The switch from Apache to Lighttpd took place last night. I don't know about whether people stopped using the box coincidentally, but I do know that total bandwidth use has increased. Average upstream for the server right now is about 520kbps. This is significantly more than our total maximum upstream was on the old connection. Edited by Wesley R.

I've been having problems logging in. When I come to the main page, it frequently says I'm logged in, but when I go to, say, ATBC it tells me I am not logged in and I am not allowed to make replies. I've tried logging in, it goes through the procedure and welcomes me, showing my name amongst the list of people logged in, but apparently logs me out when I try to do anything. The problem happens with Netscape and Firefox and I've tried various things like rebooting the computer with no effect. Any suggestions for what is going wrong? -------------- All sweeping statements are wrong.

Henry J Posts: 5786 Joined: Mar. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 23 2007,11:09    What happened with the "recent comment" box on the main PT page? Did somebody get tired of it being swamped by the "nothing's word doing" spam pests? Henry

Henry J Posts: 5786 Joined: Mar. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 23 2007,13:52    Update: the "recent comment" box on PT is working now.

I've been trying to PM you for a couple of days, any hope of a wee gap to slot a message into please? Louis -------------- Bye.

It says "The requested URL /origins/postmonth/oct06.html was not found on this server." (Also the link was never added to the page "Posts of the Month for 2006") Henry

You can check the box if you want them, but the box is unchecked by default. The TOA pages were restored from a mid-November backup that apparently refers to a POTM that wasn't actually in that backup. We'll be fixing that by and by. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

Henry J Posts: 5786 Joined: Mar. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 25 2007,14:48    Wonder if that Sten31846 guy and his/her/its/their relatives could be banned from PT, or do he/she/it/they change IP addresses too often to make that practical?

Henry J Posts: 5786 Joined: Mar. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 30 2007,17:01    That Sten#### guy is at it again on several older PT threads.

Ichthyic Posts: 3325 Joined: May 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 30 2007,21:36    henry- those messages are just place markers; tests to see if the spambot can make it through ok. sites are then marked in their database as acceptable targets for spam. fortunately, it seems that the filtering software on PT is at least sufficient to prevent the followup spam messages from posting. -------------- "And the sea will grant each man new hope..." -CC

A little snark will be allowed. We're a snarky lot, so things like "check out this new blog by Casey Luskin, what a dork" will be permitted, but that's about it. If you have to be mean or rude, put it on the Bathroom Wall. The Bathroom Wall is the place to scrawl all your obscenities and dirty limericks, and it won't be moderated like the rest of the board. Ah bu.. but  ;) obscenities are allowed, right?!?  ???  Oh phooey! *scampers off to the Bathroom*

You must enter a URL You must enter a title Anyone else getting this?  Anyone have any ideas what to do to fix it?  Thanks all.

Ichthyic Posts: 3325 Joined: May 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 24 2007,18:23    look to see if you get a little yellow bar towards the top of the page (in your browser) when you click on the link or image button. In mine it says: Quote This website is using a scripted window to ask you for information... click on that bar, and then the option to allow scripted windows.   You can also change the default setting in your browser; instructions vary on the type of browser, of course, though I would recommend just leaving it where it is and utilizing the "allow temporary scripted windows" bar. -------------- "And the sea will grant each man new hope..." -CC

GCT Posts: 1001 Joined: Aug. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 24 2007,18:30    Yeah, that did the trick. That's weird.  I had no problem with it until just recently.  I'll have to figure out what changed on my browser.  Anyway, thanks fishy.
