I'm having a problem with threadsuck. I'm trying to suck whole threads, and it ain't working. For example, I can suck the first 4159 posts of Spike's Bitches 11, but if I try to suck the first 4160 posts (or higher) the process just hangs. (IE gives me a technical difficulties error. Mozilla just sits there.) I used to be able to suck entire threads. Has something changed?
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
DX, I've been having that problem forever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe something implicit in the PHP upgrade. I've been having the problem since before then, but I've seen it mentioned more after then.

Yeah, I had it too. But I was lazy and didn't mention it.

The last time I sucked complete threads and saved them was late April.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
And that's what I think is key -- it's the poster's job to make it look like they want. It's our job to protect the innocent bystanding posts.
Seconding this. However, t a href='http://buffistas.org" does not get fixed, per se, with Tidy 1 (the board version), it merely gets contained. The unmatched delimeter gets converted to an entity. Like this: t a href='http://buffistas.org/"%3E'
Since we already have a better answer than that, I will put in a little post-tidy code to fix it up.
The most mangled html I came up with off the top my head was a busted font tag inside a broken anchor tag. The font tag was between the anchor's 'a' and its 'href'. All kinds of illegal. Tidy cleaned it up right nicely, moving the font outside the anchor and closing both tags real prettily. Impressive.

Does tidy have an option to strip Javascript? There's a number of nasty exploits you can do if you can embed Javascript in a post, and it would be nice to prevent them.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Do we even allow a t script tag? If so, it's easy to strip them out without tidy since we already do that with lots of other tags.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This may just be my browser, but starting here Jessica "Coffee On My Monitor" Oct 30, 2002 11:06:11 pm PST, there is a whitefont problem that goes on for a number of posts.
etbe more specific. Things go back to normal in post 656.

We only let a handful of tags through -- t script isn't one of them. Is there anywhere else it can be embedded?
