i'm viewing it as ISO-8859-1. Sounds like i need to explicitly set the encoding in the html. 

It randomly works sometimes. This might be related to some other bug I encounter sometimes: The font sizes get smaller, most often after I posted something.

But all my posts made from the sbz office have 127.255.255.255 as IP. It happens to other people as well I see. (Starbuck's last post in the film thread)
I can't imagine how any network settings would be able to spoof an IP like that, so I'm guessing something mysterious is afoot. 

What the hell... 

 

 

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /home/johnfitz/sites/www.celephais.net/board/_database.php on line 9

Im guessing the site was just busy? 

hmm, yeah i guess so. I'm not sure if the connection limit is per-database or for the entire domain, so we might be competing with the cube forums or something. 

Could we get a spoiler tag that makes the text inside color #333333? 

 

Post #18 on the Slave thread, I was using my friends laptop through a USB wire-less modem.
Gave one of those weird IPs people were talking about; 127.255.255.255

How exciting! 

thanks for the extra info. I wonder if it's a PHP bug or maybe this is a "feature" of some routers. 

I mean, if you think the other end of the socket is connected to the IP address 127.255.255.255, you'll have a hard time sending a web page to them... 

This seems relevant:

hello 

Posting from Windows XP now. Firefox 3.0b4.
And got the 127.255.255.255.
No proxy for sure. But a router (like always).

now from ie7 

firefox again 

metl, you are to blame. 

good leads, i'll check this stuff out when i get a chance. 

I changed the IP fields from ints to unsigned ints... which is weird because i'm fairly certain they WERE unsigned, but all the server migrations and upgrades in the past few years might have done something to it.

Anyway, someone who was able to generate the 127.255.255.255 address before, please try again and see if it still happens. 

 

i just noticed, some people in the thread above are now 0.0.0.0

but at least CZG is legit now. 

so that wasn't the right fix, ip2long and long2ip are supposed to use signed ints. I have reverted the changes, fixing the 0.0.0.0 problem.

I still can't tell what's wrong, but at least old data from the database is coming out and displaying correctly, but new data going in is getting IPs >= 128.0.0.0 turned into 127.255.255.255. The change coincides with the latest server move. So maybe it's a PHP or mySQL version issue.
