[21:50] <CoJaBo-Aztec> it didn't get fixed then, I'm not convinced it'll get fixed this time either lol
[21:53] <any13504517> will you be saying that on the forum, to set the record straight?
[21:54] <CoJaBo-Aztec> nobody seems to care
[21:54] <any13504517> so say that too
[21:55] <any13504517> can i post this conversation?

Due to the time difference between here and the US, I'm not sure when the above conversation took place. If 'CoJaBo' is talking about his post in this thread about creating a REDIRECT for the openEuphoria.org site, then I'm a bit puzzled because I did respond to that post.
About the REDIRECT, CoJaBo has a habit of complaining about things on IRC but not taking them anywhere else (such as this forum or the dev list) where they'll get heard. So, anyone who is not on IRC (or is on IRC but does not have time to review the entire channel's conversations for the day every day) won't hear about it.
In that sense, his frustration at getting listened to is understandable. Still, I feel he could be a bit smarter about this. (On the other hand, I seem to recall that CoJaBo had filed a ticket on the domain name issue, but I'm not sure.)
If this is correct, then I share your confusion as when CoJaBo said this, you had already made the post asking for help and offering your email address. It's possible CoJaBo simply had not read your post yet, however.
Also, CoJaBo did claim that, for some of the euweb bugs I fixed, he had found and reported over a year ago. I don't recall this but it was probably CoJaBo talking to Jeremy over IRC in that case. It's possible Jeremy noted it but forgot and never got around to fixing it.
It's also possible that this bug was fixed, but that it was present in multiple places and only one spot was ever fixed. For example, CoJaBo told me about this bug:
http COLON SLASH SLASH oe.cowgar.com SLASH %3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27pwned%27%29%3C/script%3E/.wc
Which I fixed on the test forum. But the CoJaBo found the same bug again on the test forum:
http COLON SLASH SLASH demonology.redirectme.net SLASH search/results.wc?s="><script>alert('pwned')</script>&news=1&ticket=1&forum=1
Which I fixed again on the test forum, but in a different part of the code.
In this case, CoJaBo may be wondering when the fixes for this bug will be uploaded to oe.cowgar.com - or he may be wondering how many other parts of the code will need to be fixed before this bug is eradicated.
