[Missing quote/tag] Dossier page

[Lamebrainia]

Good day, everyone.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dossier

"Add <region>

There's no closing quotation mark, and the less than and greater than symbols look like a chunk of html came out.
I don't remember this being the case, can I blame it on the server having moved to https?

My dossier page looks fine. Have you tried a hard refresh?

If that persists, please provide us with a screenshot. Additionally, your browser and OS would be useful for additional troubleshooting to see if the issue can be replicated.

Maybe they mean the missing " in the second line here:

Code: Select all


You have no nations in your Dossier. To add a nation, view it and click the "Add <nation> to your Dossier" button at the bottom of its description.

You have no regions in your Dossier. To add a region, view it and click the "Add <region> to your Dossier button at the bottom of its description.

Yes, a hard refresh was the first thing I've tried.

That's exactly what we mean, thank you.

Oh, that "<region>" bit is what you mean? That's not a bug. It's a shorthand way of saying "INSERT REGION NAME HERE". I've seen it and its variants many times. If you notice, the message is telling you how to add a region to your dossier, so it needs some placeholder for the region name that will appear when you actually follow the directions.

Well, I've specifically called it "missing quote/tag", not a "bug". And there definitely is a quotation mark missing there, I've just put in the word "tag" in case the missing quote was produced by a bit of code missing, which is oftentimes the case. Take a look at the screenshot.

I saw it. I know that you were reporting the missing quotation mark, and I know that it was a bug. But you seemed to think that "<region>" was a mistake too, so I thought I'd clear that up. I'm glad that this has been fixed.
