DQG designer's thread (George): Official website back online

Okay I had a charming reply by email from George. He assures us that everything is alright and work loads simply led to the hosting service expiring without him being aware.

I invited him to share any clues about future design projects, including the hinted 26650 revision. I also asked about the statement from Banggood "never carrying the 18650 again", who he recognises as official distributers, and which stores are likely to get newest batches of his latest versions first.

Will post updates if he is forthcoming...

That’s great! Keep us posted.

Glad to hear that George is doing well, his designs are great. I am very interested in the headlamp, the new version of the 26650 is also intriguing.

My DQG Tiny III 18650 is my current favorite carry light, one of the things that makes it this is the fact I have NO desire to mod it. The levels are great, the UI works for me and the thing lives up to its name (TINY).

I had a Fairy, it was a jewel of a light, but I had no role for it, so I sold it. Still such a WOW factor light to turn it on and watch people go “OK”. Then crank it to the next level, and they go “WOW, that much light from something that small?

yes,DQG seems to be a real unique project/brand…i self LOVE his 18650 teenee…:)absolutly.
his new 3000 lumens project will be sure a revolutionaire…:slight_smile:
can wait to see his headlamp,but iam afraid,it will be all expensive…but,sure i will buy it…hahaha

i thought that their website is the btulight.com website!!!

Woohoo, fixed!

Good man! What tag did you use and how exactly did you identify it and insert it into the HTML?

I PM'd ToyKeeper as I remembered him fixing the same BOLD glitch ages ago over in the A6 Group-buy thread:

https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/31076?page=6#comment-770517

I tried looking back at the original comment that started the issue, and at ToyKeeper's fix above, both here and in the original thread. But I still couldn't identify the missing tag either by inspecting the page HTML source in the browser, or by quoting the comments and looking at the HTML in the WYSIWYG forum editor.

So I was just trying code I knew to close possible offending tags: </span></strong></span></h2>, etc. Regardless of what I added into the forums own comment editor (HTML or Text), it just removed/corrected the code removing my added tags.

ToyKeeper replied with his closing thought that "it really should be fixed in the forum software, not on a post-by-post basis", and I agree. Perhaps we can escalate this to the forum admin...

Many thanks for fixing the issue; please do share the steps you took to do so for the record.

Keep shining, Hirsh

I removed the bold formatting by typing: (angle bracket) /strong (angle bracket) in the simple text editor. I think the advanced text editor simply displays exactly what we type.

Ha, whatever you wrote originally in this reply was similarly not showing (obviously because it was seen as a tag) - thanks for editing so fast!

Yeah, that's the exact closing tag I tried first, but whenever I added it into the Forum's comment editor it automatically removed it. I'm using the Rich-text editor where you can press the 'HTML' button to see/edit the comment in HTML. I also tried in the standard editor. Always removed the closing tag when I pressed save...

Did you do anything special to insert it into the post?

Ah - got it. I'll try that next time if I come across it again.

Thanks again mate.

Whoops, I meant that the advanced text editor doesn’t do anything with HTML tags, it just makes them disappear. On the other hand, the simple editor seems to remove them and apply the text styling.

If you click on the quote button on the 10th post, you can see exactly what I typed because the text is preserved.

i want the DQG AA with netural white XP-G2

Is the CNqualitygoods.com down for good?

You're right, it just doesn't show that in the Advanced editor, or using the HTML code view - if the users prefs are set to use the 'Advanced editor' for comments.

This Advanced editor also prevents viewing the missing tags in the offending post, and fixing it by manually inserting 'rogue' unmatched closing tags into the HTML.

So I switched my prefs to test the 'Simple editor' and what do you know... It shows the tags and lets me add them manually.

Also lets me see the opening 'strong' tag and missing tag in the original offending post, which the Advanced editor does not - even in HTML view!

Problem solved and found out why some can fix and some can't. Many thanks.

:bigsmile:

the site is now called EDC-light.com!!!

EDC-Light is a fairly new site by Ric, who also runs CnQualityGoods ("CNQG"). As of tonight both sites are up, online and still trading separately.

CNQG an online Chinese retailer run by Ric, not to be confused with DQG a band of flashlight designed by George. There is also a flashlight brand called CQG (eg. CQG Bullet), which are not designed by George and may or may not be affiliated with CNQG. It just so happens that CNQG stock DQG and CQG flashlights. You still with me?!


Sometimes the prices are a little different between CnQualityGoods & EDC-Light, so it's worth checking both. And CNQG has a slightly lower than 'market' price for 'members' (aka simply registered users).

There was a 20% discount code given to new sign-ups on EDC-Light a couple of months back when it first opened, but I think he has stopped doing that now.

Also, Ric is on these forums, although he is often painfully slow at responding. He is nonetheless very friendly, professional and helpful. It is worth dropping him a PM @ http://budgetlightforum.com/user/406 and/or email to ThomasRic <cnqualitygoods@hotmail.com>.

Perhaps kindly request a code for whatever light you're after and I'm sure he will consider some offer or deal.

Good luck,

Hirsh
