OverClocked ReMix Design ?'s and Issues

I have an interesting suggestion. What if (obviously for V6) instead of a Latest ReMixes sidebar on the right, we put it across the top of the page? People tend to look at the top of a page more often than the bottom, so mixes that currently are nearing the bottom of the page may get less recognition, but it seems reasonable to believe that OCR wants approximately equal recognition for the Latest ReMixes. :) (Or do you think this would draw too much attention away from the Latest Release/Announcements?)

Hey all,

I'm trying to post a topic in the Help subforum, but every time I try this I get a notification saying that my message is too short. It's definitely not though, I'm pretty sure it has more than 10 characters. Does anyone know why this is? I'm posting this using Internet Explorer because it won't work in Firefox.

Thanks,

YT

The various pages on this site seem to be quite inconsistent in their handling of trailing forward slashes in the URL. It seems to be consistent for each section of the site, but the sections are inconsistent with each other. For instance, forgetting the slash on a remix page results in a 404 error, but artist profile pages result in a 404 when it's PRESENT. Also, some sections support redirection if all you know is the id of the target, and not the name, such as http://ocremix.org/game/1 (works with or without the slash at the end...), whereas other sections don't redirect but just load the correct page, such as http://ocremix.org/album/1 (doesn't work with a slash) which loads the same as http://ocremix.org/album/1/final-fantasy-vii-voices-of-the-lifestream (also doesn't work with a slash). This is currently making my life a bit miserable trying to get my Android app for the site working...

Thanks a lot for being so thorough here. Going above and beyond in laying it out definitely helps. :-) Can't promise a quick fix, but djp is looking at getting this working consistently.

EDIT (3/24): As of last night, this is now fixed. Thanks again for laying the issues out so well.

I've been trying to create a new thread since yesterday and every time I try to post, I get this message:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@ocremix.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I am able sometimes to preview the post successfully, but it requires removing certain parts of the post for some reason. I've revised the length of the post, shortened and condensed some things, but it doesn't seem to be making much difference. So far I'm able to preview this post just fine so I'm assuming it will post for me, but the thread I want to create is still not working.

The post does have some length to it, maybe about 1,000 characters over the limit when I first tried posting, but I've trimmed the overall size down so it should be under the maximum character limit. But even when I decided to split everything into two posts, while the first one would turn up fine when I click Preview Post, the second half would still give me the error message unless I removed a specific paragraph from it. Unfortunately, I can't post it here without the error popping up, and even if I manually type it word for word opposed to copy/pasting it from googledocs, it makes no difference.

The weirdest part is that there does not appear to be anything of note about that one paragraph to suggest why it would cause problems, no formatting aside from bolding and I tried without that as well without success.

What about sending the copy to admin@ocremix.org? The problem's too vague without the example of the broken copy.
