One of the things I’ll be doing with the PI is visiting ‘interesting sites’

ha! gmta. 🙂 that was the first thing I thought of when I first learned about the raspberry pi and its relatives.

My URI resolves to whynow.nfshost.com which has a dynamically assigned IPv4 address. Whenever I install the SSL that shift won’t be apparently to outside software, as it is now.

The editing plug-in may look like the ‘man in the middle’ that it logically is, as it needs to verify that a user doesn’t have editing privileges to decide whether or not to become visible.

One of the things I’ll be doing with the PI is visiting ‘interesting sites’ because it is so easy to create a new system card, that I won’t care if it gets hit with something bad.

because everyone knows how shifty the US is

my computer apparently thinks so!

My guess is that she’s running a firewall program that monitors her network connections for “suspicious” JavaScript from “suspicious” sites and removes it. It’s the only thing that could explain why she can edit on one blog but not on this one.

i had pretty much decided it must have something to do with some of my antimalware settings. i do like to be able to check up on some of the more dubious corners of the interwebz occasionally.

In reply to Badtux. Given the way my host deals with IPv4 this site will indeed look suspicious to some software and using .US as the TLD certainly doesn't help, because everyone knows how shifty the US is ;)

Yes, keeping both the Preview button and the Edit button is a good thing…

OK, I’m not getting rid of the Preview because I use it to avoid having to save and then edit my comments in the Admin area since the Edit option doesn’t work for me after I log in. I’ll leave both.

It must be a Javascript thing, although I haven’t looked at the code for the plug-in, for you to be experiencing the problem in multiple browsers.

Hipparchia, my guess is that you have noscript or some similar plugin in all of your browsers that’s blocking the little piece of Javascript that does the countdown timer.

But you’re right, if it’s not working for you, there’s probably a dozen other people lurking who would have the same problem if they attempted to post. Getting rid of the preview button is probably a good idea… though I do enjoy having the edit function too.

i actually prefer the preview option to the edit comment option anyway, so i’m hoping you go with that.

nope, i see no way to edit my comment with this browser either….
