Quote from Arantor on June 1st, 2012, 12:18 AM
Now, anyone that can name where I got that quote without Google or IMDb wins a free internet.
Titanic?
The Poseidon Adventure?
Or maybe The Crying Game?

Sleep well ;)

It's not just a case of going to France, as such, though. It's that I've had almost no reason in the last 12 years to use French and I've probably forgotten most of it. If I really had to dig, I could probably hash something together but I'd not be able to keep up with people speaking in fluent French.

@films, wrong on all counts.

Star Trek (and to a lesser extent Firefly), apparently... Not as much fun as my answers. :P

About Q&A, my main issue with the redesign is that it isn't responsive. Try shrinking the window and behold... a scrollbar!

Thanks, Dr. Deejay :)

@Nao, the quote about treating her like a lady is in the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, when Dr McCoy from the original series is on board talking to Lt Cmdr Data, about the ship having the right name, Enterprise, and that if you treat her right...

Will there be BBC support in the verification questions?

Sometimes it is nice to add a picture in there and ask a question about it.

SMF's already does, though I managed to miss that out when reimplementing this, but fortunately that's an easy change to make.

Also note the screenshot in the first post ;)

I haven't used it in a long time, if I recall I don't think it was supported in earlier versions. Maybe wrong but I am pretty sure it wasn't. O'well it is already in there. :eheh:

*edit

I think multiple question support wasn't, maybe that is what I edited in the sources a long time ago. I just did it comma delimited with a explode for multiple answers.

SMF supported multiple questions but one answer per question, and it supported bbc parsing on questions. Nice to see that it's not just me that thought it needed improvement, heh.

Added English and French questions to registration here.
Logged out.
Switched to French.
Clicked Register (well, in French.)
Confirmed agreement...

Question shows up in English at the end of the page, even though the rest is in French.

I'd flag this as a bug ;)

OK so I tried it here. First visit to the site, in English. First thing I did, I go to the French icon and switch to French. Site is now in French, as expected. Go to registration, boom, I get a French question, as expected.

Here's where it gets tricky, I then proceed to switch back to English, go back through registration, and now I'm still asked the question in French because it's stored in session. This is not unexpected, whether it's desirable is another matter.

How exactly did you try it out?

* Arantor suspects what needs to be done is to have it detect whether or not it is the same language as currently in use and if not, refresh and fetch new question informatin.

So it should check the language and regenerate questions if the language is different?
