Is there a tutorial on troubleshooting non-functioning sites?

I am aware that tutorials have been created but I don't know where they are or how worthy.

I know this config will break things. In some cases, it's supposed to break things rather than allow unwanted behavior.

liquidcompass, something like

Code:

player.liquidcompass.net/  $SET(0=i_level:2.0.a_flash.a_adfn1.)
maps.gstatic.com/ &$OHDR(referer: player.liquidcompass.net/)  $SET(0=a_web.)
maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js &$OHDR(referer: player.liquidcompass.net/) $SET(0=a_web.)

allows http://player.liquidcompass.net/XHDKFM to play . The access to google appeared to be required, which might be enough to cause me to use another player.

theblaze.com, thanks, I would never have went there without your post. theblaze front page is broken more often than the other sites I've seen this at.
It is a big page and they are trying to load it as needed. We are injecting scripts and all are not always playing nice, I think.

Works for me after

Code:

www.theblaze.com/(^?) $SET(0=a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target.)

I guessed script problem, saw that it worked light mode, and then added keywords to disable modifications enabled by using other levels.

If you think you are seeing this often you could try adding something like

Code:

$SET(keyword=$GET(keyword)a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target.)
    $LOG(VGET $DTM(c) : Silent Keywords:a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target.)(^)
~$SET(keyword=$GET(keyword)a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target.)
    $LOG(VGET $DTM(c) : Silent Keywords:a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target.)(^)

which should always add the keywords a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target.

A filter is probably better though

Code:

[Patterns]
Name = "Add a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target. (fail) [add]"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TST(hCT=*html)$SET(1=a_noprint.i_popup_b:2.i_button_b:0.i_timer:0.a_target.)$SET(keyword=$GET(keyword)\1)$LOG(VGET $DTM(c) : Silent Keywords: \1)$LOG(VGET $DTM(c) : All Keywords: $GET(keyword))PrxFail$TST()"
Limit = 1
Match = "$STOP()"

Better yet would be to 'fix' our scripts.

Careful. In "Block/Modify: Sel. JS Methods 10.09.07 [sd] (d.r)" the 'r' means required.

I'm not sure I understand. Perhaps "<a>...: Replace blank/new 10.10.16 (multi) [pr sd] (d.1 l.3)" which can be disabled.

HTH
