| Minor changes to comments... | |
| 2005-05-02 | |
I've replaced the ASP comments page with a PHP version. You may see a few error messages until it's thoroughly debugged. Within a day or so I hope to have the main part of the site independent of ASP. If I've missed any places where the ASP page is called, let me know.

| #92 Use it and enjoy. I don't think any of the bugs left are show stoppers. I don't think they are... |

| #91 I think we're supposed to wait until the last bug is exterminated, then say, gee Fred, I liked the old site better. ;-) |

| #90 Works great so far, Fred. Reinsert torn hair, cancel the panic. |

| #87 Correction. It retained the cookie with my website, but it didn't put it in the comment. |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 22:08 |
| #86 But you're right. It did forget my website. After all this mess, that's a minor problem. |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 22:01 |
| #85 I think you tried that as I was writing it. The ugly thing should work now. Whether it'll stay working or not, I dunno. I think the Pentium gods are cheesed at me. |

| #83 Gee, Fred, what did you do to get the Computer Gremlins angry with you? DO you want me to burn some sassafrass root and bear grease (on a bolluxed hard drive) to drive them away? |

| #80 Sorry for multiple posts elsewhere. Did not know that despite error message, it posts, with another blank post. Fred, you must be tearing your hair in patches. I think it is a woodoo to do this stuff on windoze box. |

| #74 grr.. there's another (and no doubt another right after this one) Firefox 1.0.3 on WinXP here, if that matters one way or another. Also, the ''Website'' field is NOT being remembered, but the ''Your Name'' field is being consistently remembered. |

| #73 Here's a comment with Safari imitating MSIE v6. By the way, the e-mail line remains blank even though I filled it in. |

| #72 I managed to leave 1 multiple post, an ''oops'' and then 3 blank posts (one per populated post) in the Blair/Brown thread. My apologies all 'round. I wish I could just edit/delete my own mess, but I can't. AAR: 1. I saw the error message the first time and figured I'd better try again: ''maybe if I take out the carriage return and make the email address non-null.'' 2. Same set of error messages. 3. Left an ''oopsie'' meaning to be a call for cleanup on aisles 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. (2, 4 and 6 being blank posts... not sure why those are there.) |

| #67 Dave, the apostrophe (single quote beneath the double quotes - i.e. lower case on same key) works okay for me. Whew! |

| #36 Do not use double quotes - it truncates the post, as you see in num 31, above. The number sign may cause issues, too. The SQL is kicking this poast back to me. Sheesh! |
