Server is back up, but still some bugs to be worked out.

You're password reset system is broken. It's obviously an eggaphant.

Damn it Aeson! Get your **** together! I was mildly inconvenienced by this.

Seems like I found a bug ... do I get a cookie now?

I tried to edit a posting of me:

http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/211291-Sharia-Law-at-Wal-Mart-Trigger-Warning-People-Arguing-With-Ben?p=6408981&viewfull=1#post6408981

But the edit textbox was empty (instead of showing me the text of the posting to edit.
For another, shorter posting (in Bens birthday thread), editing worked fine .. the edit-textbox correctly showed the text of the posting to edit.

So maybe it either has to do with the length of the posting or the length of the thread (as the 2nd case was both, a shorter posting, that was located in a shorter thread)

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll look into it.

Elok says he can't log in.

I see Elok was able to post just recently, so I must have done some awesome sleep-bug-fixing. Perhaps I should go back to sleep to fix the rest of them!

[DaShi]

Was it Elok or was it his clever doppleganger EIok?

Ok, editing should be working correctly now. It was the funky single quotes (and other special characters) weren't handled correctly by the editor on vB 4 + latest version of PHP.

I can confirm it ... text now appears correctly in all edit boxes

Merged this from the other phantom thread. What exactly is the problem with the password reset?

[Sava]

It doesn't work. See, give me your password, I will log in, change it, and you won't be able to login.

The random question apparently requires a random answer.

[Aeson]

Which question was it?

I got this one: "Twirl around on your chair 47 times ... now in 5 letters tell me, how do you feel?"

[DaShi]

The elephant and the egg one.

[Aeson]

I've gone ahead and changed the way the password reset works. Those questions were to stop bots from registering.

"If an elephant were an egg, what would the elephant be?"

A really fvcking big egg.
