Some thumbnails done appear when first viewed.
[b]Cause:[/b] Thumbs are created on the fly then cached. The first view of a thumb has to make it and therefore is slow and sometimes doesn't work
[b]Solution:[/b] Refresh


Fanfiction submissions get white bars and bad paragraph spacing.
[b]Cause:[/b] This is a html bug in one of the submission methods. I don't know which one.
[b]workaround:[/b] Use a different submission method. I dont think BBcode has this problem.

I think this bug is fixed. If you have an effected story, edit it with the BB code style and just save it.

Profile pics can only be one size
[b]Cause:[/b] bug in the resize algorithm
[b]workaround:[/b] Only use pics that look good at that size.

Profile pic can't be deleted.
[b]Cause:[/b] Didn't get programmed
[b]workaround:[/b] Don't upload one.

Pages scroll down to the comment box
[b]Cause:[/b] Problem with the spell checking system. I don't know the root cause of it.
[b]workaround:[/b] Turn off spellcheck

Search is slow
[b]Cause:[/b] Search engine is running on a slow server. FAC can't currently afford a faster server for it.
[b]Solution:[/b] Wait longer.


Picture views are not updated
[b]Cause:[/b] Picture views are no longer updated in real time for performance reasons. They are still being logged.
[b]Solution:[/b] Wait for them to be updated when FAC has the resources.


FAC says I have more pictures/comments/favories/othercounter than I do
[b]Cause:[/b] Deleted pictures/comments/favorites/etc does not decrease counter values currently
[b]Solution:[/b] Live with it.

My profile/forums says some users joined 31 Dec 1969
[b]Cause:[/b] This is what is displayed for users who joined before join dates were recorded
[b]Solution:[/b] Eventually that will be replaced by something more useful

FAC is too pickey about what is allowed in picture titles
[b]Cause:[/b] This code to strip problem stuff out of titles is too agressive
[b]Solution:[/b] It will be re-programmed eventually.

Some pictures don't display when I have the resize feature turned on
[b]Cause:[/b] Same problem as "Some thumbnails done appear when first viewed."


Last visit date in my profile isn't right
[b]Cause:[/b] System to update last visit date doesn't work right


"Browse Categories" Page doesn't work
[b]Cause:[/b] This page uses complex JavaScript and CSS and may not work in some browsers. It works in IE 6 and FireFox but is known to have problems in Safari
[b]workaround:[/b] Use a different web browser.

Some categories dont appear in the list for adding pictures/stories
[b]Cause:[/b] There is something broken in the category hirarchy realted to aliases.

This should now be fixed.

Some pictures show -1 favorites
[b]Cause:[/b] Unknown.

Featured pic shows up as offensive image when it is not rated as such (Unconfirmed)
[b]Cause:[/b] Unknown

[quote]Profile pic can't be deleted.
Cause: Didn't get programmed

"Database Error" submitting pictures
[b]Cause:[/b] Unknown, the error doesn't give any details. May be caused by submissing certain image formats.
[b]Workaround[/b] Try submitting the image in a different format.

This was related to submitting to category aliases. Its now fixed.

Broken thumbnails: Some people have been reporting all thumbs appear broken to them.
[b]Cause:[/b] Unknown. Seem to work fine for most people except for the occasional broken ones.

Going to list new ones.

[b]"Newest First" sort order[/b]
- Sorts by time of order of review + approval rather than time of actual submission. Certain multi-page submissions (such as doujinshi or tutorials) may appear out of intended order when viewed in a gallery.
- Priority: Low. Is a rare occurence.
- [b]Workaround[/b]: "Newest Updated" sort method is not affected.
- Suggestions: User and category galleries sort by pid value (i.e. time of submission) while "Recent Pictures" page sorts by time of review+approval.

[b]"Advanced Search" page does not work properly[/b]
- The dropdown lists are not properly initialized, i.e. instead of showing "Pictures / All Fields" it simply shows "Pictures" with the second list blank.
- [b]Workaround[/b]: Normal search toolbar and Search Results pages are not affected.
- Suggestions: Assume default search options if none specified.

[b]Deleting/Removing pictures[/b]
- If a site admin (i.e. staff member with picture-moderating permissions) removes one of their own submissions, it is processed as an admin-level deletion instead of a user-level deletion.
- Priority: Low -- strictly a matter of recordkeeping.

[b]Submission error message[/b]
- /add_picture.php produces a valid form, but generates "I have no file to process" error when submitted.
- Priority: Low. Does not affect existing "Add fanwork" links.

[b]User forum profile information[/b]
- PHP error occurs when trying to edit forum preferences, signature, etc.
