Data not drawing?

[gmarster]

On occasion, I get very sparse, and sometimes even empty contract result pages. But when I highlight and paste the "text" it seems all there.

[Nate]

Can you be more specific? If you click on "blow-by-blow" does a bunch of text then show up? I'm not entirely sure what you are (or not seeing as the case may be). Also sometimes when you do a tavern contract there is no encounter so you just get a page that tells you nothing happened and you are presented with the search button. Is that maybe what you are seeing? I'm leaning more towards the first idea since i just did a cut and paste of a fight and it contained all the blow-by-blow details as well.

Thanks!

I guess both. I guess the no encounter are the empty ones, and the blow-by-blow does show whole minutes filled with both sides fumbling and missing, etc. So I guess it isn't a code bug, more of a highly improbably run of Three Stooges like slapstick fighting where no one gets hurt. You using the system generator or have a Mersenne Twister?

Yeah the bone-crushing highlights only shows the hits and if you want to dig into the gritty details you can view the blow-by-blow. System generator? Puh-lease! This isn't my first rodeo! ;)

LOL!!! What, your not seeding before every roll? Heh!
