TargetTalk Website

Greetings,

I am unable to post any comments nor personal messages on TargetTalk.

TargetTalk

Any other users having the same issues?

I also notice that the dates on the old posts have not updated.

Cheers,

Dave

I have been having the same issues. The forum interface has changed on mine as well. I can log in to my account but not much more.

Yeah, something is weird with the site

I just tried to post a reply and the input box to enter the text is not visible. I inspected it with Web Inspector and found that the HTML there is broken - instead of tag "textarea name=..." it says "textareaname=..." - i.e. the space is missing. I edited it inline and was able to enter my response  So bottom line, apparently somebody introduced a bug there.
If you know how to use Web Inspector in Safari or a similar feature in other browsers, you can fix it locally and post the message or reply

javaduke, you might want to offer your help to Pilkguns. They're running the TargetTalk site as a favor, and don't spend a lot of time or money on it. Clearly, something happened around noon on Wednesday. At least the database appears to be intact!

Greetings javaduke,

I found the misspelled string as you mentioned.

Able to insert a space.

However, what does one do next to save it?

Cheers,

Dave

Send email to admins  ? Contact Us is the only form that seems to work on TT

Somebody can write a script to auto-fix these pages, but I think fixing root cause is more efficient

[I just posted on TT, and discovered this thread only later]

In the meantime, for chrome one can install Tampermonkey extension, and add custom script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Targettalk Hack
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       UnGe
// @match        http://targettalk.org/*
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=tampermonkey.net
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    document.body.innerHTML=document.body.innerHTML.replace(/textareaname/g,"textarea name");
})();

Maybe the Russians hacked the site.

Yes, this only works for the local copy, but in order to be fixed the website source code needs to be updated. I'm not sure who's in charge of the Targettalk forum, otherwise I would contact that person.

The targettalk.org site appears to be back up and running as of now.
