AirsoftBuddy - find airsofters around you

[Samurai]

If you're going to use HTML5 attributes, you might want to declare the doctype correctly

Thanks for checking it. It started as html5 but that got lost somehow on the way.

Would make sense to have a on site private messaging system,

That would open a can of worms I really don't want. Not on a technical side, I have created a PM and a chat system before, but because of legal and moral problems. So I just decided that AirsoftBuddy will help airsofters to find eachother, but the communication will not be done through it. There are many better channels to do that: email, FB, etc. It would be a redundant thing to implement.

Could we have a key or different colour code or just fields to show players game of interest e.g. CQB, woodland, Milsim, etc

That's a good idea, cheers.

Showing sites is a much needed feature, I'll figure out a good way to do it.

Thanks everyone for your help with this.

Fair point

The activation was unsuccessful. Will try again later.

I have added some smarter activation logic. You can now resend activation email if needed.

I signed up. Looks neat, and could be a great tool for softers.

I was hoping to see a pointer in the states... I am disappointed

Last night I tried to change my password from the forgotten pw link an the form kept stating that the two values were different. This worked today on the normal change password page but not sure if they're different - worth a check.

If you want site data I can provide you with our private api. It contains all the sites and their fields and stores. We have this similar project in build at the moment but are happy to let someone else do it.

I'm having problems when you click on someone just has loading symbol and does nothing and defo having site locations would be a sweet

Same problem.

Looks like the password composition criteria has been changed overnight as an improvement or something - couldnt use old password ?

Tried changing password on one platform under the forgotten password route and it asked me for my old password before I could move on.

Just tried it again on another platform and its fine and was able to change password.

 

[Castle]

People actually still use that?

Even Microsoft technically abandoned ie

No, IE 11 is still supported by Microsoft. They built edge browser based on the concepts google used in chrome..

I added some special characters to the ones that can be used in the passwords and maybe different browsers implement the validation check differently. What are the 2 browsers/OS-es you tried?

Are you using HTML5 validation, Javascript or Post Request Validation? Because I dont see how browsers would impact that. HTML5 Validation work the same across all browsers.

If he used Tor then Javascript would be disabled so it wouldn't load js validation. If thats the case he will have a hard time loading your googlemaps embedded frame.

I had that only in UC browser on Android. I couldn't yet figure out the reason. What browser is yours?

UK only, sorry.

HTML5, that's why this puzzles me.

I looked at the html, it looks fine to me. You might want to add a info box telling people they need "Minimum 8, maximum 20 characters, a number is needed" the regexpress pattern looks fine, plus the label for="passwordConfimation" is wrong but that shouldnt effect the HTML5 validation.

Shame it's still a pile of poo. Yay MSFT.

Eh, no. HTML5 Validation should work the same across all supported browsers, but it has a tendency to throw discrepancies between Safari vs Chrome vs FF vs Opera, some regex doesn't work consistently in Opera for inexplicable reasons, some of the validation certain sub attributes hasn't worked since FF 47, Chrome just make things up as they go along. Safari have tonnes of stuff enabled that won't even make it to spec for at least 2Q's etc etc.

Your correct but I did not want to go into to much detail since CORE-26329 was fixed but is not in stable, but in general its supported by all most modern browsers.

Same error.

What's Grindr?

It's a tool to clear your exhaust.

Firefox on MS7 and Safari on iOS

 

[AshOnSnow]

Stop using IE then?!

Chrome and Firefox aren't available.

It's a real nightmare to make sure stuff plays ball with anything below IE8-9 (even 10 has its quirks). The fact of the matter is that there are a very, very small amount of legitimate users who use such old browsers and on a project like this it's not worth the effort in most cases. Making a webpage truly backwards compatible with IE is a very significant undertaking - many issues can be fixed with separate rules, but most can't without breaking the overall appearance.
