I just looked at RetailMeNot and it actually looks like it doesn't call out remotely -- it keeps a copy of the site's db locally.

Let's see if this works...

Yay -- it was the Symantec firewall.

Wow, so it must've been stripping out the referer. What a cheeky monkey.

Is it an SGS?

While we're at it, I've noticed this bug in ILX: when I accidentally mistype the BBcode, the site is nice enough to tell me I've mistyped the code, and gives me the chance to correct it. But when I do that and try to repost what I've written, I always get an error message and the post doesn't go through, even though the BBcode is now corrected. This happens with both IE and Firefox.

The error message is like this:
HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report
message Access to the requested resource has been denied
description Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.

This is a bug. It may be fixed some time.
Nice to meet you on Sunday, Tracer. Sorry I didn't get more of a chance to chat. I stupidly thought that it would get quieter, later! Some other time.

Only recently noticed the tidy little AJAX. It's so subtle! Awesome!
― fields of salmon, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 22:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, I looked around for you but it was kinda.. crazy.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 23:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, it was a great laugh. Saw loads of people I haven't seen for ages.
Fields of salmon... Waht? There is no AJAX... This site is guaranteed pure Windows 3.1 shit.
― Keith, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 11:04 (fifteen years ago) link
Enh? But now when you post a comment it doesn't redraw the entire page! How does that work.
― fields of salmon, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 12:15 (fifteen years ago) link
It does... It just does it really quickly!
― Keith, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 13:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Waht? There is no AJAX... This site is guaranteed pure Windows 3.1 shit. Ahem "convert simple HTML to BBcode" cough cough we up to date with all modern techniques and that

That's more like SJA, but yes, it is certainly Javascript.
― Keith, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 14:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Though Javascript's really up there with Windows 3.1 shit I suppose.
Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, but if I look at this poll thread:PIXIES Poll: The best track on Trompe le Mondewith images turned off in my ILX preferences, the first post just appears like this:
http://i36.tinypic.com/280tvua.jpg, Monday, 15 December 2008 01:55 (3 days ago) Bookmark
all on one line, so the text before the image, the poll options list and the post attribution have all disappeared. Thought I'd raise it here in case any other polls-with-images are also broken.
(Also I was logged out when I first clicked on an option to vote, and after the login page I got some kind of error message which I've now lost which basically told me there was an unspecified error and try again in a minute, but I don't know if this is related or if I did something else wrong. Might've typed my password wrong, I often type my old ILX password in by mistake still)
(PS I'm using a slightly old version of Opera on XP, if that's of any relevance, but I've viewed source and the missing stuff really is missing, not just been eaten by an unclosed tag or anything)

It's the same with me: I have images turned of, and the first post is totally invisible, I see only the same thing as Spacecadet. I'm at work, so I'm using IE.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 18 December 2008 14:07 (fifteen years ago) link
These polls both have images in the starting thread and still work for me with Show Images off, so I've no idea what the problem with the Pixies one is.
everybody has their own opinion: the jane's addiction NOTHING'S SHOCKING polljay reatard matador singles '08
Can't find anything else of the form [internal ILX link, text, image, poll] like the Pixies poll yet so maybe it's something about that combination which does it.
― britisher ringpulls (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 18 December 2008 14:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I'd suggest starting a thread on the mod request forum or something about this.
― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 18 December 2008 14:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Will do, thanks. Wasn't sure if it was just "please edit this, thanks" requests there but now I see there are some other code/bug-related queries too.
