FAQES
-
I stumbled upon this gem last Friday. It seems to be a good premise, but it fails on several levels.
The most glaring problem is the English used throughout the site, if you can call it English.
Error Message: Operation must use an updateable query. Occurs on a page when an event is updating or inserting into a recordset Question: Does your SQL statements that violate referential integrity? No Question: Does your DSN or ODBC has "Read Only" setting checked? No Question: Is your connection mode has sufficient rights to access database? Yes Question: Does your Guest Account IUSR_MACHINE has sufficient privilages to write to a file? Yes Answer: Make sure correct MODE for writing is used when accessing database file
Second, though their visual style seems very similar to a certain search engine colossus, their search is rather ineffective. Searching for the exact string in the error message above, "operation must use an updateable query", yields no results. It looks like they even left some of the original Google HTML in there, in comments.
Third, "FAQES - Contains 21 errors/problems and 136 resolutions". Not exactly comprehensive; but I can let that slide as it seems like a young site.
Last, there's the admin panel link on the front page, where you can go to "manage FAQES expertiese". Somehow, I think they're running short on expertiese.

They also ripped off Google's design.

TRWTF is that they also happen to have Google Ads on the site.

Oh and the variable sq passes a column... Anyone want to bet that their is no injection protection? Shoot it even gives the full error report and a stacktrace.

I think someone thought that you could copy paste the html you get from a site, copy it in your computer and that it would work like the previous website only with your stuff in it. Soon after realizing this is wrong, that person started looking up on how to build a website and found it was actually hard work involving thinking not just the computer reading your mind on what you want it to do.
