Apologies for waste of bandwidth but I don't know how else to get the
message through (posted to RTL and to lugnet.market.auction)
Petra Fenzl, customer services/membership sent a message out that there
is a domain name resolution problem, and gave alternates. If you're a
member, you got it so I won't reproduce it here.
I tried, and failed, because of the domain problem, to send the
following note... if any SeriousCollector staff is reading this, think
about it:
Petra, thanks for your suggestion but it's not going to cut it, because
most
pages that you would start from have the full path embedded in their
URLs.
Hence, users can't use any of the functionality (for example, I can't
log in
because the action=submit clause has a full path URL instead of
relative, so
it fails)
You might want to consider regenerating all the pages (if you didn't do
them
by hand) using relative pathing, or pathed to one of the domains that is
known to be working.
If you're not already using content generation technology and have been
doing it by hand, check out "chainsaw" which is a macro preprocessor for
html, or other similar technology.
( check it out here, it's by fellow CTPer Bill Birch:

(if you're not clear what I'm getting on about, pass this note on to
Bev)

ALSO.. please consider freezing the hammers on auctions about to close,
these auctions should NOT advance from G2 to sold while communication
problems exist

For me: No voyager e-mail please. All snail-mail to Ada, please.
- Posting Binaries to RTL causes flamage... Don't do it, please.
- Stick to the facts when posting about others, please.
- This is a family newsgroup, thanks.

| Larry, Thanks for the advice - we didn't catch the relative pathing issue until too late :-( Here's the update, though... UPDATE: The domain name registration authority informed us that due to recent changes in the administrative control of internet (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
