Test

Hi there,

I tried to post with this content:

For some reason, I cannot comment to my killed Proposal. As there were questions asked to me, Id like to answer here. Also there need to be space for discussion why this mysterious Server Error happened. The question “Is Purplebeard a murderer and needs to be arrested should not be discussed here. I (or someone else) will create a Crisis-Proposal, when one of these lazy Servants turns the light on…

At first, I am sorry for this wrong Proposal. I did not remember the “A Crisis may not be proposed or enacted while the Lights are Out.”  part of the Ruleset…

> Did you keep this post open in your browser for eight or so hours before posting it, incidentally, Keba? I’m fairly sure it wasn’t there the last time I read the blog last night, and nobody seems to have commented during the eight hours it was open.

No, after I have proposed my fix, I read some comments and then I wanted to propose a Crisis. The “Publish” tab was not open for more than 15 minutes, I think. I dont know whats the Problem with the time there, I proposed it at ~0.30 GMT. Additionally, I have not changed the Date directly.

Kind regards, Keba.

It did not work. I hope this Post will be seenable and right. If it is, the problem will be fixed, I think. If not, well, then its time for blognomic to use a good blog engine *hide*

Wuhuu, works. I think you could ignore this Post then :)

An Yep, even the time is ok. In the Date tab of “Publish” there was 8.02 AM set automatically. Strange, but if it works… Who cares? :)

I assume that’s the timezone of the server, but BlogNomic runs on GMT. So long as you don’t ever try to “correct” the timestamp of your post, everything should be fine.

The server error seems weird and unrelated, though, as it only happened when the flavour text was present in the post. When I sort out server access, I’ll see what that line of EE code is actually trying to do.

And although I said this on IRC, I might as well say it here - it’s a deliberate feature of the blog setup that enacted or failed proposals can’t be commented on. This might just be an arbitrary habit, though, and we could talk about changing it.
