I really dont get this one.

Now it has become a test of will, to never sign in again:

OK, we all check our logs, but just out of interest and for a laugh what is your strangest actual referral string in recent times.

Found one in passing today that got me thinking:

When did birdseye change the name of chicken nuggets to dippers?

At the time of writing, this was a #2 spot.

So go on, if you can be bothered tell me your weirdest referrals.

cheers

Until wordpress can sort out the way they deal with categories they will never be able to handle the sort of sites people really need. The way categories are handled is fine if you only have a few. But if you have a need for multiple and several depths of categories, for example Countries > Counties > Towns without the system dying in the process they just don’t cut it!

There are two main problems, the first is the front end. When, as I did the other week write a little script to import UK counties and towns (about 2700 nested in various numbers) it nearly croaked my dev box, as it tries to display all of the categories. Now before you jump in my face saying write a “show only child plugin”, I started that, but then came the second round of pain.

That pain came in the form the way the categories and posts are handled in the admin. That’s right, when editing a post or getting someone to add articles for you based on your hierarchy the system tries to nest them all, in those little tick boxes, see below.

Now this system, unlike the front end didn’t nearly croak my system, it gave it the biggest hiding of it’s poor life (apart from other dodgy scripts of mine ). The problem with stuff in the admin, is it can’t really be frigged with as it is the sort of thing that will get overwritten during an update.

So come on WordPress, allow us to have 1000′s of categories and make the world a better place?

Personally I think it is super easy to do this sort of stuff, I do fear for the spammers who have been using profile building bots to make thousands of fake profiles. Lets hope they cover their tracks, this is getting heavy (if you have ever been through those doors you know how serious it can be).

About time really. I don’t trust anyone on there. It is definitely “buyer beware”. But then if you really think you can get a Luis Vuitton bag for £3 you are a bit of a muppet anyway.
