Yeah, that was my issue. Using multiple computers and having to keep it synced.

I am mostly bugged by the failure to use links and lynx which gets a 403 error.

I thought we had dealt with the links/lynx problem? I certainly have no problem accessing WP with lynx, provided I give an acceptable "user-agent".

E.g. This works fine:

lynx -useragent=Lynx www.wrongplanet.net

(I just tried it.)

(I wasn't quite masochistic enough to do this reply from lynx.)

I also just installed "links", "links2" and "elinks". Unfortunately, the latter seems to have replaced the basic "links". Ho hum.

Both elinks and links2 worked straight off.

==========

And now that I check... Alex seems to have sorted out the "lynx" problem, anyway, because that doesn't seem to need a "-useragent" switch any more.

k, it didn't when I last time tried it. I'll try from my laptop ASAP.

Edit: using lynx isn't as masochistic as using FF from a PC with 36 MB of RAM.

I just thought that aspie obssesions should be in more organized channels, links can be boxes of maybe some sort of interactive bulletin board with useful info.

Wasn't sure where to post this.
If I'm mistaken, then my bad...but-
time on board posts seems suddenly an hour later.
Yes, I changed my account's default time a month ago (March 9) for USA time change, and it's been correct up 'til now. It's (still) currently set for "GMT-4". It's 3:40 a.m. & this post will read 4:40 a.m. I live in eastern time zone, yet the times on posts say it's an hour later-and I am logged in. I could alter my settings to make it that hour later, with "GMT-3" (and guess I probably will)-but I really thought I had changed it already. Is it just me ?

Thanks so much for that answer (seriously !)-I thought I was "seeing things" because everything appeared "normal" until yesterday (and no one else had mentioned it).

Hm. Current time is 2008-04-07T20:00:00 UTC.
I'm on BST, which is UTC+1 currently, so local time is 21:00:00 BST
EDT is UTC-4, so the time there should be 16:00:00

I have set my profile to GMT+1 (GMT, for most purposes, is the same as UTC)

This message has just been shown here with a timestamp as 10:00:00 pm, which is wrong.

I have a question about using greasemonkey to hide annoying post, is it still working, or has its use been disabled?

It works completely local to your own machine, so it can't be "disabled".

The way WP links pages/topics/etc together was changed, a while back, so you need to make sure that the script is told which URLs to function on.

I have:

Code:

*/viewtopic.php*
http://www.wrongplanet.net/post*
http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic*

The first is what the script came with, IIRC.
The second is the old style page addresses.
I think the last is the only one strictly needed, at present.

Chatroom problem.

Mortomes had this little bot that he created running around the chatroom.

Now, when it first appeared I was able to ignore it just fine. But the second time I entered today, I put it on ignore and the ignore feature wouldn't work.

I was able to ignore everyone else just fine, but the Bot was somehow immune to the ignore feature.

It has nothing to do with my "software' or my "client".

Is there any way you could just ban the use of bots all together, as they are quite annoying.

Apparently I'm not allowed to edit a post 9999 minutes after I made it. Is there reasoning for this, and if not can it be changed?

if you would like for me to delete it I can,(PM me with the exact post by finding where it says "Post:" and clicking on the little page to the left. The page will refresh and the URL in the address bar will be just for that post) 9999 minutes is as long as the software allows .
