Hi all.

I'll be updating the forum software this weekend, and setting up a whole new front end for MuNu. I'll also be applying some server patches.

There may be some downtime for the blogs, but unless things blow up in my face it should be less than five minutes in all.

Over at Patriot Paradox the second ever Link Carnival is ready for your links.

Each Thursday I'll be making a post, linking to three of my favorite blogs, then asking you to do the same. Here are the rules:

1. Link to three blogs other then this one, and yourself.
2. If you see a blog already listed try to link to another blog other then that one.
3. If you can trackback to this post, which will help you because it will link back to you under this entry.

I'm hoping to see all Munuvians stopping by and linking away. Call it a comment party or what-not just stop by and link to your free favorite blogs, and be sure to link to the post. If successful it will be back next week!

Also each day I have a new Daily Quiz question up, so be sure to visit and answer daily.

OK, this might sound a bit weird, but there was some ecological message that went across the screen while I was at the theater this afternoon that said if we all unplugged our TV sets when we were not usin' 'em, the amount of 'lectricity we would save would be near the annual amount generated at Hoover Dam. My question is exactly why is my TV is still using 'lectricity after I switched it off? Jes' figgered with all the brain power floatin' 'round the Munu universe, surely one or two of ya'll could put the answer in simple enough words for me to understand.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to install 2 different things into my MT install:

1. Trickle
2. Smilies

ANyone have any idea how I can get these to work without access to cgi-bin and Movable Type files?

Posted by: Nick Queen at 04:35 PM | Comments (121) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

1 For Trickle you just need to ask Pixie to turn it on for your blog. I don't know about Smilies though.

Posted by: Jim @ at August 10, 2004 07:00 PM

2 I'll turn Trickle on for you.

We also have a plugin installed for smilies. I'll post a note on how to use it later today.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 11, 2004 12:04 AM

3 Pixy;

Would you please turn trickle on for Light & Dark and Mad Mikey as well? And CaughtintheXfire too, if it isn't already?

Gracias!

Paul

9 Trickle ROCKS!!!

I'd like the smiley info too, please.

Oh, and if anyone knows how I can add the link, italics and bold links to my comments, I'd really appreciate.

OT - My info is being remembered on comments all of a sudden. I'm not complaining, of course, but I would love to know why it's working suddenly when it's been an issue for months. Any thoughts?

Posted by: Linda @ at August 11, 2004 03:14 PM

10 Uh, I don't think I have trickle enanbled on Read my Lips either.

Posted by: Tiger @ at August 11, 2004 07:41 PM

11 Linda:

Do a view source code on your new entry/edit page.

In the head section will be some javascript code that runs the functions to turn your selections into bold, italics etc. Copy & paste that code into the head section of your comment templates.

In the body section, scroll down and locate the code that displays the buttons and their control functions. It will be right above the textarea for your copy. Copy & paste that code into your comment templates right after the code that displays Comments above the textarea box.

That combination of codes will not work in Mozilla, but does work fine in IE 6.0... not sure what other limitations there might be as far as browsers are concerned.

Good luck!

Posted by: Madfish Willie @ at August 11, 2004 09:35 PM

12 Linda:

If you want, just Copy & Paste the source code from my comments... you'll have to remove the Bloggers with Boobies code and change the code from bullshittin to Comments, etc.... that should make it easier... But first - backup your current template!

Posted by: Madfish Willie @ at August 11, 2004 09:39 PM

Stupid question from a non-techie kind of guy.

When I post an entry to my blog, even if I get a successful ping to http://munuviana.mu.nu, my spanking new entry does not appear in the list of "new on MUNU" entries. I'm sure I'm overlooking something silly and would appreciate if anyone could give some assistance.

Thanks,
JKS.

1 After I posted the above cry in the darkness for help, my new entry on my blog actually DID appear in the "new on MUNU" list, right below my stupid request for help. I'm glad to see that I'm on the list now, but kinda confused how I got there.

Still could use some help I guess.

JKS.

Posted by: JKS @ at August 09, 2004 04:43 AM

2 I see it there, too, under all those Ambient Irony and Rocket Jones posts that seem to be permanantly at the top of the list.

