Today, we roll out the OSNews Meta Blog. We are trying something new. Whereas OSNews proper is moderated and logged, the OSNews Meta Blog is here solely to discuss the site, without bombing an unrelated news thread. It's unmoderated, anonymous, and, perhaps best of all.... XHTML compliant. For details, please visit this post.

Possible bug

I emailed this to Adam, so sorry for "cross-posting" (sort of), but it's a weird bug.

"I've been trying to post a comment in the article "Moderation: Ain't What it Should Be", but can not.

Using Opera and Firefox, I get "You did not correctly confirm the text in the image" every single time. With IE, it simply says "Cannot display the page".

I posted earlier fine, and since it does this across browsers, I have a feeling there's something on the server end."

It's a browser bug. IE can't display a URL that long. I will have to change the app to not pass that much info in a URL.

I should have it ironed out tomorrow. Try using Firefox, it will work. You should be using Firefox anyway

I said that I tried firefox, same problem as Opera. It's not a browser issue.

And don't tell me to use Firefox, I'm a diehard Opera user damn it! <shakes fist>
