That's good to hear Computator.

I regret to say that I've found another bug.  This one has to do with the search engine.  I recently searched for The Punisher and in fact downloaded two versions of it (one yesterday and one today.)  However, on both days if I searched for The Punisher, but didn't select which mod I wanted to see a description of but instead just pressed the Enter key (which should lead to a list of all The Punisher related mods), I instead got this:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: 8192

Message: strtolower(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated

Filename: models/m_search.php

Line Number: 116

A PHP Error was encountered

Message: strtolower(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated

Filename: models/m_search.php

Line Number: 116

I think it would be wise to look into this particular bug right away, but I suspect it occurs any time a search is done and someone just presses Enter (and that it happens with ALL mods, not just The Punisher mods.)

Of course, I'm assuming that the search engine on the beta website is supposed to react the same way as on the current website.  But despite that, an error message should not be showing up obviously.

Have a nice night!

To the "management":

I've found another bug.  I was scrolling down with the down arrow key while looking for a Coach replacement when almost immediately this message showed up:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

Message: Undefined variable $game_id

Filename: pages/layout_sidebar.php

Line Number: 554

You know, on an unrelated manner l4dkk has so many mods it is basically impossible now to find anything that's a character replacement (unless it was a "Only..." mod by l4dkk), because it takes so long to scroll past their "work."  Perhaps having page numbers, which existed in the past and made it easier to skip to older mods, was a better way to go after all.  It may not be elegant, but it worked.

I finally gave up on looking because it was taking so long- I'll bet this person has THOUSANDS of mods on this website!  This it seems to me, is problematic in terms of other authors getting any attention for their work.  And if modders don't get attention they quit.  And if people thinking about becoming modders feel they wouldn't get any takers, why do it?

Have a nice night everyone!

@AlfredENeuman:
After reading your report about your difficulty in finding mods, somehow I got some ideas about suggestions for the search feature. It's about "Sort based on author/ publisher". I haven't checked about the advanced search feature on this site yet as I usually use quick search feature instead to search specified mods/ maps that I know the name or at least I have the gist of the name, so I don't know if "Sort by author/ publisher" is already implemented here or not. But if it's not implemented yet, probably implementing this sort feature would be able to help your problem in searching mod. It can also help skip certain authors/ publishers in case if members wish to skip tons of piled mods by the same author/ publisher at once. Probably we should wait for admin's & staff's response for this, & actually I also wish to be able to sort the search result by the author though, to save more time in searching certain author's mods.

kurochama, that's a fine idea.

Perhaps for example, if it were possible to make sure a title doesn't have the word "Only" because I could add -only at the end a search for "coach model" for example that might work great.  I would eliminate l4dkk's incredible number of "Only..." mods.
