I getting "no match" messages on almost every red new post, or comment, that I click.
I'm finding that not everyone gets that [link] is only meant to show the URL of the post. One person told me he was expecting a dialogue box to appear showing how to link to a post from his page, or something, and didn't get that it was just so he could look at the address bar and see the URL. I can explain it in my FAQ, but would it make sense to use [url] instead of [link] for this feature? Even if someone doesn't know what a URL is, at least it's not creating expectations, because it's a noun instead of a noun/verb. The other alternative would be to keep [link] but actually have a page appear when you clicked it that said something like "The URL for this post is _________________. Feel free to copy and paste for use as a hyperlink."
Jim, is the Scooter bot back? Something's hitting the "log (but not you)" referer page pretty hard, going through the archive page by page, and I see Scooter listed in useragent. I remember you decided to zap it some point.
Lots of doubled posts today.
jim - my home page was screwy this am. pages missing and some new ones added. did anything change? not sure what i'm missing.
Hey Jim, I've forgotten how to post a picture along with a comment, can you remind me?
Hey, Jim, I just noticed that when I upload a picture it is listed twice under "complete list"--all the info (number, title, size, etc) is completely duplicated. This may mean each upload doubles the amount of bytes for each picture, I'm not sure. When I delete a file it deletes "both" files.
Often when I try to post it takes many minutes before I get a message that dmtree could not be contacted. Later I see that the post did go through. Anyone else having this problem? I've been using I E 5.2.1
I guess it's time to get Mozilla 1.1
Jim,
Logging in has been goofy since the last update. The system behaves differently depending on what computer I'm on. Currently it doesn't exactly recognize my cookie although it will let me access the index, from where I can view core then when I hit the home button viola, my settings appear. The good news is that I was able to do this through netscape on this computer.
Bring back the advanced search. As far as I can tell, the current version does not search comments.
OK, I'm in. I forgot that through mozilla I can log in. I am not able to log in when using netscape communicator or netscape 6 on any computer I have tried. It has been this way since your last overhaul of the site. I think i mentioned it to you awhile back but didn't pursue it since all works in Mozilla. I threw away the magic cookie as per your instructions and still no luck via netscape.
I haven't been outside today but so far it's nice to be back.
I know you've been busy, just a reminder that we had discussed a "leave selected comment/post as unread" function.
Me again. Can you add a "top_text" box to the "1-column page" editing template?
FYI, the "A" commands for colorizing links in the style sheet now picks up all A-type tags. I'm using A NAME tags all through the Doris Website and Weblog as targets, and had to change each one by hand because it was colorizing the headings.
The pic on email from NOLA doesn't show. Is it just my browser or is that the case for everyone?
Hanging comment on Artifax. I've forgotten how to deal with them. Or is that something Jim has to do?
The home page listed 4 comments under Tom Moody's page. I clicked on and was lead to the thread. I wanted to see the original post so that I could place the thread in context but didn't see the "top of this thread" option. Why is this option not available when going straight to comments? (or did I just overlook it?)
i think the homepage should have a search box. also not a fan of the CINEFILES under the picture on that page.
Jim, I tried switching my comment style to "straight comments." When I go to add a comment to my page, I get the "threaded-with-posting-box" style, but with only the first comment showing above the box.
I've noticed that all pages using the posting box for comments seem to eliminate threading--at least in terms of the indented text. That's OK with me: I actually prefer fat columns to progressively skinnier columns. In fact, I'll probably just choose the "threaded-with-posting-box" over "threaded" for that reason.
i seem to have lost the ability to have a preset post template for posting to dratfink. did you disable that capability? if so, can you reenable it if possible?
