Bug in 'Type Fastest'?

Post by subworx »

hi there,

I just tried doing Type Fastest over and over again.
I'm rather sure I got around all the problems in there *g* - but no matter when, how and what I submit, the script *always* returns:

no start time

Is this an actual bug or me doing something wrong?

Thank you guys in advance.

It used to work (not print this error message), but currently it does not (at least not for me).

Some challenges need a full cookie-enabled forum login in order to propagate per-session data from the original challenge, such as start times and what the solution is where it's randomly generated. So just using HTTP GET 'user=' and 'password=' or 'spw=' arguments won't work for those challenges.

I have the same problem in "type faster" (or is that the one you meant?)
No matter what text I submit, or how long it takes me (including the correct text well before time out) I get the "no start time" message.
And no, I don use a GET, I submit the form in the page.

Maybe this is related to all the "session_start()" error messages being displayed.

I wrote a PHP script that gets the content of the page, gets only the right message w/out FOOs and redirects to the page... but everytime it says it's incorrect. why???

I still do'n know why, maybe the redirect changed the words? bah, nevermind... done via javascript
