    Bug-fixing Contest

    Hi everyone, I need a few testers/bug-fixers for my new site. I am trying to integrate niceforms and custom form elements into my SMF-based blog, but ended up with numerous bugs -mainly position problems or failure of javascripts.
    You'll receive 100 'x10 credits' for every bug you discover and give the necessary fix, 50 credits if u cannot fix it, 150 credits if its an all-round fix ( same bugs in multiple pages fixed by single change in code)
    Bugs involve no php or other server side problems but is mainly caused due to css, html or js troubles.
    Anyone interested can post here and i will provide a test account for you.
    Note: All the fixes must be cross browser compatible.
    For a start, the first one is on my search page.
    The problem is that in the "Message age:" option, both the text boxes appear together allthough the code is
    HTML Code:
    <div class="small_header" style="margin-bottom: 2px;">
    <b>Message age: </b>
    </div><br/>Between 
    <input type="text" name="minage" value="0" size="5" 
    maxlength="5" />
    &nbsp;and&nbsp;
    <input type="text" name="maxage" value="9999" size="5" 
    maxlength="5" /> days.
    </div>
    and this happens everywhere a similar code is encountered. the text boxes are not positioned as they usually were without styling.

    well this seems to be a bug with NiceForms itself. because when I turn javascript off it appears as how you want it, except without any styling.
    I'll need some time to look into it.

    Yeah, it's a bug with niceforms, and i noticed another bug, though it happens only in chrome- the check all checkbox doesn't work properly: other checkboxes are updated only after you click somewhere else!

    Since the credit system seems to be back, is someone interested?

    Sure, if you have a working URL (I'm getting a 404 for index.php, so there's probably a problem with your co.cc domain).

    That was because i was moving servers, It should be fine now, see if you can find any js, css related errors.

    Haven't found any bugs, but I have a suggestion:

    CyberFlare Blog
    on index.php it is plain text and on index.php?action=search it is a link and a different font. It'd be better if it were consistent

    Re: Bug-fixing Contest

    Man, it's a link tree which shows where you are, so that you can go back. It's consistent in every subcategories...
    BTW, as for bugs, in chrome, if you view the registration page, The 'i agree' checkbox lies to the left whereas its supposed to be on the center. Can you give a fix for that?(shouldn't mess-up the layout with other browsers)
    BTW, as you can see, I fixed the search page bug mentioned in the first post myself(with a bit of help from misson though).
