Scratchpad confusion

I just noticed that when viewing my homenode, if I click on "view" link for my public scratchpad, I'm actually shown my private scratchpad.

Apologies if this is a known issue, but a quick search didn't reveal anything (maybe I was searching for the wrong terms?) and was nonplussed to see my private scratchad on display for all to see. (even though inpedendent confirmation showed that wasn't the case).

Anyone care to tell me if either A) it's a PEBKAC issue or B) a real problem?

For those interested (and at the suggestion of demerphq: the rendered markup is:

<td><a href="?node_id=523114">View</a>,
<a href="?viewmode=public;displaytype=edit;node_id=523114">Edit</a>,
<a href="?viewmode=private;node_id=523114">View Private</a>,
<a href="?viewmode=private;displaytype=edit;node_id=523114">Edit Priva
+te</a></td>

Clearly, my "viewmode" is defaulting to "private" regardless of my intentions.

I am not experiencing this issue. When I view my public scratchpad, I see the Perl implementation of `tree` that I put there a few days ago as a result of a discussion in the chatterbox. When I view my private scratchpad, I see the Windows batch file that I put there months and months ago. your public scratchpad seems to contain something about XP and Javascript, and a couple of obfuscations-in-progress. Incidentally, your home node contains various apparent leakages; upon visiting it I see, among other things, what appears to be CSS styling with its whitespace not preserved, and a bit further down what appears to be Javascript source with its whitespace not preserved. If this is how the node is intended to appear, there's no indication in the text of the node as to why that content would be there. Sanity? Oh, yeah, I've got all kinds of sanity. In fact, I've developed whole new kinds of sanity. Why, I've got so much sanity it's driving me crazy.	[reply] [d/l]

If you have enabled the "Filter HTML of monks' homenodes" then any CSS, IMG, or Scripting on the page will be rendered as plain text. If you disable this mode then it will work. Be warned that surfing the site without this setting enabled is a security risk. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

I get similar results. I get to view the last scratchpad i was viewing. So if i click the link, then click view public scratchpad i see my public one, and going back to my homenode and clicking the link agian takes me to my public one. If i repeat and click view private scratch pad, then from my home node i get to my private one. Its not realy a worry either way because regardless, your private one IS private. ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]