Posted by: Tuning Spork @ at August 09, 2004 06:18 AM

3 The New at MuNu list only updates when Munuviana updates (a new post or comment will do).

I have worked out how to make it update automatically but haven't got around to implementing it yet.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 09, 2004 08:25 AM

4 I've worked out the details of this - and of sorting it properly by date & time, and of excluding future posts - and it will be in place later today

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 09, 2004 04:51 PM

5 Yay on excluding future posts!!!!! (Those suckers were taking up half the list, Trixie!)

Posted by: Susie @ at August 09, 2004 05:00 PM

6 Is done! It should now give the last 24-hours or so of posts, in proper order. Yay! And no future posts!

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 10, 2004 03:34 AM

7 Also, it updates automagically every 10 minutes.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 10, 2004 03:35 AM

8 Automagically is cool, but I'll miss people going "la la la" in the comments just to get the list to update....

I'd really like to help out with this issue, because I know it bugs a lot of Munuvians, and their visitors as well.

Since I didn't get any takers on my previous post about testing comment memory here, I've done some iterative testing on my own. I know very little about coding, and programming, but due to my own experiences, I have long suspected that there may be two factors at work in this problem. One is the actual code used, which as I say I know little about, and the other is how the browser is handling cookies.

As a result of my testing on MuNu, (and I can't make this claim for any other domain, as I have no way of testing), I can definitely say it is an end-user problem -- sort of. It's actually Internet Explorer that doesn't handle the code the way we want, although FireFox does.

I am running a completely standard installation of Firefox 0.9.2, and my comment info is successfully remembered on every blog on MuNu. (Except Rusty's, on which he has been playing with the cookies scripts) Conversely, no matter what cookies settings I use for Internet Explorer, it will not remember my user info on any MuNu blog. (Actually, I haven't tested every single one with IE... once through with FireFox took long enough!)

From what I can see, Internet Explorer chokes on the fact that the cookie is being set by blogs.mu.nu, but that it needs to read from the subdomain the user is on -- e.g. LightandDark.mu.nu -- so it fails. (In a single-blog installation, theses 2 addresses are the same.) So I think Rusty's on the right track for trying to find a fix for IE users via the var HOST variable.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about scripting to be able to help resolve the problem under Internet Explorer, but at least this explains why there is such a variation between users who have no problems with their comment info being remembered, and those who do.

So, for Internet Explorer users, I don't have a solution. But for Firefox, and I suspect, Mozilla users, if your user information is not being remembered in comments boxes at MuNu, it's gotta be because of the settings you're using in your browser.

Go to the Tools menu and click on Options. Then click on Privacy on the left side of the Options window. Click on the + beside Cookies, and make sure there is a check mark in the box labeled Enable Cookies. Be sure there is no check mark in the box labeled for the originating web site only, and also make sure that the button for accept cookies normally is turned on.

One other thing to note! There are actually two seperate places where comments can be left, and therefore 2 places where cookies need to be set in order for a blog's comments to remember a visitor.

The first is in the pop-up box that normally shows up when a user clicks on the comments link at the bottom of a post on the main page. If the user enters their information and selects yes for remember me, then, if using Firefox, they will be remembered for the next time. This arrangement allows a user who has had his comments remembered at one MuNu blog to be remembered at all MuNu blogs that use the popup comment window.

However - if the user then goes to a post's permalink page (daily archives), - this is where you'll be if you've followed a link to the post from another blog - that location requires a completely separate cookie to be set, so even though the user has been remembered in the comments pop-up box before, they will also need to re-enter their information in the permalink page's comments area in order to be remembered in that area on future visits as well.

A few people have set up their configurations so that clicking on the comments link on the main page takes you to the comment section of that post's individual archives page instead. (for antispam reasons) This type of comment section is the same one described in the preceeding paragraph, so will not remember users who have their information remembered at other blogs. The user will have to enter their information at that specific blog in order to be remembered the next time. Emma's site is an example of this kind of setup. (Yes, Emma, it's your specific "session only" setting that's not allowing your info to be remembered when you re-visit a blog).

