It's a 10 year old article. When the site was updated, all the links probably got broke. Not the author's fault. Should be an easy fix to update the base urls for the images and zips.

|
|
Easy fix, for somebody who knows how the site got broke, yes. Could you please do that?

Not a big deal but I'm curious about who can/would remove a legitimate message and why?
Originally when a tip was published, it had several formatting issues. I wrote a polite message when the tip was in moderation but the tip got through as it was so I wrote the same polite message to the published tip.
Few days later my message got downvoted probably because the author had corrected the formatting and didn't reply to my message so someone may have thought that the message was false. No worries at this point.
But the interesting part is that some hours ago the message was removed, and not by me but someone else. As far as I can see, it couldn't have been the author.
Any ideas why would this message been removed and by whom?
The remains of the message are over here[^]

Shouldn't this be in the Spam forum?

Give Pete a break. He's new around here. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

His responses were out of line. That said, when a non-native speaker posts a question here and one of the first responses is quite rude and tells him that his question makes no sense at all, it might potentially sound quite insulting when he translates it to his language (assuming minimal English language understanding).
I am not sure why foreigners come here at all, there are so many non-English forums out there that may be better suited. The advertising on this site is targeted at North American and European audiences too. So it's not as if losing foreign participants adversely affects the site.
Of course it would have been ideal if people knew how to respond without telling someone off. But I guess that's asking too much

I agree. I also tried to get him to clarify what he meant. It's a shame it went the way it did.

Would it be possible to allow the Lounge to show/embed the preview for a youtube link (like farcebook and other web forums do)?

Eventually yes.
I'm curious as to what you'd post.

I wouldn't post any porn if that's what you mean...
I've already posted youtube links for my car stuff.

Hello guys!
I've noticed that NoScript (Mozilla addon) had caught the following attempt of XSS injection:
[NoScript InjectionChecker] JavaScript Injection in (function anonymous() {
tab=active$0;sttr=46
DUMMY_EXPR
})
Can you check it?
|
|
|
|
|
Looks like a 3rd party ad tag. I don't see any XSS in there but I'll certainly check it out.
cheers

Thank you, Chris.
I checked it twice on my 2 laptops and 1 desktop before i posted this message. All machines all regularly checked for viruses, trojans, etc.
I do believe that you did something, because XSS warnings have gone today. Note that i did nothing.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Maciej
It get back.
As to my observation, XSS warnings are not displayed till ads on top are being unloaded.

I had it yesterday morning too and also now again.
If it helps:
The ads shown when this occurres are about Softlayer with clickable link [EDIT: inserted line breaks]

[UPDATE]
This happens only on the QA list page. I just had the same ad on a single QA page, in the lounge, and here while posting this message without a NoScript message.
[UPDATE 2]
The clickable link on other pages where the NoScript message does not occurr is different. Example:
https://adclick.g.doubleclick.net/pcs/click
?xai=AKAOjstRD0PGvv1wmRpZNqwnXp_s-duTli__SPigzXfolLWTn_eFoae153yDWcCXRc0cOWeP69d0f-Vw-CbiWXKKU2Yd65HFxpGtKlrZ0o3v1A
