Post any bugs you find here. But there aren't as many bugs that are really bugs and I don't already know about than when this first started, so also use this as a general conversation save, or to ask / tell me anything. #1 most commented save in tpt!

    Of course dropping databases is nowhere near as exciting. Though of course PHP's explode() and implode() functions rule over all :)

    Once I was using a program and it asked (when I was cleaning up the DB) "Are you sure you want to drop the table?" I took a screenshot and still have it :)

    DROP TABLE <table name> deletes (drops, DELETE is used for data inside tables) the table <table name>. Since "DROP TABlE" is something you could do, I made a pun. Feel free to laugh uncontrollably now.

    Atomic10: It's a SQL injection joke. If a website is poorly designed it won't escape quotes which can be used to wreak havoc in the database. In order to perform your own queries, you would write "); to terminate the site's query, then your own statement. Then you write -- at the end to tell the DBM "ignore the rest", else it would generate errors and your injection would fail.

    Atomic10: if it crashed when loading, then yes you found the bug. Also I think i'm getting my bugs confused, that bug only matters when loading the save itself. I'm not sure what the bug is that breaks the save list anymore is anymore ...

    jacob1: Invalid input as in... non-alphanumeric symbols? Kind of like the... Ahem cough illuminati cough cough... Ya know, like the "\163" things. Because... I made a save a while back with a symbol in a sign, and it kinda broke the save... :( When you open it, it rather crashes TPT (When you're on TPT) or just loads blank (When you're playing Jacob1's Mod). I really want to get that save back because it took me a lot of work to make... No insinuations here!

    Atomic10: yeah, i'm sure that would hurt, I suggest you stop dropping tables on your foot :)

    PortalPlayer: If I told you the bugs you might break tpt :P. But well ... the library we use to read saves likes to throw errors if you give it invalid input. And TPT accepts that invalid input in save titles apparently, or at least did years ago.

    PortalPlayer: TPTNET is a project made by Lockheedmartin. It's basically another version of TPT that is... Well... Different. It's also exclusive to some people. You have to get a key to it. I have one. Also, what in the world is "); DROP TABLE on foot; -- ouch

    They're resuming june/july! Also what bugs are you talking about? And pardon my ignorance (it's blissful), but what is tptnet? And why does my comepetition entry not count?!?!?!? :P It's very good.
