Couple of Bug Fixes This Evening
Mon Feb 16 2004

Hi all, bugs abound! Actually that's not necessarily true, but there are a couple that have been fixed this evening, bizarrely in stuff that I thought I already fixed a while ago.

The show my hits scripts are (or were) showing zero hits for the last 24 hours, which was clearly wrong - thanks to F for mailing in and letting us know. I made some changes to the viewer.pl scripts to consolidate how they operated (previously I had three seperate scripts that any time a bug fix was made needed to be applied to all three places - there is now only one) which I suspect is where the problem came from.

Secondly, the Last 10 Updated Diaries had been reset to be updated only once every ten minutes, which should be more often than that since I fixed the queries up to be more efficient, so that should update more often now too.

Have a good evening!
Steve

    It might be easier then for the author to put any entries that are intended for Friends Only on a page by themselves (a date by themseleves) so that the comments aren't seen by non-friends of the entry's author. Maybe a warning of some sort should come up to let us know that when we post a comment to a Friends Only entry in someone's diary that our comment will be public unless we specify private?

    Although, it would be nice to see comments for each entry listed separately. You could still have multiple entries on a page/date, but with a comment section after each entry. (in the future versions of course!)

    Yes, I can understand all that. I thought it was weird though when you actually click to login in to the freinds page, that the comments showed on that screen where you enter your name and password. (before you even got to the entry).

    Not a big deal at all, I shall just have to forewarn posters that the comments need to be made private as well when reading a friends only entry.

    Thank you again for all your hard work making this possible, I know as you try new things, quirks are going to pop up in unexpected places. I'm so happy for your willingness to try new things and work through them.

    Great job! *smile*

    I'm trying to post to the forums for problem I am having but instead of being able to post all I get is repated prompts to sign in after I have, and have typed stuff in already. V/frustrating!
