if you type c:\test, then hit preview, it gets turned into c:test
But if you just post, seems that no slashes are stripped 

What is error message #42? 

that means your IP address changed between viewing a thread and then posting a comment to it. Which a long time ago i assumed would only happen with spambots caching forms and resubmitting later, but i think nowadays happens if you are on a mobile phone and you switch networks (3G to wifi for example) 

From my PC - no idea why. 

some sort of proxy or DHCP thing maybe?

I can probably remove those error checks anyway, since it doesn't seem to be stopping spam. (of course maybe it is stopping some of it and we just don't know it.) 

Oh.

I typed a reply, closed my laptop, drove to work, opened it again and thought "oh" and tried to post it.

Makes sense!

No idea what ijed's doing. i blame south american internet. 

Since chrome gets steadily worse with each update, it now no longer recovers the posts if I press back :[ 

just added a hack to block the current wave of spams in general abuse thread. Testing to make sure anonymous posting still works :) 

 

so it seemed to work, i haven't seen a new spam by the same person since.

The thing i just realized though, is that spam countermeasures that block posting don't leave any sort of record, so i can't even say how much they are working. I should probably have some way to log failed spam attempts so that i can see how much is NOT getting through the gate (vs. they stopped trying.) 

I couldn't find anywhere where it says what time zone the timestamps in the posts are. I'll find it out by making a post and looking at what time it shows, so there isn't really a help question here.

Perhaps you could add the info about the timestamps to the FAQ though? 

they are the local time of the server, which is in germany.

However, i keep meaning to allow users to specify their own timezone and see the timestamps in that time zone instead.

dawwww 

ok my user profile is definitely a bit buggy, just registered this with name four times the http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2764/index.htm 

http://celephais.net/board/people.php

Here it shows up:) 

be careful with all these experiments, i can mark u as a spammer and u'll have troubles accessing site... 

Any chance of making this more mobile friendly? 

Long ago i set the "device width" so that it fills the iphone screen properly, but haven't made any other changes. In my experience the main issue is links that are too small to click easily. I will eventually get to it, probably as part of converting the site to pure CSS instead of the table-based dinosaur it is now. 

Please don't force a width, it is nice to be able to zoom the text to a comfortable size. Browsers can reflow... 

it's already zoomable. Or is that broken in specific browsers or devices?
