Can't manufacture bracelets

Postby AmateurHistorian » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:43 pm

Four of the items under the Bracelet heading on the Clothing menu won't start a project: glass bead bracelet, iron bracelet, silver bracelet, and embroided bracers. When I click any of them, I just go straight back to the Clothing menu.

Have you tried clicking on them again?
When you browse different clothing and press the back button in the browser instead of the "back arrow" in the game that sometimes happen.

I'm able to start projects for all of those. Are you sure you're not doing something wrong?

I should add this to the FAQ, because a lot of people ask about that.

Use the back arrow that is there, and then the next item you click will show up properly and you'll be able to start it. If you use the back button on your browser, it'll force you to reload the page on your next click. Why hasn't this been fixed yet? It's such an old problem =\

You're right, apparently that was the problem. When I used the page's back arrow button, everything worked fine. Sorry for the false alarm. :oops:

But yes, it would be nice if that could be fixed.

That's more a question of how your browser treats its own back button, and how it reacts to PHP-forms that are called with parameters that have already been cached. I am not aware of any possibility to solve this on our end with a reasonable amount of effort.

I thought of that possibility, but everyone seems to have it. Or at least, the majority of people. Every computer I've used, at school (IE 5.0, Netscape 3.0), at the Public Library (Oprah), and at home (IE 6.0, MSN Browser) have all had this happen, which also just makes me think more that it was server-side.

Although it's still possible that it is, or isn't, but there's got to be some way to fix it (Be it by Programming Department, of use of another browser/upgrading current browser) - There's a reason why it's doing that, and other pages don't, and I intend to find out! :)

Related to that, I've seen at least three different styles of "back button" so far: the triangle, the "back" text on the light green cloud, and just plain text saying something like "go back to the previous screen." Would be nice if the pages could be consistent.
