Staying Logged In and Email Confirmations at TPM
We have recently done some work on the TPM backend to improve the login and email delivery systems. You should always receive confirmation emails from us when you sign up for an account or change your password, and you shouldn't be logged out when browsing the site, leaving comments and posting to Reader Blogs within one session. Though we've tried to squash as many of these bugs as we can find, I'd like to know what your experience has been in the past few weeks. Please leave a comment here if you're still seeing either of these issues.

I have noted an improvement. Also, I've noticed that if I log in on this page, it actually shows up that I've logged in on the front page too. A big improvement. Thanks!

In the past few days, I have encountered these technical glitches on a few occasions, and thankfully, all have now been resolved to my satisfaction. Thus, My Thanks! for your hard work.

Thank you for your efforts!
One glitch I have noticed is: if I began to post before logging in and I go back up and press the login at the top, when I scroll back down to press the submit button both the preview button and submit button are not showing.
I copy my post, reload the page, and then past my post. Just a small hassle but it could cause some aggravation as most are not in the habit of copying as I must while using my bush alaska provider-means slow.

Thanks for asking, Al.
Here's a problem I'm having: When users post a video in their blogs (or perhaps other content), I often cannot read beyond the inserted video. At that point, I see only a box with a little red X in the upper left corner, and everything below the inserted video is not accessible, including the Comments section.
This has happened most recently on Ripper McCord's blog, on two posts referencing the movie "Health Care in Black and White":

I use a Gateway PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.
Thanks again.

Switching over to Google Chrome for my browser, I was able to see the embedded video. FWIW. Would be nice if the unwashed masses using IE could see everything. But I'll likely switch to using the Chrome, at least for this site.

Make sure IE8 is set to "standards mode," not compatibility mode. "Compatibility Mode" makes IE8 behave like IE7 and all the old bugs come along with it.
October 21, 2009 9:05 AM | Reply | Permalink
This happens because of an improperly constructed link reference. The ill-constructed reference makes IE8 say screw this from the security end of things. IE8 is actually rated number one by security analysts and hardcore hacker / tester types, and what is happening here is a result of that. IE8 thinks (properly) it is being hi-jacked and thus won't load the page beyond the point of the offending link. I have checked the code many times for the pages that don't render correctly and they all have some manner of error in a link refererence.
This is very easy to confirm.
If you take the pages with the messed up code and run them through the W3C Markup Validator page it will identify the coding error. Every time it is an improperly constructed link. This is easy to avoid by creating the link references correctly.
From a professional perspective and from the standpoint of protecting users from being hi-jacked I prefer the more strict adherence as described by the W3C standards body which defines the construct. Microsoft follows this practice with the latest iteration of Internet Explorer (IE8) for the simple reason that maliciously constructed pages have become a scourge on the web.
This may all sound too geeky by half but it's actually very basic stuff. The bottom line is when it's done correctly it always works as anticipated.

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.children health

I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.by healthy families and child health plus

I just logged in via the home page of TPM; clicked on Your Blog; clicked on Comments; tried to follow up in a thread, and found that my login was not present for that thread. However, it was available to follow up to this thread by using the link to it, also under the Comments tab.

It seems isolated to TPM Live Wire; that is the only place in the whole site I can see that does not receive the information about my login via the home page of TPM. Additionally, I don't see a link to TPM Live Wire from anywhere; I can only find TPM Live Wire by going to my blog, and following a link via Comments to a thread in Live Wire. Maybe I'm not seeing the link to it. But Live Wire is definitely not seeing my login via TPM's home page.
