Staredit Network

Alrighty! Sometime soon... 1-2 days, I'm thinking I'll have the majority of the functionality done between three scripts: Personal Settings, Message Center, and Profiles and need some help doing some extra thorough testing...

I may wait until I get the FAQ/Help script up, due to the necessity behind it... That, however, won't postpone this little test session too much.


Donators get automatic in's... However, I still want you to post what browser you're using in this topic.
Anyone else can request to be a part of this small group... dedication to testing the scripts is a requirement, as is good feedback and criticism. Sending someone 1 pm with the message center isn't going to help me at all. If you knowing how to break scripts with sql injection and such, state so, it is a big plus. Post your browser + version and whatever you think you can contribute to this group (I am not looking for a 2 page essay though).
I also want trustworthy people, as I still want this to be kept private for a little longer. Open testing will start soon though, so everyone else need not worry.

This group will start out small and grow as more scripts get completed.
There will most likely be a private forum to post feedback and such.

Mozilla 1.7.5.

Mozilla 1.7.5.

I hope I could get in on this , Since I was here when SeN first started, I will really like to see what this will turn into now. I think I could help on suggesting things for the site, Or giving alot of feedback.

Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 (ax)

I can test everything

Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Knows how to manage a website
Lots of HTML knowledge, few PHP

<sarcasm>Just gimme the SENv5 DLDB </sarcasm>

Browser: IE 6

Reason: I'm good at breaking things and figuring out why they broke. Plus it seems I'm the only IE user, and I have pretty good knowledge of SQL/PHP interaction.

IE 6
:I know some good HTML and some Java.:

Browser: Firefox 1.0.4
I also have IE 6, which I rarely use.

Reason: Did I even have to sign up?

Browser: IE6, or Firefox 1.0.4.

Reason: I can help out with problems I might see in the PHP scripts, HTML errors, any CSS problems (Doubt it)...and you know I'm trustworthy because I was looking at it before it was released in the first place. I wasn't the one who leaked it (I wasn't allowed to view it a little before the thread because somebody registered an account), just in case you might think that.

Also, I know how to make SQL injections. (Just reread the topic)

ADDITION:
Usually IE, because Firefox eats my images. But Firefox is still usable.

It got leaked? I know the Staff got to view it for some time, it was like a very early Pre-Alpha, but I never knew that it leaked...
When I could still view it you couldn't create an account...

I'm confused...

Yoshi told me about it when he first got the topic that said "wheres my avvy bizznitch?" or something like that. I was getting screenshots...then later I got the URL. He told me not to tell anyone, and even today I keep that promise.
One day, he asked me to register for testing. I made an account...but the validation code didn't work. So he was playing with it...then one day (Soon after), Yoshi told me some random person registered, and he changed the URL. So no one else knows it (Well, maybe staff).

Hehe, not to brag, but I even helped Yoshi decide the icon for remember me. (Mind Control).

Anyways, I thought you all knew...?

ADDITION:
I only keep mentioning that I didn't do it because all logic points at me.

We were allowed to see it until that random person registered.

We never really did anythign with the site except look around and try to figure out if anything worked, it didn't because we weren't registred. All of us probably lost interest and one day I saw that the page was unavailable so I thought to myself that someone had figured out the URL and IP or Yoshi had changed it. I never really asked why, I just thought that it was important security measure.
If I remember the URL correctly, it was really easy to guess what it was.



Nope, we just never asked and moved on



As I said, the URL was pretty easy to guess, with all the thousands of people that come to SEN, someone might start guessing and finally get it.



No one to my understanding knows it except IP and Yoshi. From what I've seen both in this thread and in Staff Forum, Moose doesn't either ebcause he doesn't have much more of a clue than the rest of us have.

It was three characters, not too hard. They probably moved it somewhere totally different, though. (Not staredit.net domain is my guess)
But the real question is...who knew of a SEN v5 to guess for? It's not like people just make random guesses at URL's for new versions of SEN.

EDIT: Bad idea, almost did something stupid.

Moose has access to it because he cheated and look for it on the ftp .

Yeah, I found out its right on http:/.... Oh. Yoshi doesn't want me to register though, so I don't really bother that much.

For good reason, actually. I usually would say don't visit it at all. I've had experience with this.

Sometimes I find critical bugs which corrupt things upon entering a page. I go "whew, lets not load this anymore and fix it up, no one should be doing anything with it now". Then some random person stumbles across the page because he's just "exploring what im doing" thus creating more problems for me.

At least when you aren't logged in, it removes about 85% chance of these occurances. The most critical areas require a user account.



Trust me. I'm doing a textbook tracker script for my school right now (computer science) and some random asswipe in our group keeps checking on things, clicking random things, and generally screwing around. He tells us things are wrong WHILE we're working on it.

Last week, he removed a textbook type from the database. Seems harmless, but we had not yet finished code to delete assossating textbooks, thus we kept getting null returns on left joins with textbook types, because it did not exist. That problem alone wasted an entire day of trying to find such a problem.

I can see where you're coming from, but where will the testers be actually deleting things on a forum? Disable deleting of anything, then let them test things. THEN let them delete things.

I'd suggest keeping a separate backup.

One is the backup that the users will have direct effects into it.
The other is a stand alone backup.

The first backup is the backup of us doing all our testing and such.
The second backup contains all the important scripts and thats it, it won't have any traces of the testers. This copy is jsut incase there is some bug in that code that could delete something important like some section of the MySQL database or anything or revelant importance.

Or just have a backup site/MySQL if it doesn't take too much space.

..Or manually back it up on your computer. Nice idea, BeeR.

Okay, well here's an update:
Small delay because I spent the last 24 hours redoing yoshi's crappy login/register script . I'm not exactly sure what's all going on with the conversion of usernames / passwords yet... I still have to research my shit.
I'm expecting to get everything ready for you to start off your tests in the next 12 hours with the very basics of senv5: registering a new account!
Probably boring, but whatever.
Message center should follow soon after, than usercp with profiles.

Um... everyone who posted here can be in this team . Yay!

Hey, let me test this v5 please.

krazy uve got to post ure browser /w version
and why u think u need to be in.

oh yeah, lol. I'll say that later on...

Comical. He was testing the registration...when...


I had to, IP.

Hooray I get to test!
