Wufoo Negative Forms
-
First off, Hello, my name is Stephen, I'm new to the forums be have been reading WTF for quite some time now.
Thought I'd share an error I came across today. It seems I have less forms that I initially thought. I only have 1 form in my account and it's a free account which gets 5 forms, so does this mean I actually get 8?
I'll be adding more Errors in the future :)
Cheers
Stephen

I don't know how you got 8 out of 5 and -2; but none the less TRWTF is they asterisk the user name field.
-
I've currently got 1 form and have -2 left out of 5. This make a total of 8 :)
The asterisks in the username field was just to hide my full name :D

//Compile me, I'm C #include <stdio.h> int main() { int num; num = 1 + (-2) + 5; printf("num = %d\n", num); return 0; }

Hahahaha, oh wow.
Here, I'll spell it out for you so that you don't mess up and embarrass yourself again:
He has one (1) real form already. His upper limit is five (5), and his current count is minus two (-2). This means that he has seven (7 = 5 - (-2)) empty slots into which forms can go. Seven available slots, plus his one already-existing form make a total of eight forms (8 = 7 + 1). Do you understand?
This is, of course, assuming that all forms have a weight of 1.

I'm confused too. If you have -2 forms left out of five, then you would have had -1 forms to begin with, since you've only used one. Do you mean that -2 is the number of forms you've already used, whereas the 1 is still active and thus doesn't count as used?
-
trwtf is this site's fricking AWFUL name and the fact that there's no T in it so I can't imagine it as someone pronouncing WTF as a word.
Perhaps if they changed the site's name to wutufoo it would be better.

You can have 5 forms.
Your current form count is -3
You create one form.
Your current form count is -2
Continuing this until your form count is 5 actually gets you 8 forms total.
Most counts start at 0, Wufoo apparently figures this is so conformist and instead starts counting at -3 because that is so 1337.
-
It could be that each form has a weight of -2. Therefore while his upper limit is 5, each added form will decrease the count by 2 and he will never reach the upper limit.
-
The Real WTF (TM) is that they're pretentious enough to have a quote at the top saying "To thine own self be true"...

Your current form count is -3You create one form.Your current form count is -2Continuing this until your form count is 5 actually gets you 8 forms total.Oh, I get it now. The "1" is the current form count, the "-2" is also the current form count, and the "5" is the maximum number of forms. Makes perfect sense.Seriously though, I can see how you'd get to 8, just not how you'd do it if you go by the nonsense GateKiller is spouting.
