hehe.. okay, it's a bit more work but I think it can be done. Is it honestly needed, do you think? If so, I'll happily do it. I'm so used to raising reports myself that I don't think I even look at the screen these days, while I'm filling them out
Ah yes, that was my problem. I didn't know about the CTRL-Shift trick so I used his display name, which the system obviously didn't recognize. Thanks for that.
This problem prompts me to suggest a small new feature: It would be very nice if drivers' names remained in the list after they disconnect. Maybe five or ten minutes would make it easy for anyone who raises a report to be able to select an offending driver who may have already disconnected.
It's a nice idea, but unfortunately it's not practical in the system as it's coded at the moment, without a significant lump of re-coding.
Offset that with our base expectation that people who submit reports are expected to watch the replay themselves, to make sure that what they believed to be an offence when watching from the driver's seat is still the case when they're watching more objectively, and I can't help feeling that it would be coding that would invite a lot of off-the-cuff, poor reports. Our own experience is that 50% of the time, in a pack, the person who we THOUGHT hit us off is not the person who did it, and 50% of the time the person who DID hit us off was dive-bombed by someone entirely different. So we've a 75% error, easily solved by watching the replay.. grab their licence username at that time
Don`t know where to post it, but there was HUGE lag problems on CTRA race 3 server some mins ago. Like 15 people timed out and it was too laggy to race.
Yeah, we were aware of it at the time. It appears to have been a network issue. It knocked out the X-System for a few seconds and all websites for about 3 minutes too.
I think I've fixed those errors. I'm not sure why they cropped up today and not yesterday! I introduced the bugs by extending some of the functions (badly) which are used to calculate and display current and future licences, to *also* handle team average numbers for the teamstats page. Lesson learned!!
Today I recieved an AdminMessage:
"Your Report #9260 has been returned to you because of a problem with its content. Please check and resubmit.
Thanks, CTRA Admin Team."
I never raised and never heard of #9260 plus it´s not showing in lookup..?!
Hmm.. have absolutely no idea how that's happened, actually
I can't find #9260 either. There are no issues with any other reports raised by you. I can only assume it's a one-off glitch. I've never seen it happen before, and no idea how it happened this time. I'll keep thinking on it, but I'm lost for now.
