[This Is Good] script bug

February 11, 2003 1:50 PM

This may not be strictly a Mefi bug, but...
I wanted to use the [This Is Good] script for the first time today, on this thread, and found the following error message:

"Sorry, something's broken.

Don't know why, but this script has stopped adding new posts to the database, and I'm too busy with Christmas right now to figure it out. I'll work on it soon after the Holidays, I promise. Sorry!

So, all the other users of that script - in that thread and others - I guess it ain't doing what ya thought, sadly. Is it something on the Mefi end thats causing it to freak out?

I'd call it ... serendipity!

Wow, I guess it's a little late to still be claiming the Holidays as an excuse, isn't it?

Thanks for the reminder -- I sat down and figured out the problem. Something really minor had changed on the MeFi side, and my screen-scraping code broke.

Everything's working just fine now. Feel free to start voting for your favorite MeFi posts again, everyone!
