| #72 I hate it when that happens. See you tomorrow, if there's anything left here then. |

| #71 OH DRAT. My power cord just broke on the laptop. I *really* have to go now. TTYL. |

| #70 I've cleaned up as much of the damage I did today as I could find. But it looks like some pages are still producing comments without dates. I've got to track that down. The plane's okay, maybe a few bears, but NO CATS! |

| #69 Autospellchecker failure....heh heh. did not reload my name and email address for next comment. |

| #68 Thanks for posting the image of my little aluminium bird at the club, Fred. Next will be a holographic fly-thru. [prieview worked, now I will hit submit query] |
| Posted by: Alaska Paul 2005-05-02 22:23 |
| #67 Given all the other bugs that have crawled out today, I suspect it's something included in the PHP version... |

| #66 Look, I'll send some money via Paypal when I get paid in full for last week. Which should be sometime next week. (I'd link to that image myself, but everything gets screwed up.) Since I haven't used this browser much on this machine, it may be a problem _here_. I can double-check everything on my NORMAL machine tomorrow during lunch at work. (Another fact that makes me want to link to the above image). |

| #65 Worked normally for me, using single quotes. But I notice some times are coming through as zeroes. Doesn't look like I'm going to do much posting tonight. |

| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 22:17 |
| #63 They came through as two pairs of single quotes. |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 22:15 |
| #62 Two single quotes at the start, and two single quotes at the end? (are you saying that's what I should do, or what it looks like I did do? they were plain double quotes when they left here). |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 22:13 |
| #61 You put two single quotes in to delineate the url, instead of either a single quote or a double quote. |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 22:11 |
| #60 OK... so I'm doing images wrong. Or something. It's 9:17 and I haven't eaten yet. Fred, if you want me to try anything else, mail me or page me in the o-club... |

| #55 Well, that's a good thing. Preview is now a popup you can use before hitting submit. I think I might leave it that way, if this interation works. |

| #52 (Sorry. Went to Rand's site to check out the Space Access news, since I wasn't able to make it this year). Anyway, what happened was that cookies didn't work *that* time. I'm on Camino now, and I'll try two posts to see if cookies work this time. |

| #48 One last piece moved in before I rebuild the preview page... |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 21:21 |
| #47 I moved the setcookie routine to the write page... |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 21:18 |
| #46 and that didn't work. OH, I just saw Fred's message. Thank you for fixing this... |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 21:17 |
| #45 And it didn't work. Switching to ''ME LIKE COOKIE'' mode and retyping my name and website... |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 21:15 |
| #44 Cookie's issued by the preview page. I have to move it to the write page. |

| #43 OK, this comment (and the following one) will be used to check whether rantburg will remember my identity in Mo' Zilla. I have cookies set to ''originating site only.'' Here we go... |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 21:14 |
| #42 No, it didn't. I had to type it in again. I think the bug's on this end, though. I think I'll download vanilla mozilla and see what happens with _it_. (Could it be the cookie for the ident is issued somewhere in the preview page?) (Irony: Pink Floyd's ''Brain Damage'' is playing on my computer now. Just remember, there is no dark side of .php... it's all dark! |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 21:06 |
| #41 That last one wasn't a php bug... I hit enter early. I'm not used to this browser. Cookies are set on full bore no-restrictions now. Let's see if it remembers my name this time... |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 21:04 |
| #40 I can see your name. What happened to your text? |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 21:03 |
| #39 I think I'll just redo the preview function to take it out of the sequence. It'll be simpler that way, anywhich. |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 21:02 |
| #38 Both worked, and no blank posts. How y'doin', Phil? Are you yerself again? |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 21:01 |
| #37 It kinda grinds to a halt without cookies. Single quotes: 'Here are single quotes.' Double quotes: ''Here are double quotes.'' |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 21:01 |
| #36 I had to turn off the redirect for a moment. Found that little bug... |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 20:59 |
| #35 DUH! It would help, I suppose, if I had cookies enabled in Safari. (Done.) - pgf |

| #34 Soon as I track down the bug... A second try at that one... |

| #33 When I submitted that comment, I wound up with a blank browser window. |

| #32 Soon as I track down the bug... |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 20:56 |
| #31 Well, could you switch it back? I now have Safari open, and it would be useful, I suspect, to see if this is a firefox-on-macos-only bug. - pgf |
| Posted by: Hupeash Chaling3986 2005-05-02 20:55 |
| #30 The blank appears to be associated with an error message. Note the time is missing, too... |

| #26 I'm trying to figure that right now... |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 20:44 |
| #25 And I'm still getting strange blank repeat comments after the initial ones. I am using Firefox 1.0 on MacOS 10.3. (I might go try safari in a sec). |

| #24 Test entry... |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 20:43 |
| #23 Em, I put up the snippet of html (which I more-or-less customize as I go along, depending on what background or foreground color I want to use... in the latter case, I also add a font thingey...) over in the O-club. |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 20:41 |
| #22 Nice legs, Phil. It's easier to walk in those if you turn your toes in just a little bit. Much better. Now how do you do that color quote thing? Melike! |

| Posted by: Fred 2005-05-02 20:15 |
| #17 This appears to control the problem, which I'm guessing lies on the PHP version of the preview page. I'm going to leave things this way, while I build an off-line toy to preview stuff and then somehow get it saved. We're writing the comments now in PHP, previewing in ASP, then writing in PHP. I'm so confused... Sorry for all the mess and inconvenience. |

| #13 Fred, looks like an empty comment is being inserted into the database following each valid one. I'm cleaning them up in the other comment threads just to keep things readable, but leaving them here for you to look at when you get back. |

| #10 Fred, do I need to be on the .asp pages, or the .php one? I'm in .asp right now. |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 19:29 |
| #9 Curiously, the ''quotes'' work in the O Club routine, but not here. I'd guess it has something to do with the fact that it's previewing data posted on another page. ASP doesn't gag on it, but PHP does... |
| Posted by: Fred as himself 2005-05-02 19:19 |
| #8 Seems like it, .com. Although you notice the not-real blank comments don't have a ''comment'' link available? |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 19:12 |
| #7 PHP got your tongue? |
| Posted by: .com 2005-05-02 19:11 |
| #6 It seems to show two ''comments'' for each comment I try to make, as well. |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 19:11 |
| #5 Ooh, each one of those it was showing an error message instead of showing that the message had been posted. |
| Posted by: Phil Fraering 2005-05-02 19:10 |
| #4 And it appended '' h t t p : / / '' to my website that time. I wonder what will happen now. |

| #3 And it appended ''http://'' to my website that time. I wonder what will happen now. |
