So, does this all actually work, or has Magnus broken the site? :)

Apparently it does. Go figure.

Wow- userID 8. Never seen that one before.

Yay! A new survey, and also, will there be any more polls for POTY? I mean, we haven't really done all of the categories yet, or have we?

We have indeed done all of the PotY categories.

On another note, two hours ago we had a 6.5 earthquake about 60 miles from my house. Everything is okay, but there's a bunch of stuff to pick up around the house, and I'm a little shaken. I suppose it's the risk we take in living in the most beautiful place in the world. :-)

When do we find out about POTY results?

>Results will be announced in the beginning of next year
its in the article your responding to
lol

Oops, I hardly ever read more than the first sentence of the article

well it is the second sentence...

Note to self: Stop using punctuation, so readers read whole article.

lol

In that case, I would probably stop after the first line. Hmm...use really small font.

well, usually I only read the titles. Maybe the whole thing should be a title?

Maybe you should read the whole thing? LOL, it really is easier

Shaken... ha ha. Pun.

Would I *ever*?

(Ehh. Ok. Has happened a few times. But I usually fixed it pretty fast :-)

As one should do if they break things.

Hey Magnus,
I think the 40-character-word limit is broken. I don't know if it's newly broken or if it's been that way for a long time; I just ran into the bug recently, though.

It looks like it counts newlines as one of the characters, so long words (less than characters 40 each) separated only by newlines are counted as one very long word, and the comment is rejected.

In fact. I tried to split up the long (>40 char) German word Donau...kapitän with newlines only and it didn't work. :-)

The newline thing is REALLY messed up, though. I just had "Bob[newline]Bill" on the last news article as an example, and it didn't even work.

Maybe if the bugs and limits get out of hand, we can just say "See Web Page for my comment". :-P

LOL! But that will even be hard, since the webpage can't be over 128 characters in the status bar, and we'd have to eventually write the site like

h t t p : / / w w w . g o o g l e . c o m /

except that web browsers don't just use a newline marker, they use the win/dos thing.. carriage return then newline

\r\n

Even so, that's only four characters. That doesn't fix the newline problem.

Yeah, you're right. I can see "%0D%0A" in place of newline in a textarea when a form is submitted and method ="GET" (so I could see it in the URL).

I was messing around with netcat a bit to figure this out until I remembered that browsers encode special characters as "%<2-digit hex value>", even for method="POST". Duh.
