The Strange Case of the Disappearing Post!
Ok guys, after a bit of research I discovered at least part of the problem. Seems that using Safari or IE to post here might be at the root of posts disappearing, and since we have contributors that use multiple OS and web browsers, chances are anyone that helps edit a post, could contribute to the issue. So far it seems Firefox is immune to this (at least that’s what I read) so try using FF to post if you contribute. If you guys could let me know what browser you are using to contribute, that’d be a big help.
And yeah it’s a pain I know. Sorry.

And if this disappears, then we’ll know right? BWHAHAHHA!

You do realize that makes no sense right? BTW: I use IE @ work & Camino & Firefox at home. And yes my work post gets deleted. This needs to be fix like right now.

Then why are comments also missing? Also what happened to the header? Tenno call me ASAP.

camino
October 10th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Sure right away…. except I have no phone. Hhahahahaha!
No it makes sense, certain browsers just don’t seem to work with Wordpress. If you use IE at work, well….. posts seem to disappear….
Comments as well.
I’m working on it hahaha.

Oh and personally, I’d say IE is the main culprit here. Don’t use it. Period. It’s a bad browser anyways.

Also, the problems Xeno had might be due to him copying/pasting text from an HTML site, which is bad news in many cases. Always dump text into a vanilla text editor to erase any lingering attatchments or code (Notepad is good).

So you’re telling me the internet brower that maybe 90% of the inter uses is not compatible with Wordpress? That’s fucking retarded. So why are we having issues now?
also, you don’t have a land line at your mom’s?
October 10th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Yeah, but I don’t know your number ahhaha.
The most popular browser is Firefox these days in most cases; generally people only use IE because they have no idea there’s something better and it comes installed.

And it’s not incompatible, it’s a bug. IE is notorious for not working with various online tools, even the ones that are MS developed.

i used camino and my post and comments disappeared. why in the almost 2 years this sites been up are we now having “compatibility” issues?
October 10th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Because I touch myself at night.
October 10th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Yeah, I use Firefox exclusively and my stuff disappeared. I think Wordpress is just being gay.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
So Camino by the same guys who did Firefox & a Firefox user are gettig their post deleted. Hmm.
Then that means there only one logical conclusion.
Tenno is speaking out of his ass. (or typing in this case) And boy does that breath smells like shit.

I only use Firefox and why hasn’t anyone mentioned that these problems only started after the site redesign? Perhaps that’s the issue
October 10th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
The redesign was just a switch flipped. We had no issues until 09/30 and then the site went to hell. I’m very temped to start from scratch.
October 11th, 2008 at 8:11 am
i just think its bullshit that microsoft’s and apple’s proprietary web browsers is causing the issues, maybe its word press itself.
October 11th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Your attention to detail, as always, amazes me Decepticreep; pray tell.
October 11th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
i think you just talk out if your ass and dont know what the issue is.
October 12th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
0_0 go tend your chihuahua puppy! NAO! lol

Any word on the fix?
October 14th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Don’t use IE. Lol.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:33 am
So I take that you’ve done nothing and haven’t a clue why we were having this problem… OK, I should have expected as much.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:20 am
No, that’s part of the issue. Browsers.
Those posts are gone daddy-o. It could be because the server was migrating. I’m not sure. It’s not like i have a trial to follow. As far as the FTP and online stuff is concerened, those posts never existed.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Feel free to research it if you want, I spent hours doing so.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Really!? So how’s the new site coming along?
October 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Swimmingly!
