Stuff that needs fixin' around the MDb [ WEBSITE ]

by **Ice Trooper** » 05.18.12 6:47am

The main page is just a white page saying "Welcome to nginx!" When I try to go there on Firefox. Thing is, it didn't do that on my older computer that probably had an older version of Firefox. It works fine on Internet Explorer. Does Windows 7 have a problem with the main page in Firefox?

Everything else seems to work fine on Firefox, if I go there directly, I can go to any other section fine, but when I try to go to the main page, Welcome to nginx! I was worried for a while because I thought the site might have been hacked or something, glad I was wrong...

We're aware of the issue and looking into it. It's difficult to pinpoint since it seems to be intermittent.

Nginx is a web server like Apache. The welcome message is just an error page you get when the server hiccups or maintenance is being done or something like that. The problem can persist because the page can be cached so it just gets reloaded when you make the same http request. That's why the welcome message only appeared on the main page in Firefox for you, Ice Trooper.

Alright, thanks.

I thought clearing my cookies of this site would fix it but it didn't. Oh well, it's fine. I can still get here fine, and if I want to go to the main page I can just open Internet Explorer.

Had to check the spelling of "Fireflea" in the manual for the wiki, to see if it had a space and noticed that MDb's transcript of Super's manual was missing that enemy. :geemer:

Found a scan of the manual, to be sure that it was supposed to be.

We have a .pdf scan as well y'know... -_-;

That txt version of the manual was written a long time ago, so TJ just must have accidentally skipped over it. It's not a big deal. But thanks for letting us know.

Also... you wouldn't trust our Bestiary on that kind of thing either? o_O

In the Desgeega-X page in the bestiary, there is a link under Misc. for Cacatac that appears to be broken. From what I can tell, the address has one too many /bestiary.

I was looking around in the Echoes soundtrack section, and for some reason I saw 4 tracks in the main soundtrack listing that have the name "Elevator".

When I'm on the index page, the webpage for some reason flips horizontally and when I move the mouse around, it tends to compress horizontally while remaining fixed at the center of the screen. Dragging the cursor to the right side of the screen makes it flip back but the compression still happens as the cursor is moved around. Somehow it is able to settle. I'm not getting this quirk on other websites.

It's a rare issue that happens around once a year called an April fools' joke. (also wrong thread)

The Metroid Screenshot Map on the Metroid part of the site is left over from Fileplanet, and it links to IGN's error page.

It likely won't be fixed for various reasons. This should tide you over instead.
