongeBuell, Triton, tom61, elixirnova, cyanidetaco, segasonicfan, Joes2Silly, and *o* himself (maybe more! I only went through page 6!)... So PHPBB must search for each name that has the letter o in it. Something to tell the PHPBB bug group.

I am going to make a seperate account to test this. Unless... Ben/Gannon doesn't want me to do this?

It's not a real glitch, just that * is the wildcard for the search page.

It still has a side effect.

I went to search "*O*", the browser started to slow down with the usual "this search is big and will probably freeze the computer temporarily" signs. So, I had to back out.

32865 is pretty close to the number of posts in forum 42...

If HK-47, Sparkfist, and peppers had an o in their names, that would be a lot more pages. about half of those pages are from 7 of the top ten posters(which includes *o*, Bic, and me).
