Title: Site suggestions
Post by: Rolex-Watch on May 11, 2014, 08:57:05 PM
can you do away with the unnecessary border, just a waste of screen space.  What is it with these reply boxes, some times they respond, they lock often, there is a lag in displaying text you have typed, and my spell checker doesn't work.

Well, the "workaround" at this point is replacing the whole thing altogether (the whole post page)  :-\
It's proving too much sweat for a legacy tech which will be replaced in new versions of the forum anyway.

As soon as we have some subscriptions in place this month with BetSoftware, we can cover time for the forum's layout and functionality. We need to secure site perpetuation first!

Confirmed: this is the preferred solution for computer technicians when people bring a PC with a virus [smiley]afb/biggrin.gif[/smiley]

What is the message that this web site tried to access image data on a canvas?  Since cavas image data can be used to capture information about your computer, blank image data was returned ??

Spooky

What's the actual page where there is a canvas reported? ???

I'm not aware of any image host tag in-site which uses canvas to display.

I'd be interested to know more.

We have had many false positives from members claiming there are things like links in our pages which aren't there (i.e. planted by ad-ware/viruses in their computers). Also heard of these messages in programs like TOR. Some time ago we had to contact 3rd-party suite BitDefender to clear a wide false-positive, being cleared/white-listed as soon as their staff checked we are indeed clean.

Kindly elaborate.
Thanks.

The box you reply in, could have been better designed, mine freezes quite a  lot, browser spell checker doesn't work.

Why so many "smiley's, are you trying to cater to a teenage market or something, are those that risk their hard earned cash at their local casino that concerned should they use giga or pacoo or even toto!!

You have two points for sure. There's work on the way towards straightening the two of them.

i.e. http://betselection.cc/index.php?action=quickedit (http://betselection.cc/index.php?action=quickedit)

(also currently checking spell checker for a fix)

They're there for fun ^-^

Believe it or not some fellow members like 'em. Even if they are rarely used (some if ever!) it's OK to have them there "just in case".

Sort of collecting stickers or DVD movies you may never watch again but just enjoy having them.

Check out the prototype for new post page:

We are "growing" in new tech.

Can you please confirm it works now? Done some work at the server towards it.

We DO listen to the fellows.

Good on you for using the spell checker btw [smiley]msn/left_hug.png[/smiley]

One last thing! Since the current spell checker still uses a separate window, you might need to white-list the new window in your specific browser.
Title: Re: Site suggestions
Post by: Rolex-Watch on May 27, 2014, 06:39:13 PM
The new window is much better, but the spell checker still doesn't work for me, even after white listing the page.  Why can't I just use the spell checker that's in my browser addon? (Firefox)

What is up with this board, when you are typing away, the cursor freezes, letters from words don't appear?

As a quick workaround, you can try toggling the editor view with the button: (https://betselection.cc/Themes/impulse2_smf20final/images/bbc/toggle.gif)

...Sadly, this forum's source code simply has way too much "old cruft". We'd be better to rebuild everything from scratch -what we're going to do after implementing some subscriber goodies, to pay for the coding hours :nod:

We removed paypal buttons to implement this model.

We need a winner on here!

Other than that, make another donation, and the problem might go away?

Victor, with all your software and coding skills, why has the typing lock-ups, freezes issue not been resolved?

It is just as bad as ever.

No use, attempt at fixing it introduce more bugs. Our hope's a re-install from scratch.

When you changed the background a while back (which a lot didn't like), things seemed to improve, but it was too early to tell as it was changed back to what it is now.

Quick reply doesn't work.

6 freezes just in this post.

Should be fun when everyone is voting every 5 minutes  :(

edit...

Wonder if all those link tabs to other sites slows things down....just a thought

 So when I get ticked off at Drudge Report's reload timer, I rewrite the html code. Then I launch the saved html document saved on my desktop. You must save the text document as .html.

Change the word true to false:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://betselection.cc/Themes/impulse2_smf20final/css/index.css?20140413asd" />
<script src="http://betselection.cc/folders/tabs/tabcontent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="http://betselection.cc/folders/tabs/tabcontent.css?20140510" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script> $("input:radio").hover(function(){
        $(this).prop('checked', true);


Copy source code.

Paste it into a text window like Notepad.

Change this:  $(this).prop('checked', true); to this:  $(this).prop('checked', false); in the eighth line of code.

Then save as post.html

Then open it with your browser and enjoy without interruption.
