All the Questions Version Details
Working under the hood
Check out the details of what we're working on and what we've done.
Each feature is listed beneath the version that it was first released under. For BETA versions (all versions until 1.0), the current version is marked as Current, and the version currently under development is marked Working. Features listed under Working versions are goals and are added into the current version as they are completed. The Working version becomes the Current version when all its listed features are finished. After version 1.0, the site is no longer beta, and new versions will be built and tested in the lab, then integrated into the current site as an upgrade patch, once they are stable and bug-free.

Random PHP Warnings

admin comment: Result of special character in the question body, similar to search result errors.
Answers Layout

admin comment: Resolved by fixing unclosed p tags and making sure that the content of the results div expand to at least the minimum height. Problem solved.
Escaping
description: Sometimes it goes crazy and over escapes the hell out of posted answers. Looks like a result of repeatedly being passed through the answer.php page by its multiple forms.

admin comment: I forgot how to type stripslashes(). Apparently it's just super complicated for me to do that sometimes. Yeah.
PHP Warnings on Search
description: Warnings appear when search strings include a comma or if there is a space with an unaccepted character such as a ? (or no character at all) immediately following, but search will still function properly.

admin comment: This bug and the 'Random errors' bug are both caused by special characters in a search string. In this case, the string is generated from the question being asked and used to search for similar questions to show the "Are you looking for one of these?" feature. Both are being fixed by a more detailed parse of search strings before they are passed to the actual search functions.
Login Button during Answer post
description: If the login button is clicked while at any stage of the Answer posting process, the page disappears and shows only the footer or the Post Answer form and the footer with no styles, but login is processed and the user is logged in, if you click back to home or some other page.
