Forums - Website Topics - Bug in the website mail system?

I just got an message that won't allow me to reply to it (when I press the reply button nothing happens).  I checked my older messages and they all allow me to reply to them.  I guess it's not a huge deal since I can just create a new mail message instead of replying to the one I received but I thought I'd mention it.

Yes, same thing happened to me. I click on reply on my most recent email and the button does the little animation it's pressed, but nothing happens.

Didn´t Gball have that problem ??? While I´m at it, is she comming back ? And who let the back door open for Hus to come back :) ???

By the way, nice new avatar ioi, thanx for the PC section too :) 



 

 

 

well I dont have that problem...I was just messaging someone and I hit the reply button and everything is fine..IDK @_@




 

Ok to help narrow down the problem I noticed it happened in a reply by a mod to a posting I reported. I assume that when a person reports a posting it goes into a system in which all of the mods see it, I think the problem is caused when a mod replies to a user in that system.

I also don't think it's a big deal, a new message can just be made, but to help pin it down more. I'm unable to respond to a message from EEPiccolo, that was a reply to a message of mine. So in my case the mods are not involved at all. And Legend11 is right, all my older emails work just fine.

I think it might have happened to me a couple times as well...

It hasn't happened in the past month or so though.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Actually I just looked at the source for the page that it's happening on and I suspect that it has something to do with the use of single quotes in the subject line of the message I received causing a parsing error with the html code for the reply button. If anyone wants to test it out I can send someone here a message with the same subject line as the one I received and couldn't reply to, I suspect the person I send the message to won't be able to reply to it either.

Source for "Reply" button for message where the button doesn't work:

<input type="button" value="Reply" onclick="location.href='sendmessage.php?to=247&subject=He 'who'???&quote=6819'">

The first single quote in the subject that I have highlighted closes the single quote before sendmessage.



Well, the email I'm having trouble with does have a single quote in the subject.

yes, well spotted

I'll make some adjustments

 Is this site built on an existing codebase? Or did you build it from scratch?  I've mentally toyed around with the idea of creating a forum CMS, but I've never had the time, nor the motivation for that matter.

 

Just curious...
