I'm back online, now.

Submitted by Sarah on Fri, 01/04/2008 - 5:09pm.The Red Box
Submitted by Ehver Green on Fri, 01/04/2008 - 5:48pm.I found the fix to the red box at the top of blog posts a month ago or so.
The two lines of code between the straight lines represent the change. + is the new line, - is the old. The fix is to change (-)n.body to (+)r.body.
I just supported Mike's idea with a few bucks. You should too!
Drupal logging: I'm far from a drupal expert but poking around and building my own little test box has given me much more insight into the product. I'd be happy to review any current logs for errors to help Nat find the root of the problems a little quicker.
Mexico?

Nat? I see my Nat=Tan guess was not so far off.
Where there is smoke, if I am allowed to mess up a cliche, there are caimans. When the weather warms up, I'll be glad I don't live in Olympia.
Otherwise, I'm coming around to not missing the tracker. The new situation just changes the way we approach discussions. I can adjust. The "Access Denied" messages are sort of fun. We get to see how many bloggers are willing to jump in and take it personally when in fact it is only a stupid computer glitch. Sort of a broader lesson there about human nature, I'd say.
I almost always get the red/pink error box on my long posts now. It has become my friend. Also, I have developed the habit of copying those long ones before posting, since they have been vanishing most of the time when I submit them. The second time usually works.
We're still growing and learning and redefining ourselves here on OlyBlog. We remain an experiment. The technical bugs are just a reflection of our youth. When we become staid, secure, sedate and routine then we are cooked, done.
So I salute the loss of the tracker. Maybe we needed it in order to shake things up a bit and make our brains work in a different way.
Without the Tracker
