> A page suggesting the potential contributor is accused trying to hack > us. Not helpful. That depends. We get far more people trying to attack the site than contributors, 20534 since 2015-02-05_06-31-06Z to be exact. So if some of them are interested, who am I to stop them submitting a show.
> It's been suggested I use a "real" browser (as the two most popular > with the public are apparently not enough). The suggestion to use a "real" browser was intended at humour. The only difference between a "modern" browser (one that supports html5), and any other browser is that it will enforce the "required field" options. For any other browser there is an asterisk next to required fields that must be filled in. The site is intentionally designed to support every browser. Let me say that again: *every* browser. If there is a problem with *any* browser, then it is a bug and should be reported with as much information as possible. Daves analysis of the workflow is correct. Basically upload one show at a time from the same session and you'll be fine. Deviate from that and you'll flag an alarm and get blocked. There are currently 67 different checks in place to ensure that the form is filled in correctly and that someone is not trying to crack the site. As a guest on this server, I feel I have a responsibility to ensure that we prevent as much misuse as possible. So in short so long as you fill those fields in, you'll be fine, if you don't it will be flagged as suspicious activity and you will be blocked for at least 24 Hours. If you do get blocked then email me, with the exact steps you were doing, including browser, urls, error messages, times etc. The FTP server is still there as an upload method if you prefer. You can get the username and password, simply by reserving a slot via the web form and selecting upload via ftp :) Ken. _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
