Does anyone else find the random page function only chooses the Oblivion:diseases page?
Is it a bug, or was it done for Halloween? (In which case can we have it back now Halloween's over).

KalleFlaxx · Post by **KalleFlaxx** » Tue Nov 02, 2010 9:52 am

Hmm... Nope. I tried it 5 times and got these articles: Morrowind:Guild of Mages (Vivec), Redguard:Extracting game data, Lore:Cryngaine Field, Morrowind:Rithleen and Shivering:Traelius.

I dunno how it were during Halloween, though. It's back to normal now, at least.

OK, this is weird.
In Firefox, Random Page always gives Oblivion:Diseases. If I try it in IE, I always get Oblivion:The Ultimate Heist.

KalleFlaxx · Post by **KalleFlaxx** » Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:08 am

Strange... I use Firefox, and for me it works flawlessly.

Hang on, I'll try IE.

Edit: Okay... This is really weird. When I use the Random Page button on Internet Explorer, I first get to the Tes3Mod:Tamriel Rebuilt/Kulidon page, and if I click again, I end up in the Oblivion:The Ultimate Heist page. After that, I always go to Oblivion:The Ultimate Heist page, but if I restart the browser, it all starts over.

I guess it could be good to contact an admin about this.

How strange, it stays on the 'disease' page for me every time I click that link....I'll send an email to one of the admins to try and sort it out.

And Newsound comes and saves the day!

It's kinda strange, though, since I don't end up on the disease page, no matter which browser I use.

All in a days work for an aspiring ~~Super-villain~~ Tea-party mod.

I reckon a the link has become corrupted and only has a few page links in the memory at the moment or something. I sent an email to Ratwar so we will see what he makes of it.

Edit: Oh, and how many people is this happening to?

Mine is fine. I just tested it on Firefox, and my ten clicks gave ten different pages.

Rose of Sithis · Post by **Rose of Sithis** » Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:24 pm

Mine's weird, too. I clicked it about five times, and got 'Daggerfall:Runaway Pet' every time.

First time lead me to 'Oblivion:The Ultimate Heist', but from the second click onward, all I got was 'Daggerfall:Runaway Pet'.

KalleFlaxx · Post by **KalleFlaxx** » Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:32 pm

Something's definitely weird. Good that you pointed it out, Vlad!
I hope the admins can do something about it.

I did it for two minutes straight (Might not seem like much, but try to do it for that long) and I didn't get one repeat.

Blackhawk Vegal · Post by **Blackhawk Vegal** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:08 pm

videogmer314 · Post by **videogmer314** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:57 pm

On Firefox, I got Oblivion: Plan for the Big Heist, then it looped on Daggerfall: Runaway Pet.
On IE, I got Morrowind: Tel Mora People, then it looped on Bloodmoon: Belladonna Berries.

Veck · Post by **Veck** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 4:30 pm

Oblivion: Rugdumph's Sword
Lore: The Ways Of The Wind
Tes3Mod:Tamriel Rebuilt/Boethian Deeps
Oblivion:Five Songs of King Wulfharth
Shivering:Linux

This was on Safari for iPod Touch. 5 clicks, 5 different pages.

Vlad the Imperial · Post by **Vlad the Imperial** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 9:40 am

It seems to work when I'm logged in (to the main site, not the forum) but not when I'm logged out. It used to work all of the time, even when logged out. Oh well, I guess if I can get it to work by logging in, that's OK.

Hunter22 · Post by **Hunter22** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 4:00 pm

Firefox and got different pages each time. Unless its been fixed already...

Rose of Sithis · Post by **Rose of Sithis** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:59 am

Still isn't working for me, but instead of 'Daggerfall:Runaway Pet' I get 'Shivering:Dancer'.

Dean · Post by **Dean** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 3:56 am

Strange that it is only happening to some people. Well I contacted the admins awhile back...now it is just a matter of waiting.

videogmer314 · Post by **videogmer314** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 8:53 pm

I just tried it again, and I got Oblivion:Plan for the Big Heist (like last time), then it looped on Tes4Mod:Wrye Bash/Bash vs. OBMM.

Rose of Sithis · Post by **Rose of Sithis** » Sat Nov 13, 2010 12:43 am

Now, instead of "Shivering:Dancer" I get "Shivering:Sheogorath Shrine". I tried it with Internet Explorer, too, instead of Firefox, and I'm getting "Oblivion:Imperial City People".

The Raven · Post by **The Raven** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 11:29 am

I can't get anything but
Oblivion: The Rear Guard
even though I click it multiple times.

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » Mon Nov 15, 2010 8:33 pm

...The Rear Guard...???
