Subject: [geeklog-devel] Long URLs
Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

Apple has an RSS generator for their iTunes Music Store at
<http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wo/0.1>
It lets you create RSS feeds for the overall Top 10 and lots of other
customizable feeds.

The URL for the first feed I selected was 98 characters long, but Geeklog
only accepts 96 - ouch.

New item on my to-do list: Upgrade all URLs to at least 128 characters
(URLs in events have 128, everything else just 96) ...

bye, Dirk

As you may have seen, we had a few spamming attempts on geeklog.net.
First in the comments (which have since been closed for anonymous posts)
and now in the forums. Since closing the forums for anonymous users would
probably alienate a lot of potential new users, we've opted for adding
more forum moderators instead.

So please welcome Vinny (Vincent Furia) and Turias (Sebastian Celis) who
will be helping Tony, Blaine, Dwight, and myself in the ongoing struggle
against spam.


On a side note: Blaine, forum feature request: Make adding moderators to
multiple forums easier. Locating a user in a list of 6000+ entries,
selecting the options, wait, wait again, and then doing that repeatedly
for 9 forums can be a bit of a pain ...

bye, Dirk

Funny you say that, I just asked Blaine about this a week or so ago and 
his new RC candidate addresses forum moderation.  I had the same problem 
when I went in to try and divy out moderation rights on Iowa Outdoors.