I know there's a lot of jargon here, so if you need a better explanation of anything, ask away in comments. I'll keep looking for an IE solution too, but the MuNu programming/coding gurus are a lot more likely to come up with something useful.

Also, I'd really like to know whether other Firefox users are having their comment info remembered please?

1 I'm using Mozilla, and it remembers me most of the time.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 09, 2004 04:37 AM

2 The strange thing for me is that my info is remembered at all non-munu blog, but not at any munu blogs EXCEPT munuviana.mu.nu. Could that a clue to anything?

I had assumed, btw, that it's an IE issue because my info was remembered everywhere in IE before I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 98 a few weeks ago.
But, Pixy, have you done anything to the server during June through early July that may have affected the way IE interacts with munu? Since it's IE users that suddenly are having the problem, it might be a server setting somewhere...??

Posted by: Tuning Spork @ at August 09, 2004 06:12 AM

3 My buddy who uses Mozilla tells me it doesn't (and didn't) work for him either even after he adjusted his settings.

Posted by: Rusty @ at August 09, 2004 03:25 PM

4 I exited out of Mozilla and it forgot me. Bam!

Spork, no, haven't messed about with the server or MT config lately.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 09, 2004 04:52 PM

5 I'm using Mozilla and, since the re-install I've had to use "form manager" to fill in the first time I've commented someplace since then, but as long as I check "remember me" I don't have to fill out my info again. One thing I DID note, however--until I commented in a pop-up comment box on my own blog and told it to remember me, the pop-up boxes weren't remembering me across munu, so I suspect that if your blog doesn't have the pop up box, you're NOT going to be remembered everywhere ahead of time....

Posted by: Susie @ at August 09, 2004 04:53 PM

6 Thanks for your explanation (and being a handsome devil, too) Paul!



Love,
Em

Posted by: Emma @ at August 10, 2004 04:00 AM

7 Susie, you've hit it bang on. The pop-up box and the archive page are completely unrelated to each other as far as being remembered is concerned.

As for the inconsistencies people are still experiencing... wow. i really thought I'd at least narrowed it down, but I guess not! Just out of curiosity though, is anybody that's using the current version of FireFox with the settings I mention in the post NOT having their comments remembered on MuNu?

What we need to find is one configuration that is working for all who use it, then we can try to backtrack from there.

Lemme know?

Paul

First, showing how dumb I can be, I didn't realize that I wouldn't have to ping a munuvian. Duh! Why all the pings when you post my dear! Okay, so I finally got that bit through my thick head.

But this last time I posted, linking to Auterific and Snooze button, I got this message:

2004.08.08 21:41:55 80.178.121.136 'Rachel Ann' added entry #40354

Sniff, sniff. I wanted both Linda and Jim pinged. I know Linda got pinged, but I'm not sure Jim did. If "they only accept one ping every half-hour, how do I ping more than one munuvian?

Hi! I'm here!! (Rachel Ann waves wildly) and
HELP!
as in; give me a clue to how I can make my Blog Title more willowy; I'm thinking different fonts. Found the codes for colors but I wanted to do something with my just sitting there title. I would also like to center the title and find two willow trees to surround it...but right now if I can just change the font.

Ok, so it's official. This is not a user end problem. I have been surfing the MT forum for help and I have some scripts to fix the problem. I'm going to continue to tweak my comment template and then I'll post the solution in the comments section of this post. Help is on the way!!!

Posted by: Rusty at 06:56 PM | Comments (136) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

1 Mr Rusty:

If you check Remember Me, it should set the cookie to remember and not erase the cookie... or should my linear thinking be circular?

Posted by: Madfish Willie @ at August 05, 2004 07:08 PM

2 Hypothetically. That's why this is 'bug'. When I replaced the 'head' and 'body' templates with some script I found from someone else w/ the prob--who claimed that was the reason for the problem-it was fixed immediately.

Posted by: Rusty @ at August 05, 2004 07:57 PM

3 Interesting. Keep us posted!

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 05, 2004 08:17 PM

4 Ok, one problem solved--one problem found!!!!!

So, now it remembers me after I post. But if I close the window, then reopen it, my info disappears. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

This is a common problem over on the MT forum. Literally hundreds of people posting on it.

