Bored? Try This..

[Mad Zero]

Edit the text on any of your showroom descriptions and insert the word 'dropped' then hit the update button.

...oh come on now, surely you can spell a simple word like dropped?

dropropped

Now am I sad for trying it ?

[dinodog]

This kept happening to me on a post and I thought I was going mad... well there's not that far to go!

This has been around for years

If you get super bored, search for dropropped

Then dropped

I have seen dropropped (and more recently dropropropped) so many times in showroom entries that I assumed there must be something fishy afoot. I thought it was some moderator's joke that users don't get.

Is it an entry in the anti-swearing filter that replaces "drop" with "droprop" or something..?

Why hasn't it been fixed then?

That is a good question.

This thread made me laugh, as I read it and couldn't be bother to try it, then I have just added an advert for "trinity comm drops" and It has come out as "droporps" or something. Is it an automatic spell checker on the blink?!

No idea, never worried me that much

[TheBlueDragon]

Am I missing something?

Whats are you on about?

What happens if you type dropped?

Did you read the top two posts?

[OCD]

No idea, never worried me that much

Lol, why would anyone be 'worried' about it?

Rather than being worried or amused or whatever, why not just fix it?

[OCD]

Oh wait, I forgot, the person that can fix it has no interest in doing so.

...Steady on, As was clearly stated in his post he has very little time. we can all relate to that

I'll email Chris and pass on your concerns

[TWINSET]

This problem has been identified for years.

I've been aware of it for ages, but that doesn't make it 'identified' just semi-common knowledge.

No idea if Chris or any of the other mods knew about it, or how far outside the Sinister Brotherhood of Droprop our secret is knownown (curses, another one knownown about now)

I'll have it looked intoto (aaaaagh, it's epidemic)

[OCD]

Lol, nice take on my graphic.

Sorry I have come off as such a jerk, I didn't really mean to sound this way.

I guess I'm just disappointed that Chris has decided to relieve himself of the Club without really a plan or replacement.

Yes, I know he's still around, but in a very limited capacity. I don't think it's working out so well.

Please don't shoot me, it's just my pompous opinion.

We're all allowed 'em

I've emailed Chris, no idea if he even knows of this - can't for the life of me figure out why it does it, as in why it was put there in the first place.

Chris is still sorting a lot of things out as they crop up, he's just not 'patrolling' as much at the minute.

I have absolutely no idea how to alter stuff on the site, so would be the last person you ever want messing with it ever, at all.

Soon as I got an answer, I'll let y'all know.
