    Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dan Boger
   I just finished working a new feature that I think people were asking for. Basically, it's the ability to check and authorize all the posts you have pending with one click. I think it's all done and working, but if you want to try it out, please (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp) !

     (...) Well, it works on spamblocked e-mail addresses (those set up at posting setup) not the unblocked addresses that people usually think of as their addresses. That is somewhat counter-intuitive. And since I have yet to receive the e-mail that (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
    
         Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dan Boger
     (...) Ouch, good point. I don't use a spamblock, so I didn't think of that. Hmmm. I might have to think on this a little. (...) Yes, it would be sent there. That's not right. I'll see if I can fix this later today. (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

     (...) Ok, I think I have a good fix for this in place. Try it now (with new posts)? Thanks! Dan (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

     (...) Lets see how it goes this time. (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

     (...) Erm.. well... "An internal server error occurred: Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at (eval 1) line 24. " This appears to happen regardless of whether there is a pending email or not. (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
    
         Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dan Boger
     (...) Well, that's no good. Can you reproduce that? How did you get there? I'm assuming you approved some posts first? LMK! (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
    
         Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dean Earley
     (...) I happened as soon as i visited the link in the email, and happened every time i tried. I have just tried again, and it works. Is there still a delay between them being posted and them appearing in the list? (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
    
         Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dan Boger
     (...) Hmm. Let me know if happens again. (...) Shouldn't be anymore, no. (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
   
        Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dean Earley
     (...) I'll give it a go. (ps, this is a multipurpose post to test with :) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
    
         Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dean Earley
     (...) Well... There are no pending posts for 'dean@earlsoft.co.uk'. What is the spamblocked address Thomas mentioned? (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
    
         Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dan Boger
     (...) Basically some people enter a fake email address to be shown on their posts, so that spam bots won't be able to harvest their address. They "hide" the real address - instead of saying "dan@example.com" it would say something like (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
   
        Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta* —Dan Boger
   (...) ... (...) Cool then. I'll update the auth emails with this link, and perhaps we could ask one of the curators to add links on the appropriate sidebars. (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
