I've been curious. Now that the "Edit Page" button has appeared, do you think it's safe to edit a page without getting 405'ed?

Should be.

That did it for me, too, Eddie. (The Corrupt Politician page image was the only one I was reliably not getting, and it's there now.) Thanks.

Oooops. Whatever, the one from the Simpsons. It's there now.

So, nobody's getting 405'd while trying to post? :/

I'm going to post this link again, to educate those who are confused about the art of cache-clearing.

In fact, is it possible to add this to the thread header?

I have cleared the cache, cookies, and history. Both my iPod and my laptop are still getting 405 errors. I can get around them, obviously enough, but they're still an annoyance.

So, I was finally able to edit a page just fine without any problems of getting 405'd. I was just lucky, I guess. wink

I just got hit with a 405 a second ago, but after a minute or so I was able to get the edit through.

No idea what could cause a 405 in this case. It means that the POST method is not allowed, for some reason. Will study on it.

So for those not following the Tech forum thread: this is also the cause of two other errors you may notice:

  • some crowners to do the math/counting wrong
  • some tropers cannot give hats in YKTTW

For the curious, I blogged about this, from the perspective that DDOS'ing a site like TV Tropes discredits hacktivism as a force for positive social change.

I have been noticing "hiccups" lately with load times for the site for both fora and wiki. I am thinking this is likely on just my end at this computer.

Could it possibly be from mischief aimed at the site?

I've not noticed anything about site performance. If anything, the last few weeks have been better than usual.

Probably just the connection I am coming through then.

As I said in another thread, probably once the DDoS is over. And we don't know when that will happen.

As I said in my blog post the other day, someone is devoting a ridiculous amount of effort to it proportional to the slight they perceive us to have inflicted. There's no telling when the expense (in whatever terms it's counted) of the attack will exceed what its sponsors are willing to pay. There's also been a surge in new accounts created for the purpose of vandalism. So we will just have to see.
