Dear Bungie.net Members,

Since Bungie.net has been updated to "New Hawtness v2.0" there has been many bugs, glitches, mistakes, errors, and other problems with this website. This notification is to discuss these problems and to read first, before you report a bug in the dedicated sticky thread. Because the thread Achronos created is more than 5 pages long there has been a lot of members that have reported the same bug a numerous amount of times. This has caused problems and is hard for the Bungie.net Support Team to go through, so this thread has a list of all of the "known" bugs that need to be fixed. The list will be updated and this thread is NOT for reporting bugs, but is for discussion of these problems and other suggestions that would help improve the Bungie.net website. I will reserve the second post for a FAQ, which will hopefully help some people that are new to the website.

As a reminder, please report all bugs, that are not seen below, in this thread only. This thread is not for spamming or having conversations among one another. If you wish to send a message or comment to an individual user please use the PM system.

Thank you,
Elite Rage 07

BUNGIE.NET WEBSITE BUGS F.A.Q.

Q. Will they change the color of the links after you click on them so you know the ones you have already visited?

A. The "visited link" color may change.


Q. The back button will only let me go back three times. What's the problem?

A. Regarding the back button... why are you using it? Use the breadcrumb site navigation underneath the main navbar (it starts with "Home >"). It should send you where you want to go. However, I do admit we should probably use some scripting to make the back button possibly use that information to send you to your intended destination.


Q. Why isn't my whole signature displayed and sometimes gets cut-off?

A. Finally, the signature: signatures now have both a character limit and a height limit. It is very easy to be within the character limit but exceed the height limit. Signatures that exceed this limit will be truncated - this is by design. While we probably need a way to properly preview them in your settings page, the limit is very unlikely to change, and will never get a scrollbar.


Q. Why can't I load the new build of Bungie.net?

A. The site was made with IE 7 and Firefox 2 in mind. There are several issues with IE6 that we're trying to fix, anything below IE6 is not supported (Firefox 1.5 should work also). Safari also has a few bugs, but we're looking into those.


Q. Why is my Windows Live ID session keep expiring?

A. The Windows Live ID error has is a recurring problem that happens when your browser's login cookies expire. Clear cache and cookies, restart your browser, and it should go away. You can prevent it from occurring if you turn off the save your password option and remember to close your web browser at the end of your session. I'm working on the problem.


Q. Why is there a major delay for the drop down menu at the top navigation bar?

A. As for the client side script - the menu itself is not that complicated (certainly less so than the previous design). But we do use more client side script and require your browser to do more work with layout. This means if your computer is teetering on the edge of being below recommended requirements (say, you're trying to run XP in 256 megs of RAM), you'll have problems.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Nice job, very informative.

The Search Bar is inactive I guess. Is it like that for other members as welll or is it still under construction?

The Search Bar is currently inactive for everyone. The groups, however, are being updated with new and additional features and should return sometime within the next few weeks.

May happen in other parts of the site. When you click to the last page, the left arrow points the wrong way until you put your mouse over it.

The signature can be viewed when you highlight the user's avatar in the forums. They have a thread here, you can visit and post your opinions, comments, and suggestions about the new signature.

By the way, most of those I already saw and would have reported them, but other people already did me the favor. This is a good thread though, but it should be updated now with more reports. You just need to use the dedicated sticky as a reference to recent reports that have been submitted.

I don't know if this counts for a mistake, intended or accident, it feels like a mistake to me. Since groups are currently disabled, I don't exept people to notic this one. The pull down window for forums, naturally has "The Classifieds," however. When you goto the forum, the title on the banner is different, instead it's "Group Recruiting." I would like to think it's a mistake and that it's not an attempt to desicrate consistancy. Every other forum matches it's pull down title to it's in-forum banner title.

Perhaps these aren't bugs, maybe these are the easter eggs everyone is talking about?

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

The groups are currently unavailable to access, along with the search bar. That is interesting and I agree that it should say "The Classifieds" to match the appropriate forum. But, it is no mistake or error. Bungie may have done that on purpose because their main goal for the classifieds may be just for group advertising. They might use the flood for other purposes since it is the off-topic forum.
