UK Free TV now uses friendly web addresses
Saturday 18 October 2014 8:30PM

I've found and fix another few problems with the change to URI type addresses.

There was an issue with your image now showing in your settings box.

There was a few database issues with different sets of codes being using for the same thing. This has been fixed (was invisible, sorted before it became a problem).

The "dead" sections have been deleted from the system and no longer appear on the "help" menu.

The "sticky" menu items now have a tick to explain the lack of alphabetical sorting.

The section names are now short enough to work in the menus.

There is now a Can YOU help? page - https://ukfree.tv/extr…help

I've tweaked the list of countries that you can post to UK Free TV from. This now is all EU countries plus the US.

Mike Goodall: Thanks for that. I'm looking into it.

It seems that some dirty data is getting into a table that does reverse lookups. I'm working on fixing it.

I've changed the error handler - now that things are reasonably stable - if you get a "bad route" message it will be on a normal page, and it will redirect to the hope page automatically after a short delay.

It also forces some background integrity checks to run.

And, of course, it gets logged.

I just need to re-fix the "IRT" issue now...

The Help->All Posts By link now links to your own posts (if you have posted before, of course).

The list of people posts pages now show the user's image (again).

Mike Incles: Very well.

Seems a bit of a strange decision to have 42 month old software that is full of bugs, but if you're happy with that that's your decision.

I'm pleased to say that I have fixed the "IRT" ("in reply to") system.

This means that you can, once again, directly access the comment posting from the

https://ukfree.tv/extr…help
or

https://ukfree.tv/extr…ents

pages. and from the box at the top of the page.

Sorry for the delay is getting this to work again, it was rather .. involved.

Paul Chambers: It might just be this problem - Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you ?
