Rantburg Tech Note -- Comments mostly working
2006-11-25
Fred's got the server hood open today, and it looks like the comments are currently spriraling into the Sea of Despond. I'm sure it will all be set right before too long. So go Christmas shopping or watch football or something, k? Unfortunately the WoT will still be here when comments are working again.

And by the way, "Preview" isn't working (it just hangs), and neither are the tags to get an image to show up!  :-)
Good luck!

"The hwndaitrten sngiarute was above his prnited name and in the same hawndrtiing in the mgarin was wtitren: "Make sure this is acmocsilphed,"" she told Srutaday's El Pias.

"The mhteods cinossted of miakng prsoiners santd for long pieords, sleep derpitaivon ... pyliang msiuc at flul vmloue, hniavg to sit in uncomfrtolbay ... Rfusmled aouhtzerid tsehe sceipfic tehncieuqs."

Posted by: Shipman   2006-11-25 16:13  

#27  Hmm, this will be interesting. A suggestion: lock-out background colors that belong to the mods (and colors that are close to mod colors). That way if you see pink salmon, you know it's me, etc.

Also, strike-through isn't an included option yet.

But this is working on a Mac and Opera.

Okay. I've switched them.
Keep in mind that the rich text version adds an unwanted carriage return that I can't seem to persuade to leave and that preview doesn't work.
On the other hand, it alsø gives you the opportunity turn the Burg into the most hideous site on the worldwide web by injudicious overuse of formatting.

Wondering what's new ...

Never meddle in the affairs of servers, for they are subtle and quick to core-dump.

Nope. Paragraph separation in Preview is still titzup...
Posted by: Dave D.   2006-11-25 12:07  

#8  Yep, it posted OK; but Preview was AFU.
Posted by: Dave D.   2006-11-25 12:03  

#7  Hmmm. Something seems to be wrong with the Preview function: it's putting everything into a single paragraph and ignoring line breaks.

This should appear on a separate line, with a blank line separating it from the above paragraph.

But preview puts it all into one block...

Posted by: Dave D.   2006-11-25 12:02  

#6  "is it harmful to ones health to have snark block?"

Absolutely! There are two equally-effective treatments:
1. Go to the bookstore, get yourself a copy of "Chicken Soup for the Rantburg Soul", boil it in some chicken broth, and chew on it, or...
2. Stalk Zenster and scream "genocide" every time he regurgitates his "kill-them-all" spew.

I advocate #2 since the book is hard to find and Zenster's sputtering response is always satisfying.
