Character Bios gone?

[patteroast]

Why are character bios no longer showing up? Characters who have bios, which show up on the Info tab on Glycerine, and were on their profile pages on the site BEFORE... are now blank.  ???

That was probably just an overlooked item, SuckerPunch literally re-coded the Tracker tool from the ground up and in about 3 days if I'm right, 1 week after it was release... but it just might have been overlooked.

That's one thing I couldn't test....as none of my Characters have Bios.... :'(.

I know, I know...I'm ashamed of myself for that. :(

Not sure if this is actually a problem with both the site and the tracker
I have tried with both HS 4440 and Glyc 0130 and 0133

With, Glyc 0133 it correctly picks up and displays the Bio, however it appears its not being sent  (or at least i cannot find it in the messages beng sent on a login with Fiddler...

On the other hand, HS does pick up AND send the Bio, and it is updated in the Site.. However, once i switch back to Glycerine, the Bio gets erased.

My take is that Glyc is possibly sending an empty string, and the Site is accepting it and resetting the Bio to that empty string.. would likly need a fix in both sides - tracker to correctly send the Bio, Site to not reset the Bio if it receives an empty string...

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Ice

Well, I can't really stop the server-side script from updating a blank bio.  A player could legitimately delete their bio.

heh . got me on that. you're totally right.  ;D
guess only the Glyc part is due then...
