  • To be fair, I only added it this time yesterday.

  • Trying to attach a .PDF (2.51mb) to this thread, with the comment "page 8" and get this...

  • Could you share the file with me: david@microcosm.cc

    We do use a security policy, but without knowing more about the file I'm not sure how you triggered it.

  • Strange, worked first time for me (and no the security layer doesn't care that I'm admin... treats me no differently).

    Can I ask what the two extensions in your Chrome are that I don't recognise, the S and Q to the left of LastPass. Perhaps one of those is sending strange headers with regular HTTP traffic.

    And additionally, what network are you on... a home *DSL line? Cable? Or were you using a VPN? The logic behind this question is that I suspect the security layer uses IP addresses as a risk/reputation signal and that they modify how severely the security policies are applied accordingly.

  • I got a couple of errors playing around with unicode versions of my username.
    Shame,

    ⒷⓛⓤⓔⓆⓤⓘⓝⓝ

    would have been nice.

  • Unicode is fine, character set support depends on each persons installed fonts though.

    What were the errors?

  • Server Error
    We're sorry, there was a temporary error when we tried to process your request.

    The error has been logged. Please try again later.

  • Not sure if it's a bug, but after posting a reply I get sent to the top of the last page, not to my comment, is it just that you fixed the iPhone thing for clicking on newest, but not for posting? (Would also be good if instead of taking me to my new post that it took me to any reply's that might have been posted in between, does that make sense?)

  • Curious...

    They're NoScript and Web Of Trust.

    I'm paying through the nose for t'internet via a Three mobile dongle and browsing within Sandboxie.

  • Since the move Microcism, is there any way of deleting multiple private messages at once?

  • There is the nuclear option - which is to PM Velocio and he will get rid of all of them, otherwise I don't think so

  • when you click a link in a quote, it doesn't work, but go to a place like this: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/238854/www.alwaysriding.co.uk/giro-new-r%C2%ADoad-ride-crew-pockets-2338.html/

  • Hmm, why is the markdown thread in my following twice?

    iPhone 5c...

  • I have had that a couple of times too.

  • I think I have loads of pictures not showing too... The 2nd ladies jersey thread, seems to have conversation about a design on the last page but I see nothing.

  • I like the upload file pops the pic inline rather than the old attachment style

  • Sorry if this has been covered, but I don't have time to read the whole thread.

    What is the proper way to embed videos like youtube and vimeo?
    In the preview the "iframe" embed code works, in the actual post it doesn't,
    if you just put the link to the site of the video it sometimes gets embedded automatically, which the link itself on top of it.

    Also is there any way do delete your own posts?

    Thanks.

  • It seems Django is stupid.

    It looks at the unicode ⒷⓛⓤⓔⓆⓤⓘⓝⓝ and it doesn't see 9 runes, it sees 27 characters.

    You can think of this as counting the max rune "\U0010FFFF" as 10 chars, when in effect it is only 1.

  • Give it a whirl now, should work fine.

    I now count runes, not characters.

  • Whomever put that link in did not leave the http:// on the beginning of the link.

    So the tool thinks that it is a relative link, to something on the site.

    I may fix this, just for www. domains... that if they are not linked already then we'd link them.

  • I've fixed this, it takes effect for all new comments, and at some point in the future I'll fix all old comments too.

  • Some HTML things cannot be put into comments, these include iframe, embed and object.

    Basically: They are a huge security risk.

    So the only way to embed a video (which relies on either an iframe or embed) is for us to have code on the server the recognises a link and will convert it into an embed for you.

    So the best way to get a YouTube video onto a page... is just to post the link into the comment.

    The video may not be immediately embedded, it may take a moment. But if the video isn't there 5 seconds later, then send me a PM with a link to the comment in question as it may be that this specific URL is not recognised by the server. I'll fix the server.

    And no, there is no way to delete your old posts, though you may edit them to a dot.

  • Yay it works!.

    How long before I get bored of it :-) ?

  • Quite soon.

    No-one can @ you, or invite you to events, and they'll find sending a PM to be a difficult task without visiting your profile, which they won't find easily either.

    And... some of the characters won't appear on certain devices as the fonts won't support those unicode chars.

    But... ignoring all of that. Nice bug, good fix, would fix again.

  • The circled capitals don't exist on Android 4.4, so you're " lue uinn".
