TheChimp Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 New site gets past the work censors. Thumbs up from me! Quote
El Padre™ Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Yes. But in order to upgrade the site to the new software version, I had to disable almost all the little tools, addons and features moments before upgrading. After upgrading the site I reenabled most of the tools, but despite testing these successfully on the test-site, it's only once the site is in use by you guys that the issues are starting to appear. For example, there's heaps of features that I don't use on a regular basis (some not at all!) that I know some of you do use. So testing the new software was only really achievable by getting you guys to point out any problems you're having. Copying and pasting from websites like redweb and bbc sport is now a total mess by the way. Quote

Reekie_Red Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Posted September 15, 2009 Ah, I've just seen what you mean in the "Bring A Buddy" thread. No version of DonsTalk has ever allowed HTML to be incorporated in posts. Allowing full html is just too risky, and those with the right html coding knowledge can embed viruses, malware and spyware within html that yer everyday DonsTalker wouldn't have a clue even existed ... until their computer becomes infected.

Well that's a lie. But I agree that full HTML support in posts is a gay idea. Quote
glasgowdon Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Well that's a lie. But I agree that full HTML support in posts is a gay idea. You can embed JavaScript in HTML so it is possible. Quote
dave_min Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 You can embed JavaScript in HTML so it is possible. Which would make Javascript the problem, not the HTML? Quote
Reekie_Red Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Posted September 16, 2009 I can easily write a piece of html script to call up a javascript, say 5 seconds after the page opens, that runs some malware on the destination PC. Giving any and every DonsTalk member the ability to spread viruses, malware or spyware is something I'm not prepared to do. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 I'd prefer if FJ were to remain as the main candidate for passing on viruses. I'd also like it if the new link to the Chatroom didn't pull you away from the main site, whereas before it opened a new window so you could run both at the same time. And there's no longer any smilies in the Quick Reply or else you'd have a thumbs up to go along with the 'keep up the good work min'. Quote
Andrew Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 I'd prefer if FJ were to remain as the main candidate for passing on viruses.

And there's no longer any smilies in the Quick Reply or else you'd have a thumbs up to go along with the 'keep up the good work min'. You can just press the scroll(in the middle of the mouse) button thing and it opens up any page in a new tab without taking you away from the site you're already on. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 I don't have a mouse on my laptop and I'm sure I could probably right click and open a new window. But Reekie's good like that, he'll sort that shit out for us. :missingwinkysmiliefromthequickreplybox: Quote
Reekie_Red Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Posted September 18, 2009 I'd also like it if the new link to the Chatroom didn't pull you away from the main site I can alter this. Might be a few days before I can get around to altering it though, as I've got heaps on this weekend and next week. But I'll get around to it! And there's no longer any smilies in the Quick Reply That's something that I've been working on for a couple of weeks now. Don't reckon it'll be fixed for another few weeks, but it WILL be fixed, as it's something I use regularly too. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Posted September 18, 2009 I'd also like it if the new link to the Chatroom didn't pull you away from the main site Try it now Quote
El Padre™ Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Any chance while you're tinkering you could add this smiley for me - I'll buy you a pie next time you're at the Pitt if you do. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 Try it now See Andrew, the boy is a fucking legend. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 Reekie, any chance we could the links back to the forum at the bottom of topics please? Quote
manc_don Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 Reekie, any chance we could the links back to the forum at the bottom of topics please? Seconded. I miss them Quote
Reekie_Red Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Posted September 19, 2009 Reekie, any chance we could the links back to the forum at the bottom of topics please? This is something that I'm working on. This and the smileys on the quick reply are the two main things missing at the moment. The link at the bottom of the page is something the developers missed out on purpose on the current build of the software, but I've spoken with them and they aim to have it back in the next build, which is due for release in a couple of weeks. Any chance while you're tinkering you could add this smiley for me - I'll buy you a pie next time you're at the Pitt if you do. There's already something very similar to this on the "More" smileys list ... see :clap: Do you specifically want this one? Quote
glasgowdon Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Which would make Javascript the problem, not the HTML? Yep, but disabling JavaScript would break the site. Quote
dave_min Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 Yep, but disabling JavaScript would break the site. I know, I was just being pedantic. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 don't know if it has been mentioned but the search function seems to be fucked Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 I'm having trouble posting now (you'll all be pleased to hear!), it goes straight to a "Page can not be displayed" screen, and when i hit refresh it says "You do not have permission to start a new topic on this board" even though it's not a new topic i'm starting. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 You broke the internet you cunt. If only... I'm also getting a message now saying "You last post was less than 1 second ago. Please try again later". 1 second? How the fuck is that even possible!? Quote
manc_don Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 If only... I'm also getting a message now saying "You last post was less than 1 second ago. Please try again later". 1 second? How the fuck is that even possible!? Dunno, it happens to me every now and then, I just copy what i've written then click the topic and paste it in again. Usually fine after then. It is a bit of an annoyance though! Quote
dave_min Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 How do I embed YouTube videos now? Ye used to just post the youtube page as an html link but doesn't seem to work anymore [youtube ] the link [/youtube ] (without the spaces though) Quote
