#4 I think the link problem is fixed. Still got the problem with some, not all, comments not having dates.

#10 Hmmm... Minor change I made. But I can see the potential consequences. I'll fix it. But I hadn't updated the approved posters list for awhile...

#12 Should be fixed now. Let me know if it breaks something else.

#14 I'm thinking of having it hold all stories posted after 9 p.m. so they can be included in the next day's posts.

#17 Fred,
I submitted 2 articles about 1.5 hours ago. Did they make it to the holding tank? Thanks.

#18 I saw one a few minutes ago and published it. Did the other one make it, too?

#19 No. The second was an article link. In a few minutes I will try again.

#21 That was weird. I submitted 2 news links. The first I did not show up and I hope is in the holding tank. The second posted immediately (Page 2 Title: Locals Offer Insight Into Egypt Terrorist (He was such a nice boy, a little attached to mommy)).

#23 Tried to post a comment with name ''ed''. Preview was fine. Upon Submit got:
Error in query: SELECT * FROM TBLTWAR WHERE ID =. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

#24 Looks like you've managed to try to comment to an article without an ID... Do you recall which page you were on when it happened?

#25 This thread had the error. Started from home page http://rantburg.com, then went to this thread and comment. Got error. Also got errors on other threads.

This coeemt is being posted starting from Page 1 view.

#26 I am also running into the same error when going to a thread from the ''Latest Commented Articles:'' links and then posting a comment. Going to a thread from the Page 1,2,3 views and then posting seems to work.

#27 Okay. Found it, killed it... I hope.

#28 Hi, Fred. Thanks for all the work you do (most of which I don't understand).

The last couple of days I've noticed that my e-mail address doesn't show up when I click to make a comment, though my name does (the cookie is still there, in other words).

Of course, for this comment, the e-mail address showed up. :-( But it didn't for the last one.

#34 Hey Phil B... what time zone are you in?

BTW, the 'blogroll in the little window on the right now appears to have duplicated entries.

#37 All of them are. I was restoring some corrupt records and somehow duplicated the entire table...

#38 This happens when having one link/article open for commenting (comment window), and opening another link in a new window at the same time.

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/Default.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.


this happens when trying to submit the original comment, after receiving the above notice.

The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process.


OS WinXP Pro, browser IE6.something.

#39 I think (hope) that was when I was running a processor-gobbling query to weed out the dupes.

I think I'll leave the database alone for awhile. Maybe forever.