Perhaps the most common solution has to do with changing the var HOST field to the toplevel domain name. But that didn't work, apparently because our MT is installed somewhere else.

This is really irritating!! Madfish Willie, do you think you could take a look at my blog and see what you come up with?

Posted by: Rusty @ at August 05, 2004 09:50 PM

5 This seems to happen to me while using one of my five computers on board my ship. I was going a different route and checking all the preference settings in IE with no luck. I even zapped the crap out of that computer with my ray gun and that didn't help.

Posted by: Zongo the Ruthless @ at August 05, 2004 09:57 PM

6 When your info disappears, does it re-appear again if you click the Yes button?

Can you e-mail me the new code you used - I can compare it to the original code and see what is different that way.

I am humbled that you would defer to me in this situation, but Pixy and Rob are really the ones best able to solve this problem. I'm just good at sniffing out open-source code and modifying it enough to use for myself. I understand enough about everything to be dangerous because I'll try to change stuff and it ends up all butchered.

Posted by: Madfish Willie @ at August 05, 2004 11:34 PM

7 Erm maybe this will sound snitty but Munuvia is running a version of MT that is about .2 versions behind the latest release of MT2 (not MT3 - the latest is MT2.661) Maybe that would help?

Posted by: Rob @ at August 06, 2004 12:09 PM

8 I think I downloaded a copy of that to my laptop right before 3.0 came out... if MuNu needs it, just let me know.

Posted by: Madfish Willie @ at August 06, 2004 05:21 PM

9 I always thought it was my browser settings that was "resetting" the cookie code (I have cookies flushed when I exit the browser).

Could that be it -- or am I waaaay off base?

Posted by: Emma @ at August 06, 2004 09:38 PM

10 I have 2.661 too. I don't know of any changes that would affect this, though. The main thing was comment throttling which MT Blacklist largely removes the need for.

And we're only 0.021 versions behind, anyway

We'll probably be upgrading to MT3 once the general release comes out. (Now that they've got their heads on straight re pricing.)

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at August 07, 2004 01:52 AM

11 Ummmm, is it me or was Rusty euphamistically writing "Help is on the way." John Edwards said it so many times in his speach that from now on when I hear those words I'll think of him.

Anyway, Rusty/Madfish, please let me know what you uncover with the cookie/remember me issue.

thanks!

Posted by: Michele @ at August 07, 2004 01:55 AM

12 Rusty:

The default setting you refer to in the post only determines which of the 2 radio buttons will be selected when a user first comes to a comment page.

That's the polite way, so that an unsuspecting user won't get a cookie unless they specifically approve the action by changing the selection to yes. (Opt-in, as opposed to opt-out)

Changing that selection to yes 'should' change the behaviour of the script to place a cookie.

I've been doing a bunch of iterative testing, and will post the results in a new post in a few minutes.

Teresa over at Technicalities posted today about her dislike of the way her Hotmail e-mail account handles embedded links - you click thge link, and a new Hotmail window opens with the link in a "frame". I hate that kinda crap too.

Several months ago, I found a neat little utility at SlayerOffice that decrapulates the link and treats it like a regular link in a regular web page. It installs as a favelet on your toolbar. All you do is click the decrapulator favelet and then click the link.

So, to all you with Hotmail accounts, go to OfficeSlayer's Hotmail Link Decrapulator Favelet, and download the little app, and improve your Hotmail Experience!

Pixy, I seemed to have developed the same weird 'posted by' name problem that a few others have been afflicted with in the past. I couldn't find the specific posts to see if there was a solution. Was there?

Posted by: PaulT at 03:41 AM | Comments (93) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

I've been doing some thinking about why some Munuvians and visitors get remembered & some don't. The one variable that I thought was worth checking is whether some folks have their browser's cookie permissions set differently with regard to storing cookies across domains (since MuNu uses so many subdomains)

Would folks who uses Firefox, and who have problems being remembered, please do the following, and report back in comments:

In the browser, got to Tools | Options | Privacy and click on Cookies. Let me know if the box marked For the originating wesite only is checked? And if it is, uncheck it, close and reopen your browser and retest the Remember Me seetings on your blog

Thanks!

