Information about Yaics crash on quitter.se (and possibly other servers).
Yaics has crashed because of unknown issues with some servers, quitter.se users has been reporting this for a while. It caught my attention again today when it was reported by another user, I tested with my test account, and I was finally able to reproduce the issue.
It's the 'parseuser' function, this function returns as integer, which is your (or other's) ID on the server. when I checked my own ID it failed on quitter.se - but works fine at quitter.no. When the ID is less then '0' or not valid we throw a error, this caused yaics to just crash without any information. So to resolve this I have now checked in a fix that at least informs the user that it cannot get the ID from the server. And it points them to the bugtracker here.
To see this 'id' tag to on these links (when you have a account on both servers): https://quitter.no/api/account/verify_credentials.xml https://quitter.se/api/account/verify_credentials.xml You then see the XXX tag is correct on quitter.no but not on quitter.se.
I will try and get a hold of the admin for quitter.se , see if we can work something out. because we do need this for yaics. And to me it seems to be no reason not to have the ID's showing up as they do on other instances.
