Gift subscriptions from ACs (Anonymous Cowards) are working again. If you're curious what was broken, have a look.
If you attempted to make a gift subscription as an AC since early to mid May, and received an error, please try again at: https://soylentnews.org/subscribe.pl (Or click the link in the "Navigation" Slashbox).
As is standing SN policy, martyb is to blame for anything warranting blame. =) You can go about your business. Move along.

Of course not - but a subscription would be nice.

The commit log states an expression of having a lesser intelligence (aka being dumb), but I beg to differ.
It is more likely to be an honest mistake while the brain was farting in the wrong direction. So, a "brainfart" statement would be appropriate to be issued here.
For those of us who do not code may not understand that the simple coding things just go wrong once in a while. We all suffer from this. Then again, who is immune in other occupations from making an obvious mistake? Even if the person in question should know better.
So, I hereby declare the committer as not being stupid and mentally replace the commit log message with "Brainfart happened.".

I used it today to gift a subscription to the one, the only, MDC.

When viewing my comment history, is there a GET or POST parameter I can use to get more comments per page? Being able to search would also be useful.
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.
