I Sometimes Get It

From my PC - no idea why.

#1898 posted by metlslime on 2015/04/03 21:39:16

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.

So Do I

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 Tempted To Flag That As Spam ;)

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.)

Question That Is Answered Just By Asking It

#1904 posted by Primal (nli) on 2015/07/24 17:53:49

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?

#1905 posted by metlslime on 2015/07/24 18:06:48

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.

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?

There Is A Chance

#1913 posted by metlslime on 2015/08/03 17:36:20

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.

#1914 posted by Spirit on 2015/08/03 17:50:55

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

#1915 posted by metlslime on 2015/08/03 18:01:28

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

#1916 posted by Spirit on 2015/08/03 18:11:24

oh it works fine here, I misread you. Not sure what it is but for most sites "mobile friendly" is a synonym for "WE MAKE OUR TEXT REALLY BIG AND DISABLE ZOOMING OUT" so I was totally triggered by that suggestion.

#1917 posted by metlslime on 2015/08/03 18:42:46

ah, i get it now. Yes, that is highly irritating.

#1918 posted by necros on 2015/08/03 18:58:12

ahhh well, i don't have anything specific in mind, except making the links at the top easier to click, as well as the last 25, new, etc...

that would implicitly mean larger text though.

Agreed

#1919 posted by mwh on 2015/08/04 09:03:06

The only problem I have on my phone is hitting the links. Maybe justtext is a touch small, but not by much.

#1920 posted by mwh on 2015/08/04 09:03:28

Also I suck at typing

#1921 posted by necros on 2015/08/04 22:05:47

The body text is actually larger than the links :P
