Team drive #1: k=400-1001 n=333.2K-600K

I can't possibly figure out what I could have done to cause it to lose 90% of the info. Perhaps I accidentally deleted or changed the "[/code]" at the end of one of the boxes? I've done that before and all of the proper spacing is lost. It's a nuisance to get it back the way it was but the data is always all still there; just in poor looking format with few of the lines lining up properly.

I haven't a clue what caused it so I have no way to be "more careful" when editing it. lol

One thought: Max, is there any possibility that both you and I were trying to edit it at the same time and somehow stepped on each other?

With how it was truncated, I'd guess that what happened is someone clicked Submit to edit it, but for some reason the communication was cut short a little in to the prime list. It wasn't as simple as a missing [/code] tag. After Max restored it from the log, things weren't lining up correctly because apparently the log doesn't store multiple spaces inside code tags correctly.

No, there's no way we could have both been editing it at the same time. First of all, I wasn't on at all at 4 AM my time (which is roughly when you made the problematic edit.)

My best guess as to what happened is something along the lines of what Mini-Geek described. Which is quite believable, since you're connecting from a hotel internet connection, and those can sometimes be less reliable than yours at home. And there's probably no way to prevent it in that case, now that I think about it; the best you can do is to carefully look over the newly-edited post once it loads after you click "Submit". (I always do this after editing a post.)

[gd_barnes]

Yep, I'm connecting from a hotel room but I hadn't had the connection drop yet. Oh well, yeah, that sounds like the most plausible explanation. While I'm out of town, what I think I'll do is copy-and-paste it into a Notepad document before editing it and then verify it afterwords.

I understand the edit log now. I never knew about that...interesting stuff. It's nice to know that we can get a prior version of a post back like that. Thank gish for the edit log and thanks for fixing it Max!

Oh, one more thing: when copying and pasting it into Notepad, be sure to copy the "full code" version of the post, i.e. including all the bbCode tags that define formatting. You can get to that by clicking the little button on the top-right corner of the post composition box (as shown in the attached screenshot); that button toggles between the "enhanced interface" and "standard interface". This will ensure that all formatting is kept.

For example, if I just copy and past ethis text from the beginning of the 1st post of this thread from the edit box normally, into Notepad, and then back here, I get this:

This is team drive #1 for No Prime Left Behind. We will be searching all 400 < K <= 1001 for n=333.2K to 600K.

Karsten (kar_bon) has created a web page here that shows details for the drive. He also maintaines a site that has almost all known Riesel primes. There is a page for the range of 300<k<2000 here. The ranges searched and primes found from this project will be shown there.

Two excellent LLRnet server will be processing a large part of the range. For general info. on setting up and running the servers see this thread. The info. specific to the servers that needs to be entered into your llr-clientconfig.txt file is:

#1
server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 400

As you can see, all the links and smilies have been zapped. And if there were any [code], [quote], or formatting tags in there, then it would be even worse.

However, if I copy and paste the version including the full bbCode into Notepad, it looks like this in Notepad:

[color=black][font=Verdana]This is team drive #1 for No Prime Left Behind. We will be searching all 400 < K <= 1001 for n=333.2K to 600K.[/font][/color]

He also maintaines a site that has almost all known Riesel primes. There is a page for the range of 300<k<2000 [url="http://www.rieselprime.org/Data/00300.htm"]here[/url]. The ranges searched and primes found from this project will be shown there.

The info. specific to the servers that needs to be entered into your llr-clientconfig.txt file is:

#1
server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 400

And then it looks like this in the forum once you paste it into the edit box and submit it (or if you hit the "Preview Post" button):

This is team drive #1 for No Prime Left Behind. We will be searching all 400 < K <= 1001 for n=333.2K to 600K.

Much better--this time all the formatting has remained intact.

Taking 587.4-588.0 for C443 server.

[gd_barnes]

Yours truly on the CRUS project beat NPLB to a prime for Riesel base 16. (lol) Therefore I'm now showing 739*2^591681-1 as a known prime in the 1st post of this thread.

It's strange how close the 2 projects were to finding that same prime.

Brucifer is back?

I urgently need more work to C443, Lennart is on fire!

Okay, I'll email you 595K-600K shortly...

Edit: Done.

[em99010pepe]

Thank you. It's in.
