Title: A ridiculous major site bug found and fixed!
Post by SolidSnake on 9th Sep, 2013 at 7:03pm
Thanks to a friend, that spotted the issue, I've noticed and fixed a major bug in the Contact Form.
With the click of the submit button a function was called that saves the message and sends it to me.
However the file that contained that function was by my mistake left in a password protected directory
since the testing phase and I forgot to move that out of there. So, it was requesting for a password
whenever someone was trying to leave a message.

The worst thing is that it never came up to me because chrome had saved the login details and never
popped me the question to insert them ever.. it just logged me in automatically so I never faced the issue
when I was testing it. It sucks when I think of how many people might have tried to contact me and it
prevented them from succeeding..  :'(

It was a major let down from me and I'm deeply sorry to everyone who tried to use the contact form so far and failed.
Now it's working as it should so feel free to use it from now on..

Let's hope there won't be any more such epic failing bugs..  [smiley=sad.gif]
