I know what you are thinking.... and no this isn't another PHP forum request (yet).....
Anyway I was wondering if we could have a sports board? The discussion of sports seems to annoy people in the lounge so would it not be possible to give us our own little place to talk about the Rugby Union and all those other excuses for sport....

Cricket is the most hated game here though  , But lounge is a good place to talk about sports. The thing is that people should stop making a fierce bite at the message people post on sports.
just like I do at Rugby and Basketball posts
Press: 1500 to 2,200 messages in just 6 days? How's that possible sir?
Dr.Brad :Well,I just replied to everything Graus did and then argued with Negus for a bit.

i'm pretty sure this as been reported several times, but anyway, i never seen a "that big time gap" issue...
for information, it happened there[^]...
|
|
|
|
|
Probably due to DST changes.
|
|
|
|
|
oh, i forgot that one... our DST change (in france) will happen in 2 weeks only (if i remember well)
|
|
|
|
|
Nish, do you know what's wrong with my post ?  
|
|
|
|

The issue is that our Win2000 servers were not updated automatically for DST. We (stupidly) assumed they would be. Our 2003 servers all updated fine so some servers where out of sync.
A further complication was that I updated all Win2000 servers when I realised there was no auto-update except Web4 that had died and was to be removed, burned and doused in holy water. Except we didn't remove it because we realised we needed to get Log files off it before we sent it to a Better Place. This perpetuated the time travel thing longer than it should have.
But it should all be good now.

I don't know whether you are aware of this, or whether this can be fixed,
but when you write a message and click on the 'Post Message' button
and then click the stop button on your browser the message is still posted.
So if you have made a mistake (I know I can use the preview button, to view what i am posting before I post it!) it is posted regardless of the fact that you have pressed the stop button on your browser. This can lead to multiple posts, because the user cannot see whether it was posted or not without having to open there browser and direct it to CP again.

That's how browsers work.

Tried, the CP servers didn't like it.

man, you fix bugs... here, the behavior is normal (as Chris told).
BTW, what do you think the "Modify" link exist for ?

There's nothing to fix there, it's not a bug.

Chris even though the majority of the time you won't fix this i know that in PHP I can check if the connection to the server was terminated. Does ASP have a similar feature?

There is "IsClientConnected" available. So check that before actually posting the message? The problem there is that it's very unreliable. If the message has been submitted then there's a small and random window of opportunity to bail out.

Well that could provide a small amount of protection, but if you were serious about it you could roll back on termination.
But yeah it wouldn't take much to make a small check that would eliminate a small amount of it.
Also one other thing, for Shogs CPhog do you provide him a API or does he just go through the normal process?

CPhog uses client side stuff - Chris hasn't given Shog any special API as far as I know

Well that explains how sometimes the posts just hang....

sending is usually much faster than retriving the response page. so it LOOKS as it is still posting, but in reality, the message is already posted.

Yep. One benefit a custom gateway would provide is much lower loading times for the client.

Oh sorry, for some reason I thought you replied to the question about a custom API for Shog.
But that is not what this is about, this is about pressing the stop button. When you press that it will terminate the connection to the server and so Chris can assume the post is no longer required.

What I meant is that when you press the "STOP" button, the message was already sent to the server, the server redirected you to your new post, but the browser is still busy fetching them.

You need a slower connection...

1.5 mb/s is slow enough for me.
