I think it works now, sorry about that, I shouldn't work on the forum at midnight having spent all day lugging CHaOS stuff around.

Apologies accepted! It was worrying for a second there though!

While you're here Dave, do you know what has happened to the Question of the Week thread? The permanent thread is seriously out of date, and I've no idea where to go to see the latest one.....

I have been trying to add a rel="nofollow" into all links so spammers don't get google ranking benifits by posting on the forum, and I forgot to get rid of some debugging information. It shouldn't happen now..

But does this not also undermine the ranking benefit that, say wikipedia, might rightly get from being oft quoted on here?

I am also noticing that some links are just $1 and not the full url.

for example the Forum News.

"The Naked Scientists have received TWO nominations in this year's podcast awards. Voting starts 28th July. We URGENTLY need your votes for Best Produced and Best Science and Technology Show...$1

Please support us"

This is happening a lot in admin and moderator posts, especially Rosy's! If you check the last posts of Rosy, you will see all her links are "$1"

[dentstudent]

I noticed this too, but if you remove the http// from before, it goes ok.....

All external links (links pointing off site to other sites) are displaying as $1, but the underlying link is still valid (just the displayed text is wrong).

Sounds to me like someone has got a regular expression messed up.

even internal links are showing the wrong text, this is a link to the geology section: http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0

I'll buy the site for $1.

I had trouble all day yesterday with the quote thing and posted to you Neily about it to see if anyone else was experiencing it.. I would hit the quote I wanted to use and nothing!!! would not work tried repeatedly to no avail so final started coying the quote and writing the words quote myself.

[Karen W.]

BTW IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THIS MONTH OF JULY!

[neilep]

The quoting thing is happening again !!!

[Karen W.]

OH Jeesh!!! Thats annoying!

[DoctorBeaver]

I was having trouble posting for a couple of days. It would take ages & often I got a SERVER TIME OUT error message. It seems OK this evening though.

Another thing I've noticed is that if I'm downloading while posting here, POST doesn't work; my Firefox twirly circle thingy doesn't even go round. I have to click PREVIEW then POST from there. It doesn't happen on other forums I use.

Just tried to follow a link (posted by Chris) from http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=706.msg5199#msg5199 to  http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/show/2004.01.11/ and MySQL goes berserk.  It may be an old podcast, that is no longer available, but it should not cause the page to crash (an appropriate response would be an error page saying that this podcast is no longer available).

[neilep]

I've had quoting errors tonight..where it does nothing..

..also..Error reports via SMF that the server is busy !!!....and just general slack and then inaction !

[kdlynn]

[daveshorts]

Don't know if that refers to the error I raised, but just tried the link again, and I obtain the following at the top of the page:

Certainly not user friendly.

George, i get no errors with that link. Although it does send me to a page for a TNS Radio show dated the 1st Jan 1970!

Clicking on the link to read the transcript, sends me to the main podcasts page.

Not any longer - it did give me the error when I posted, but itseems now to be fixed (in the last few minutes).
