I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

just sos you know, my log-in was switched over again just now. Should I just log out and stay off the board until this is resolved?

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

To the same name?

Do you have "remember me" selected? If so, uncheck it, come back here and say so, and then log off. I wanna poke something in the DB.

I'll post here when you can log back in and re-select to be remembered.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The board is loading reeeeeeeeeeeeallllllllllllllllly slooooooooooooowly for me this morning. Are we having problems?

No other Web sites (as of yet) are loading slowly, FTR.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It's working snappily for me.

There's bugs when someone tries to register with certain punctuation in their user name. Two things I've seen recently:

  • An apostrophe -- The validation URL doesn't work. I'm sure there are other delimiting problems.

  • A comma -- the confirmation email gets messed up as it gets divided into two addresses. For instance, if someone at email address joe@shmoe.com registers with the user name "Joe, Ruler of Shmoeville", the confirmation email address gets parsed as "Joe, Ruler of Shmoeville <joe@shmoe.com>", which incorrectly gets split into two addresses. It still works, but it's awkward.

We could try to patch each situation to avoid problems, or we could code to disallow certain punctuation in user names. I'd suggest the latter.

I like the latter too, Jon. I'll get on it.

How goes the prettification of the quote pages?
