Buffistas Building a Better Board
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
What I would really like to do, right now, is collect the thousand or so messages that collected in the Buffy thread before I finished my tape last night, and download them into my Palm (which doesn't do HTML) to read on the train. I can skip in Natter, but I really want to read the fresh show talk. Is there a way to do this?
I just got the following error hitting "read new"
It seemed to have problems with line 69 of giles!?!

Received a fatal error when I tried to post. I had begun a post when I needed to run to school and pick up kid. I got back 45 minutes later, finished my thought and hit post. Got error. Went back to thread, finished reading the new messages (2) and posted with no problem. Didn’t think to copy error, but it was the Fatal Error, don’t worry, etc one. This was about 5 minutes ago.
I've had this happen to, also after long delays in actually posting. It seems as if there is an expiration date on the posting box.
I added a link to Natter 2 to the last post in Natter 1.
Hrm, did we ever figure out a way to add a link to the BuffistaCorp cafepress site?
From where?
Don't know how long you spent composing before posting. But if there is no activity, your login expires after 30 minutes. That is not a bug, and not something that can be worked around since it is set at the server level. (Actually it could be worked around by using regular cookies rather than session variable; then you could control the timeout. Since this would basically mean completely rewriting secuity, I doubt there would ever be a reason to do this. This is one of those things that sometimes gets me in trouble. I make a statement, then realize it is not strictly true because of an exception - and point out the exception to just for completenesses sake. )
CaBil, there's one in the header of the BuffistaCorp thread. There might also be one in links. Where else are you thinking of?
