PING: Any Mod **TAKEAWAY--DO NOT LINK TO OR COPY/PASTE FROM GAWKER SITES**
I think I just murdered this thread with quoting:
Article on Eliminating "Sports Welfare" - Front Office Football Central I can't even get to the post to edit/delete. |

Cool. I don't even need to go to Gawker sites anymore to get fucked over by Kinja.

I think this is a DB error that Ben has to fix. Requires admin rights rather than mod rights.

Something similar happened last week when trying to link to a Gawker site. I guess the takeaway is "don't do that any more." I'll fix it right now.

Oh, and to clarify, it's something with the HTML/Javascript that borks the ability to read the thread at all. Even with the top Admin rights that I have, I can't delete/edit these posts from the front end of vbulletin, so the only option is to go into the database that holds all of the post data that vBulletin uses to display threads and posts, and delete the reference to that post.

Done.
So, to be clear: don't link to or post from Gawker sites. It will break the thread and requires a manual fix from me if I happen to be available.

You know what, I wonder if this has to do with their recent auto-scroll functionality (scroll to bottom of article and the next is loaded).

Didn't Hulk Hogan take over Gawker?

Since I suspect I might not be the ONLY person who didn't realize just how wide the tentacles of that brand actually are. Per Wiki, that would include Quote:
And that lists matches the issues I've seen us have here in the past few days, I know there's been a borked Deadspin link and I think 1-2 of the others as well.

"Gawker" sold off all of its assets, other than the name of the main site, to Univision. The collection of former-Gawker sites (which Jon lays out - there were many verticals) now operates under the Gizmodo Media Group banner. Fusion is also tied to this now and runs off the Kinja platform (as does The Root).

The guy who posted the list just posted a link to Deadspin. Everybody say it with me: "SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON JON!!!!" No boxing, but you have to say 10 "Hail Clintons" as punishment.

Hail Satan x10.
Same diff Yes, I'm mortified by my forgetfulness. It didn't so much as cross my mind what I'd done either ... until about 10 seconds later when I saw the havoc. I've already beaten me up for it way worse than ya'll could but if you wanna pile on for fun I certainly deserve it

Any chance the Gawker site issues are related to the NSA exploit hacks?
