When you update server settings on the config page (eg: to disable it), Sab appears to attempt to validate the host name of the server in order to help you ensure your settings are correct. This is obviously a useful feature, however if you do not have a fully working nameserver available (ie: you are inside a corporate firewall that does not resolve external hosts), you cannot save any settings since the validation/name resolution fails.
This is the error message and the only input button on the error page is "Back", but your setting change is NOT saved.
Incorrect parameter
Server address "news.someserver.com:119" is not valid.
As a suggestion/resolution, change the error page to something more meaningful, but also change the "Back" button to a "Save anyway?" type of question to ignore the error and apply the setting change anyway.
Oh, and the HTML for the error page is invalid as it's missing the ""
Code: Select all
