Kevin's Watch

Just a heads up guys, the hosts are moving servers around, so we might have some down-time. And if you get an SSL error, just accept teh risk and continue (usually under the "Advanced" option on the error page, that needs to be re-configured.

As always, I encourage you to join the Discord so that you can keep in touch when this kind of thing happens.

Just tell us who you are when you join, if you use a different name to here.

Seems like all ('all' meaning 'universally across the Watch') "special" or "oddball" ASCII characters have been replaced with "�".

However, newly posted ones — such as "ò" or "Ü" or "…" — clear the bar with room to spare.

Thank you, Avatar and Vain, for making KevinsWatch possible.

So... we've gone from HTTPS back to HTTP?

Not that I have the slightest idea what I'm talking about, but isn't that less secure than it was before?

Eh, something weird, It's HTTPS until I log in. Might have something to do with the logged-in version or maybe the session ID. Have let Vain know.

FWIW it really doesn't matter, it's not like anybody is putting their credit card details in or anything. It's more pandering to browsers that have decided to frighten people with warnings.

LOL, I don't really do anything apart from bombard Vain with messages whenever something is wrong.

(Oh, edited to add: Seems the site is having a problem sending email notifications to people who have subscribed to a thread. If you get an error saying "Had problems sending mail" you can ignore it, just means somebody in the thread is subscribed, and the site can't send a mail. Your post will still go through.)

Oh...interestingly, if I log in by clicking "reply" while logged out, the SSL "error" doesn't happen.

It's only if I log in on the index page.

Yeah. I see this, too.

When you click the login button, you get redirected to the index page (good) with the Session ID (good), but the index page URL has an HTTP scheme (bad).

Having some issues posting - some kind of 'debug' error code - never seen it before but it's happened twice today. Once it went of it's own accord, second time I simply couldn't post my post.

Bound to be a few issues with the switch. Needed to set it up on a VPS as the shared hosts wouldn't touch this code with a 10 foot barge pole.

I think the SSL is sorted - I set it to force SSL redirect and my warning went away.

If you're having an error message pop up, please stick a screenshot of it in your post.

I can't do anything about the weird characters not showing correctly sorry

Also not entirely sure what's happening with the email thing but will check it out

I have no idea what:

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 550 R1: HELO should be a FQDN or address literal (See RFC 2821 4.1.1.1)

actually means

OK let's see if that worked....

Vain! Been a month of Sundays!

Funny. I got the same Mail thing. But it still posted what I told it to post.

Been a long time I know Life is a whirlwind!

Indeed it is.

Trying a suggestion

Getting there

Nope

Well I think that fixes the eror message but not sure if email notifications are sent
