BibBase is really slow today
Hi,
I've been testing a new website over the last couple of weeks and BibBase seemed to be the best option, but today - when it went live, of course - I'm finding it's really slow to load (~20 seconds).
This is not acceptable as most visitors won't wait that long.
Is this a problem of capacity or something?

Thanks for pointing this out, Chris. I believe I was able to fix it.
If this is the page in question, then I think it is much faster again: http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/user/ccole/refs.html.
If that's no the one and it is still slow, please point me to your page for testing.
Thanks.

Author initials in reverse order
Embedding using the iframe approach, the bibtex author field is parsed incorrectly so that for example
author={Bradley, A S}
becomes
Bradley; S A
author={Bradley, A S}
becomes
Bradley; S A

Accents parsing
Hi and thank you for your amazing work. I have a problem, but I'm not understanding whether I'm doing something wrong myself or not.
None of the accents in my bib are visualizing correctly with bibbase.
http://www.bibbase.org/show?bib=http://iridia.ulb....
Example: Decugni\`ere -> DecugniÌ€ere instead of Decugnière
I also notice weird characters also where I do not use special commands. What can I be doing wrong? Latex generates perfect documents using that bibtex file.
Thanks for the help!

Authors' names are clickable links
Some authors' names are clickable links and some are not. How can I ask bibbase to either do clickable links for all the authors or for none of them?

Oleg, bibbase turns author names into links for all those authors who also use bibbase. I've noticed on your page that some of your coauthors who get linked don't actually use bibbase, but that bibbase currently incorrectly guesses the owners of some pages they link to. I'll look into that because it shouldn't happen.
More generally though it is not possible to suppress those links. If and when it is working correctly, I consider it a feature that bibbase automatically keeps track of the current page of your coauthors. Many authors like to keep a list of their collaborators and this is a feature that offers that with no effort on the author's side.

Users shouldn't be taken away from the current page to the bibbase page
When clicking on a publication, users shouldn't be taken away from the current page to the bibbase page. It is very confusing and they often don't know how to get back.This is especially true if they click on the bibbase logo. There is no visual indication that they are going somewhere else. They see "sign in" and other confusing information.

Abstracts not properly escaped in BibBase v3
If the abstract contains an apostrophe (') the generated abstract link is incorrect and does not work properly; for example:
<a class="bibbase_abstract_link" href="javascript:showAbstract('... the platform's hardware concurrency management and latency tolerance....')">Abstract</a>
<a class="bibbase_abstract_link" href="javascript:showAbstract('... the platform's hardware concurrency management and latency tolerance....')">Abstract</a>
The string delimiter in the abstract text should be escaped.

Hi Raphael,
Thanks for reporting this bug. It's fixed now. Unfortunately, I can't seem to force your page to reload though. I suspect the php proxy is caching the old version. So I can't test it on your page.

accept one-off fees for faster processing, longer files
(this is half idea, half praise).
I love this service so much -- it's a godsend, especially, if like me, you're getting off of Mendeley and back to basic BibDesk/Bibtex/Github.
I like BibBase so much, I'd be willing to pay for it (preferably one-off? or a donation?), maybe in return for faster processing and/or acceptance of longer files.
I use BibBase a lot for class reading lists, and would also like to have a "I read recently listing" from my entire 4MB file, but I noticed that such long files don't fare well.
(or maybe this isn't even possible in terms of architecture?)

Is bibbase down right now? And if so, does this happen frequently?
my webpage does not show the bibbase literature list...

Sorry, there was a technical glitch. It's fixed now.
No, this does not happen frequently and I'm working on reducing outages like this to zero.

Hi Pierre,
Yes, I've just released a new version of BibBase on a new server and that file is no obsolete and gone. I've updated the help page now. Please use http://bibbase.org/css/styles/default.css instead, which is the default css for the new version.
Thanks,
Christian

Https not allowed
I'd suggest to make clear in the instruction that https is not allowed in the address of the .bib file. This may be relevant because many people may try to use Dropbox or similar services to put their .bib file online, and this wouldn't work (or at least it didn't work for me). In short: emphasize that the address must start with "http" only (if this is the case). Many thanks for your work.
