Never said it didn't, just seems once a page its asked for again.
Got this a few moments ago...
The situation was clarified months ago in a thread dedicated to the topic, and keeps coming up every once in a while.
I got that too, kinda freaked me out. My best guess is that it failied to save a draft of your comment.
I was hitting post and it errored but did actually post the comment.
When is the Qtr 3 top provider coming?

When I try to search I get forbidden 403. I would search for the answer but search isn't working.
Any clues, folks?
This was posted in another thread explicitly about the search,
People were attacking the shittly coded Vanilla search to slow down the site.
So it's been disabled for now, but it will be back SOON (TM)
Just like SSL will happen SOON (TM) ...
No-one has ever said that, drama queen. You know full well it's not happening until BSA are compatible with SSL (don't mention the pro plan).

he was bitching about let, not bitching about someone else. Then you took it personal and go personal.
Btw bsa supports https, they made it a paid product. It is LET's decision to not use it, so I don't think blaming bsa is reasonable.
Sorry, but imho, your opinion sounds incredible similar to: "provider xxx isn't good. They are unmanaged, but don't want to install, configure and monitor my server for gratis".
Oh the irony, sounds like a lot of let posts
No mate, just having a laugh. @GoodHosting and I get on well enough that I'm pretty sure he doesn't mind me taking the piss every now and then. Maybe next time let the receiver of the personal comments make their own feelings known before you dive in with both feet?
I'm assuming there are reasons why the owner doesn't go to the pro version, so let's not pretend it's that simple. Be realistic and remember this is a business, the bottom line matters. Not saying I agree with the stance btw, but it is what it is.
Yeah no, @Nekki 's a right cunt; we get along fine.
I used to agree, but now that Google will add SSL to its' ranking, I would think it's in LET/B best interests to implement SSL to get the benefit of the small ranking increase (among the many other small tweaks they could do here and there to boost the hell out of their SEO, such as reciprocal backlinking.)
Again though, the "small boost" that Google adds is incredibly negligible. It shouldn't be the only decision to implement SSL. However: I see no excuse as to why SSL can't be enabled on the login page at the very least, as this wouldn't affect the advertisements whatsoever.
Thats not a bad point to be honest. I guess time will tell.
As you took what I wrote as harsh, I am sorry.
About bsa I think we agree while disagreeing a bit. It's pretty clear that this is a business decision, and even if I don't like it, they have the right to do it.
Yeah i don't see either.. if the owner(s) want to keep more dollars avoiding the 'pro' plan (is this the reason?) why not (doesn't make much sense to avoid ssl for a few bucks but well...) - but the login page won't hurt economically and SSL on the login page might motivate a few users to login & post interesting content of the website...
Anyway, that's how it is.
Regarding the search function, it would be rather easy to implement sphinx or something similar; with some caching it would be pretty hard for an attacker to hurt the site using the search engine... and a search engine is pretty important IMO (at least as much as ssl is?
)
Sphinx + NGINX + Varnish. Takes about five minutes to install, and can generate a catalog from an existing table with about 3-4 lines of configuration (+ the 4-5 lines required to actually give it MySQL access, or access to a .sql dump of the database state at one point.) No Cluster-things required to make a search engine that doesn't suck. Must be rocket surgery not to need a Cluster in 2014, amirite? But no really, Sphinx would greatly help out here, where the default Vanilla search is a piece of crap, and Google can't search Vanilla very well (not to mention the numerous duplicate content, which makes searching a joke altogether.)
I think LET needs at least one active moderator from the Asia-Pacific region, to cover the gaps when the US based mods went to sleep and the Europe based ones didn't get online yet.
Maybe someone from Australia or New Zealand would be best, due to native English.

Isn't @jcaleb a good fit? AFAIK he lives in APAC.
@aus he is, but i think he doesn't have much free time to waste on LET.
jcaleb in Phillipina, I'm from Indonesia, and it should about the same timezone or 1 or 2 hours in advance. And many other people from Indonesia and India here too.
Don't forget, Oliver from Australia
I am just here. I squash Flags from time to time. Spirit also usually is just here most of the time. He just dont post comments often, but he do mod

Are you sure?
Oliver from RansomIT is Australian and a nice guy
Might wanna update LET's footer to a) 2014 or better b) dynamic printing of current year
A stable LET to read/post to would be nice.
remember the good old days where you could host a site and there wouldn't be a small army of mentalists trying to take it offline.................
I already advised that many pages ago (probably 6 months ago?)
Error 522 Ray ID: 17d793c59cef0962 Is the cloudflare error I'm getting right now when I try to access lowendtalk. I've been getting this for the past few weeks. I am accessing lowendtalk through a proxy right now.
