[00:41] <blast_hardcheese> So, what's the deal with ubuntuforums requiring registration?
[00:48] <blast_hardcheese> Anyone?
[02:42] <jdong> blast_hardcheese: only the forum archive and attachments require registration
[02:42] <jdong> the reason the archive requires registration was meant to be to hide it from  Google and other search engines
[02:42] <jdong> though it seems to be a royal pain in the ass to convince them to stop believing they have those pages indexed now
[02:43] <jdong> we were asked by the Kernel Team, along with other teams, to do this, because Google kept on turning up out of date and inaccurate HOWTO's for common search terms
[03:19] <blast_hardcheese> jdong: blarg. That makes sense, but should probably be explained on the "ACCESS DENIED" page so it doesn't just make you guys look like jerks
[03:22] <jdong> blast_hardcheese: yeah, we didn't expect that many users to hit it. We thought it'd be a transient thing
[03:22] <jdong> we trusted Google's magic-ness :)
[03:22] <jdong> and ugh, that "access denied" page is stupid. But it's vBulletin default. I'll see if any of our web templates people want to update the wording
[03:25] <blast_hardcheese> Much appreciated :)
[05:57] <NonConformist> I'm trying to do a frugal install on my pc and right when it starts copying files the installer crashes... help me please ^^

[21:57] <Aquix> BHSPitMo1key-  because it's archived?  click show full version
[21:57] <BHSPitMo1key> Aquix: no, I literally see a blank white page
[21:57] <Aquix> hmmmm. works here 
[21:57] <BHSPitMo1key> like you might expect to see in the case of a php error
[21:58] <Aquix> I'm sure your logged in 
[21:58] <Aquix> right?
[21:59] <BHSPitMo1key> Aquix: yes
[22:00] <Aquix> firefox?
[22:00] <BHSPitMo1key> yes, though I also tried epiphany
[22:00] <BHSPitMo1key> and now chrome, same issue
[22:01] <BHSPitMo1key> (mind you, I'm not logged in under either of those browsers)
[22:01] <Aquix> try empty the browser cache
[22:01] <Aquix> and restart firefox
[22:04] <BHSPitMo1key> Aquix: well as I said, I'm producing the same problem in three very different browsers on this machine...
[22:04] <BHSPitMo1key> yet other threads I've tried work
