Petition Details and Chat

Petition ID 201: It is possible to lock yourself out in global banter or in a petition with the badnav links.
Submitted Tue, 08 Nov 11 08:28:32 +0000

It appears that even though global banter or petitions don't links on character names (which can get you stuck in the character's bio and global banter, or the global bio and the petition system), It is possible to access the links from the white "Hey, is something wrong?" screen.

There was a similar bug to it, where you could click the superuser grotto from that screen and end up in the failboat with zero favor, but that was fixed.

To create this bug, I started a fight, and clicked combat options too many times before the page loads, showing me the "Hey, is something wrong?" screen. With links to pages in the global banter and the petition system, in addition to links to the player names, any of which you can not access in the actual fight, but still can through that one. (The screen where you can scroll down back to the game.

I have managed to capture some of the links, but not all of them, while testing this bug after it happened the first time:
bio.php?char=21748&ret=runmodule.php%3Fmodule%3Dglobal_banter%26frombio%3Dtrue

runmodule.php?module=global_banter&comscroll=0&restorecomment=

runmodule.php?module=global_banter&frombio=true&c=1247-082336

runmodule.php?module=global_banter&commentid=7495438

bio.php?char=57489&ret=runmodule.php%3Fmodule%3Dglobal_banter%26frombio%3Dtrue&frombio=true

The problem started since Global Banter and the petition system were implemented, probably.

P.S. I am stuck, it would be nice if I got somebody to reset my navs! Thank you!

P.P.S While not an actual bug, I feel like including that Global Banter is still including "Be warned - this is very, very experimental and may disappear or change at any time. We simply don't know, yet, what sort of effect this will have on the server." after many, many months of activity.
