Using 'Preview' can sometimes mangle long urls it seems?

for example:
http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=61182&start=5

I pasted the same url for all 3 posts, but used 'preview' for the first 2 and my url got trashed.

Ah, I Know This One

Ok, so when you preview, your post is getting output into the html without any escaping. Because your url included & followed by the word "quote", the browser parses that as the html entity for a quote, breaking the post.

Sounds Legit

Does The Password Recovery Work?

#1880 posted by primal on 2015/02/16 08:29:10

I forgot my password, and tried to recover it. Does the recovery form work? I didn't appear to receive any e-mail in the address I've set for my account, and yes, I did check the spam folder.

It turned out I had stored my password in my pw database, so I didn't need to recover it after all. So I'm OK.

ust asking admins to check whether the thing is operational. (It could be just that it takes a while to send the mail too. In which case you should say that on the login page, I guess.)

Tried It

#1881 posted by SleepwalkR on 2015/02/16 09:29:04

Didn't receive an email either. I'll check whether it's a server problem.

looks like a case of using $REQUEST_METHOD instead of $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']

fixed

Why Am I Seeing

A 'trust rating' popup along the bottom of the forum now?

I'm guessing its some BS from somewhere else since AdBlock allows me to disable it, and describes it as an ad.

Celephais is 96% trustworthy. I'm glad I know that. J_J

Lenovod?

Check your addons or restore from an earlier backup

Yeah

I installed a dodgy mp4/avi converter that shit all over my hard drive :P

#1888 posted by Spirit on 2015/02/22 17:02:32

Might be worth having a Linux install/vm around just for the luxury of ffmpeg.

I Keep Getting Tempted

To finally sack windows.

No way I'll be 'upgrading' to Metro, that's for sure.

This breaks something:

replace [] with <>
gives

Slashes

#1891 posted by ericw on 2015/03/04 21:51:27

if you type c:\test, then hit preview, it gets turned into c:test
But if you just post, seems that no slashes are stripped

What is error message #42?

#1896 posted by metlslime on 2015/04/03 18:50:18

that means your IP address changed between viewing a thread and then posting a comment to it. Which a long time ago i assumed would only happen with spambots caching forms and resubmitting later, but i think nowadays happens if you are on a mobile phone and you switch networks (3G to wifi for example)

I Sometimes Get It

#1897 posted by ijed on 2015/04/03 21:19:54

From my PC - no idea why.

#1898 posted by metlslime on 2015/04/03 21:39:16

some sort of proxy or DHCP thing maybe?

I can probably remove those error checks anyway, since it doesn't seem to be stopping spam. (of course maybe it is stopping some of it and we just don't know it.)
