Arkansas Blog

I have never had the TypeKey/sign-in problem, but as of THIS access (using the current Version of Mozilla Firefox) the FORMAT of the blog has shifted to "list" mode - just as it did about the time the changes were originally made a couple of weeks ago.

The screen/display is NOT "formatted" into columns as usual, but full-page, with the first thing displayed being the long list of Archive hotlinks... This must, in some way, be related, as I've made NO changes to anything on this end during the entire process.

Just FYI...

Knocking on wood, so far today is better. And we must continue to remember that really loud bitching about a free service is bad form. Yes, I can say that calmly today....so far.

The lag you describe is being felt out here too. It would really be nice if you had some software that allowed us to include URLs right in the body of the comment.

I was able to post something last night. Let's see if this works.

O happy day!

No offense to you, kretara, but I wish there was a "Test" thread, only, and everybody could do their cotton pickin' testing THERE. I bet RC has run a hundred tests on danged near every thread in the past week or so.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick!!

I am unable to post via XP SP2/FF 2.0.0.18 at all. Even with NoScript disabled.
I had to dust off IE6 to post this which is scary since IE is for the uninformed masses only and as a long time IT person it scares the pooh out of me to use IE.
WFT kind of ass backwards company is this anyway?

Max, the AR Times should not accept the excuse about moving from typekey to typepad. If this is the same company, as it appears to be, it was/is their responsibility to test their code before putting it into production. AFAIAK, the AR Times should be withholding payment based on breach of service.

Sorry DurangoKid, I've been trying to figure out a way to post since noon.
I'm one of those IT troubleshooter types, so when I see crap like this happening my first reaction is to try and figure out what is happening and what variables contribute to a failure.

From googling about typepad problems/issues, it seems that anyone unfortunate enough to be using typepad is having the same/similar issues.

My impression is that the login problem is not affecting other Movable Type sites, but migrating to a different blogging system seems like a good idea anyway. The current system is a nuisance for things like posting links.

As noted a few days ago, deleting some arktimes.com cookies like "tk_commenter" and "commenter_name" from the web browser cache may help. It worked for me.

Another thing to check, per the TypeKey API docs: the system clock on the web server should be synchronized precisely with Network Time Protocol to match the TypeKey server's clock.