Since she's not blogging lately, and checking email infrequently, could someone with rights to her page (which is Pixy and Pete the No-Longer Blogless, I guess) delete the porn comment spam which is showing up on her sidebar? I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

And, yes, I've saved a screenshot for posterior whatever that word is that's supposed to go here. I'm suddenly drawing a blank.

Recent immigrants to Munuviana may not realize that we have our own space program. Air Munuviana was our first rocket, flying fast and high until an electronics failure caused a catastrophic disassembly into component pieces (translation: she was recovered in several handfuls of tiny little bits).

But to any true rocketeer, the loss of a rocket is just an excuse to build another one, so I've been gathering supplies to do just that. This weekend I picked up the airframe tubes and a brand new altimeter, so all that's needed now is a little construction time.

As Victor would say, nameless rockets have bad juju, so I've already decided on one. In honor of Mu.Nu, or new moo, or something like that, the obvious choice is:

Any artists out there wanna do a logo? As before, all Munuvians will be listed on the rocket and much commenting upon will be made. I won't promise traffic spikes, but several rocketeer friends mentioned that they visited some of us after seeing the Air Munuviana.

She'll probably be a little shorter, but the airframe is a slightly larger diameter. The design allows for both solid fuel motors as well as the nitrous-hybrid motors.

Maiden launch is scheduled for September. Pictures to come.

I've noticed on my blog that the comment counter is going up on my latest post, and if I log in to my MT menu then I see there are comments there. But if I click on the comment counter on my actual blog, then those comments aren't there.

Is there a comments monster in my blog?

For some reason my blog doesn't remember user info for frequent commenters (me--which is annoying). Even when "Yes" is chosen and cookies are enabled. Any suggestions?

Also, I notice that when my comments page opens up, frequently the text is blank until I scroll up and down a few times. Possibly a problem on my end, but maybe others have experienced this.

UPDATE: Most of the comments tended to think this was a user-end problem. I don't. The reason is that the problem persists across a number of internet surfing platforms. For instance, it doesn't seem to matter wheter one is using IE, Netscape, or Mozilla. I'm thinking that there is a problem in our comments template with whatever code sends cookies since it seems to affect so many of us.

This is a job for Madfish Willlie!

1 The whitespace instead of text has to do with specifying a background color instead of "clear" for one of the div elements. Sorry I don't remember which one. Anybody?

The comments is a recurring problem. Try reducing your browser's resistance to cookies.

2 Don't know if this will help, but after I uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla the comments at various munu blogs didn't remember me--until I commented and and saved the info at my own blog--then, ta da! the comments boxes across munuvia remembered me....(does not work for non-pop up boxes, like here )

3 i have the same two problems Rusty, you are not alone.

4 I posted about this not too long ago as well. It doesn't work for me even if I click remember personal info. It's a pain to have to enter your own information time and time again in your own comments. I wish I had an answer to this.

5 Rusty, I know that Jim was having all kinds of problems on my comments under IE - but when I posted on my site to see if anyone else had a problem, I didn't get any response at all. So I still don't know why there is a problem with some IE browsers, but not others (my IE browser resolves the comment box just fine...) *sigh*

Some sites I do have problems with the blog retaining my info, others there is no problem. I haven't figured that one out either. I use Firefox for browsing now, most of the time.

7 I have intermittent failure-to-remember-me problems here at MuNu and at other sites as well. I can't work out what it is

8 Did you try double clicking on the field? Usually my info doesn't appear, but when I double click it appears in a dropdown menu, then I click on the dropdown.

9 Rusty, the problems I have with that idea is that (a) it's not consistent, (b) we're all using different comment templates, and (c) it happens to me on other blogs too.

I'm not saying you're wrong, mind; just that I'm not sure. But I will poke around some more this weekend.

I seem to remember a fraud alert which said that these e-mails are fraudulant. I did not hit the link, but I did go to the regular ebay login, and found no notices.

What do you guys think?
