Hey Breger et al.

If you’re running the latest Tor bundle with Privoxy, then all you have to do is change your browser settings so there is no proxy for your wordpress site. In Firefox, this would be under Options->General->Connection Settings->No Proxy For. I had to do this for my wireless router as well, since Privoxy will block that too. You do not have to change any settings in Tor or its bundle programs.

I also get this error on the print screen:
Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /www/hosts/silkworms.chinesetriad.org/wp-blog-header.php on line 469

Hey warpig, I fixed my “oops”, but I’m still confused. Where exactly do I put the ob_end_flush and the include? I put ob_end_flush at the very very end of index.php, which resulted in it being simply printed at the bottom of the page. When placed right after the php code for posts and comments, I got a function_main() error. The include, whereever I put it, also simply gets printed instead of generating html.

Hey warpig, I tried doing as you say above, and then my index page started saying:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /www/hosts/silkworms.chinesetriad.org/index.php on line 173
So I deleted everything I added, and it still says that. Obviously, something went wrong and I’m a PHP newbie… can you lend me a hand? email same as forum name, at yahoo.

it actually works about 95% of the time – the part of the menu that is in the lower right hand corner when you start at the top of the page, that part sometimes flickers – but it’s way way less annoying. It’s all good.

Wow. Thanks a million Craig, that worked… where on Earth did you find that?

Thanks Craig, appreciate it.

Hey Philor, I did go and validate (that was something I’d neglected recently). Now it all checks out, both XHTML1.0 trans and CSS. But the vanishing is still there.

I tried altering hover and just removing it, but it doesn’t work. My version of IE6 (XP, updated) shows the problem; the vanishing links, like I mentioned in my previous posting, are parallel to links in the central text – those seem to affect links on the side menus. I think the problem is the way I’ve written the CSS, but I still don’t know what it is.

whoops, I was wrong. That’s not the right section. My posts display the right time, the RSS feed does not – now I think it’s somewhere in the code of templates_functions.php, like in the_time function cuz RSS appears to use that.
function the_time($d=”, $echo = true) {
global $id, $post, $timeformat;
if ($d==”) {
$the_time = mysql2date($timeformat, $post->post_date);
} else {
$the_time = mysql2date($d, $post->post_date);
}
$the_time = apply_filters(‘the_time’, $the_time);
if ($echo) {
echo $the_time;
} else {
return $the_time;
}
Shouldn’t this incorporate time_difference? Is it already incorporated in the post_date? Why then does my feed say it’s a day off to everyone else?

OK, it has something do with the CSS, because if I hover over a link on the right or left menu, it can vanish. If it does, if I then hover over a link in the center content that is PARALLEL to the links in the menus, then it will reappear.
Here’s the code for the menus and center content, which I obviously screwed something up with:
#centercontent {
background:#fff;
voice-family: “\”}\””;
voice-family: inherit;
margin-left: 201px;
margin-right:201px;
padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
}
#leftcontent {
position: absolute;
left:0px;
top:160px;
width:180px;
background:#fff;
border-right: 1px dotted #ccc;
border-left: solid 2px #565;
padding: 0 10px 0 0;
}
#rightcontent {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top:160px;
width:180px;
background: #fff;
border-left: 1px dotted #ccc;
border-right: solid 2px #565;
padding: 0 0 0 10px;
}
The menu code is basically the default.css stuff.

It’s an IE6 problem. My other problem was also IE6 – I use Opera, and actually to fix my comment box in IE6, I had to use a fieldset command, which in turn does not behave very easily in Opera! The comment box issue used the default wp-comments.php, which means that this might happen to alot of other people.
As for the white thing, I do see it in IE6. It doesn’t happen to my leftmenu, only my right one – which have the same CSS!

I’ll give it a go. Thanks antifuse.

Sorry, extra post: since I’m blogging in China, it might *might* be an issue with GB and Big5, the fonts used for displaying Chinese characters. But I’ve had that on for myself, and it didn’t interfere with comments. Just FYI here.
