Nothing comes up when I search Inc in tags
Desiderius Price replied to a topic in Archive Tech Support
SOME SQL statements, even if they seem read-only, might be generating an internal “temporary” database table. Normally, not an issue because its so short lived that it likely isn’t even written out to disk, however, it can mean innocuous seeming searches won’t work when the database is in read-only mode. Another possibility is much more restrictive filtering of search terms from user input… SQL injections can be tough to fix without a lot of inspection of the code, it’ll take time. -

Given the SQL injection issues, I’d suspect that any wildcards would be rejected (at least until its all fixed). -
Okay, okay, new story idea, should be short enough so that it doesn’t feel like I’m cramming a novel in as a “oneshot”.

Apparently, the odds of a surprise birth is 1 one 2500 (this is where the mother’s unaware she’s pregnant until labor/baby shows up). Something I’m researching as I’m reconsidering my existing WIP halloween story.

It’s not like the first one was a bad idea, it simply had enough moving parts that a oneshot wouldn’t do it justice. Even my hairbrained idea to “reformat” a multi-chapter story into a single one-shot wasn’t going to cut it anywhere under 45k. So, the MC gets a reprieve and his sentence won’t be carried out immediately.

I’m just shuddering at the thought of a stealth pregnancy. It’s bad enough when you know about it.

Giving you a spook even BEFORE I post the story, that’s cool

I’m crossing my fingers hoping it’ll all be fine and dandy when it comes time to post the Halloween stories!

Cracking up as I’m working on my Halloween story…

Well played, though I’m now dabbling with Toby’s characterization (intended main character for my story)

Sure, think I can finish this in time for halloween...2024!

Plenty of resources online to explain what SQL Injection is, and the password requirements of the archive suggest that it’s vulnerable. (Google up “Little Bobby Drop Tables” for comics of it.) Anyways, the fix requires Manta2g to check every line of SQL and rewrite how the PHP is passing in data (changing string concatenation to the parameter-passing API). It’ll take time and I doubt this is her day job. In the meanwhile, be patient and understand this even freezes the hit-counters in place

I started writing one story ages ago, wondered how they (the characters) got there. So, started another story to answer that, the flashbacks started to confuse everybody, so I started to spin those flashbacks out as separate stories. I’ve only finished one of those flashbacks, working on backstory to one of those flashbacks. And this Halloween story will shoehorn into the same universe. If only I had taken the blue pill...

Biggest threat to my Halloween story is ending up in the novel section.

Trying to focus at work, but my mind’s wanting to write my Halloween story instead! Oh, the torture.
