Minor technical issue possibly found

Posted by thuso on June 27, 2005, at 18:40:03

Ok...I hope this isn't just me. I happen to be one of those people who loves to play with all the fun little extras some webistes have. I tried the extras here and couldn't get one tiny thing to work properly.

When I go to http://www.dr-bob.org/cgi-bin/pb/extras.pl and try to use the readability thing it won't work. I keep getting an error in both IE and Firefox. BUT when I go to http://www.dr-bob.org/cgi-bin/pb/flesch-kincaid.pl (got that web address by looking at the page source and where you have the calculate button pointed to) it works fine in both IE and Firefox.

Is my computer flipping out on me or is there really a problem? That's a fun little extra to play with, but there is no way I'll remember the cgi-bin website every time. :-P

P.S. What in the world does "pbc" mean? I was hoping to find it in the FAQ or somewhere but couldn't. I just understand that it's a bad thing.

PBC 'Please Be Civil'
PBS 'Please Be Sensitive' (to the feelings of others)

> I just understand that it's a bad thing.

He!

It is a warning...
If one keeps going / does that again it becomes a blocking.

I couldn't get the 'calculate readability' thing going either. I thought it would be fun to have a play. Officemate says that the majority of philosophy is unreadable! Ha!

My little niggle...
And I know it has been discussed before but I can't remember how the discussion went...
Is the find posts specifically for you option.
It will find the first post on the board.
Over and over and over
And just ignore the subsequent posts.

I get annoyed with that, too.

Sorry about that! It should be fixed now.
