Ahoy hoy. Clank-o-tron here with an important message.
There've been a few problems with people being unable to respond to threads. The root cause is a bug in the LML script, specifically the "quote" tag. Unmatched pairs of quote tags can cause the LML/HTML converter to get stuck in a loop, resulting in the inability to make further contributions to the experiemnt.
I hope to have this resolved by 10pm PST 8/13/03. Until then, please make use of the preview button when posting - if you click it, and you get either no text or an error message, please make sure you have not make the mistake noted above.
That's all for now, but I'll be using this thread as a running groups status monitor for The Lab. If you catch an error - for example, an instance of the infinite quote error mentioned above - please notify all of us in here. |

Sorry it was a bit late, work kept me longer than expected. The inifnite quote problem has been hastily fixed (at least until I get my own box back to perfect working order). To see an example of the fix in action, put the following line into a reply window and hit preview:
[quote=foo]moo[/quote][/quote]
Hopefully, it's pretty obvious what the LML error was above, but not all posts are that concise.
End transmission, yo.

Attention: The Lab has just reached 5000 posts.
I'd like to extend a personal thanks to each person who's contributed to discussion, and a further thanks to all of you who have 100+ posts, and even further thanks to those of you who were around for the OLD lab and who stuck around despite a total reset of the postcount.
Thanks again, all.

Okay, my host had a hardware failure last night, and I've noticed some problems (file modes, email access problems, etc).
If you notice any problems that you think may result from this, please let me know.
//edit: also, if you have a microsponge.org email address, you may have had your password reset and your saved emails trashed.

I made a few quick changes to the back-end, primarily to patch up a common php/mysql exploit. Also, due to some trouble with excessive loadtime on the thread list page (./threadlist.php) I've added a page construction time indicator at the bottom. I'll be testing the site transfer rate on a variety of internet connections to try and nail down the source of the delay. |

I think I've got the source of the delay, but I'll have to check it with a high-speed connection to be sure. If anyone on broadband is actually reading this, please send me a conspiracy with the access time on the bottom of the "20 most recent threads" page.
Tech details here. |

Well, the delay was getting worse (a few people had actually timed out, and I came rather close) and I finally got the time to locate and fix the issue. The problem was not actually an excessive number of database calls, but rather one vague call.
Preliminary numbers put load time on the "20 most recent" page to be about a tenth of the previous times. |

There was a problem with old threads that had been posted to recently not appearing in the top 20 that has been fixed.
Unfortunately, that caused the "high-prioirty" threads to be present in the high-priority section as well as their place in the usual top 20. This is minor, and I'm busy with real life, so that fix has been put to the back burner. |

Obviously, the site redesign has hit. If there are any problems or a page with the old design, please let me know.
Thanks for your continued support. |

Well, it looks fucking great, but it doesn't seem to like Opera much, with some formatting problems. I've also had difficulty even connecting with the site in Opera, although that could merely be my utterly shit internet connection screwing with me again. I suppose I could have verified all of this by trying to view the page in IE, but it seemed not being able to view the site was the lesser of two evils in this circumstance. |

yhh. I thought you were using firebird (which it looks fine on), anyway? If you've got some free time, email me some screenshots of the formatting problems. |
