Installing Free Republic Update Tonight

[hosepipe]

The other new changes seem to be value added enhancements.... thanks..

One last feature I am working to return is the slave windows preference. Will have that working before the new software is installed.

What is the "slave windows preference"?

Is there a way to get video's that are posted here categorized into a section that we can look up or on the side bar?

a simple way to do it is just open up a side bar for miscellaneous video's. Anyone that has a video to share to just post it there.

thanks

Yeesh... why are my pings (ping comments) in bright green? My eyes!

THis one was supposed to have the above image

Looking at the HTML source for that post, I see no evidence whatsoever of any img links, well formed or misformed. I just see the text of the one sentence that displays normally.

So I can't guess or tell who or what ate the img links. Maybe the Viking Kitties got hungry.

Here is an example of somewhere around the basic level of functionality I would think is close to about right.

limited header color or font size tags.

Strike / bold / italic / hyperlink highlighted text.

Insert image.

Make list

Paste quoted text.

Paste text as HTML

Paste text as text.

A few simple things.

Have plenty of thoughts on it. I want to move all that information above the comment text. Kind of like how it shows on Latest Posts or on the Pings page. On the moderator threads (where the abuse reports get posted), that attribute information comes before the text. The moderators also have a neat little switch that allows them to put that information on the left or right side of the comment text. Would love to have something like that for the main articles.

Viking Kitties fancy malformed HTML tags. They’ll gobble those up and save none for the threads.

The “slave window preference” is an option on FR that will open the link that you click on in a new window.

The one thing I would ask for is that in Headers view, Comments enabled, that the starting post of a thread still have a summary, even when I don’t want a summary for replies.

[John Robinson]

Setting at the bottom of the page, labeled "Windows". When anything other than "Self", then certain clicks should open in new windows. It's been breaking since the upgrades last month. Fixing it now.

Looks good to me John ;o)

"you need to upload it somewhere and obtain an http:// style URL"

tinypic.com will do that for you. Quick and easy.

Ah so ... that explains everything. Thanks.

Oh, I gotcha... thank you!

Ouch... don't call it a slave window. Some 200 year in the future browser window may want reparations when the machines become sentient ;-)

[nutmeg]

OK, I understand now. Thanks for the reply, and for all you do here at FR, John! :o)

Um, I’ve done that for years - I have my own server and host my own pics, usually. Those I don’t are already hosted elsewhere.

You’re welcome. Great night to you.
