Back in action
Written by Colin Devroe on July 1, 2005
As some of the early birds pointed out, the submission form was not working on Windows.
This had to do with a slight oversight on my part, which I apologize for, and also a problem with Open Rico and .htaccess (If you do not know what these two things are, that means you have more of a life than I do). To make an incredibly geeky and boring story short and sweet, I made a mistake and I ask that you not flog me too hard about it. I did my very best to resolve the issue quickly, even after downing 2 Jack and Cokes just prior to midnight.
For those that submitted
I beg for your forgiveness, and ask that you resubmit your site. I firmly believe that we did successfully record all site submissions, but since there is no real way for me to tell – a double submission is the safe bet. I do not want 1 person to miss out on this opportunity due to my negligence and a few key strokes.
Please accept the extra 2 hours we are going to leave submissions open for as a token of our appreciation for putting up with me. Hey, I’d give you a new car – but I ain’t Bob Barker.

I got a message saying I successfully submitted, but I’ll submit once more, just in case. Thanks for the notice.

Does it make sense to submit an *almost* ready to-go-live site?
I’m done with the design and have added some content in order for you to be able to guess what it’s about, but I want to add more posts before launching it.
So, back to the original question.
Thanks.

I still got nothing when using IE. After restarting it finally worked on Firefox. I hope you don’t have dozens of identical submissions from me!

You said the problem was only for Windows, right?

Konstantinos: It can’t hurt to submit.
Henning: I only have 1 Windows XP machine with IE6 on it, but the form functions perfectly in that.
Jeff: Yeah, just Windows. We got you.

Sorry, yes I am using Windows XP, IE 6sp2, Firefox 1.0.4. At any rate, I got my submission in, so I’m content.

I tried to submit just few minutes ago, but it told me that my site has already been submitted, which I do not recall ever doing the submission. Anyway, I submitted again, I hope the submission went through correctly.

You may have clicked submit twice by accident – it submits instantly.

If I submitted at around 4:00 a.m. and received “your site was succesfully submitted” I’m still ok?
Y’know, there should be a way of saving textareas in the cache or something… If it’s possible to fill in brief lines, why not big text boxes?

Wow. I was going to write an entry today titled Back in Action. Freaky.
Anyways… good luck to those who are submitting.
