What's this?

What's what?

[Khan]

The whole fed2k in a sort of email format, I've never seen it before, and I don't know where it came from.

[erjin999]

RSS ?

Still not working for me in Firefox. Works fine in IE though.

Works in Firefox for me. Maybe some extension you have installed or FF setting ?

[Khan]

Which means?

[gryphon]

looks like you have an RSS feed from fed2k. Check your accounts for that on Opera.

[erjin999]

RSS news feeds..something.

Its a way of getting headlines form a website, but they usually show up as bookmarks, and for Fed2k, usually show the main news items (which is a shame). I would actually like to have what you have.

O Great Gob can clear up whether it is RSS feed stuff thats doing that.

[Khan]

I'd tell you how to get it but I don't know...

How?

Seems Adblock plugin was blocking

http://www.dune2k.com/forum/Themes/default/script.js

It works now. I just need to fugure out what variable is blocking that link.

wtf? I have that exact link on the block list. Don't know why it is, but I'm removing it. Must have accidentally added it.

Odd, that url was added again to the blocked list. Removed it again, seems to be working.

[erjin999]

Does addblock not guess which images might be ads ?

[Andrew]

Nope. You have to manually add the info. Although you can have wild cards  such as *ads* (although I got rid of that as "downloads" has ads in it, so I am simply using */ads/* now)

Member map is working.

It is probably just the RSS feed. A link for it shows up in the bottom right in my Firefox window.

It could be some special Opera thing though...

[gryphon]

if you have the Dutch version of Opera it's called nieuwsstromen... guessing it's newsfeeds or something in the uk version. With me it's the option left of extra.

When selecting it you can subscribe and unsunscribe to newsfeeds. Look at the screennie for an example. I just enrolled to the Fed2k RSS feed as shown.

Sorry for the screeny being so big. . .I am on a dual monitor and to lazy to edit it. . . :P

[erjin999]

Thats good, because everytime I try to get RSS feeds of the actual posts in SMF, I end up with the news items on Fed2k...small difference there.

I will try again now, as I thought it wasnt set up. Hehe.

[Gobalopper]

Well email is always going to be slower then a PM. The PM is instantaneous... email speed will depend on mail servers.

[lowzeewee]

Once in a while the 'Quote' button still gets me a pop-up window that says session expired. ???

[Gobalopper]

I've updated the board to a newer version. For now it is using the default theme, once I get it working it we will be back to the old one.

[GUNWOUNDS]

oh

[Dunenewt]

Wow this is a bit different aesthetically.  What are the main changes then?

[Andrew]

Probably:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=37856.0

or some beta (from what I got from the thread).

[erjin999]

oh my Gob, its different. Bring back the good old colours....before this one grows on me.

[jeff2429]

i like the old black and yellowish theme.  Easy on the eyes.

Agreed.

If you are not logged in you cannot go anywhere beyond the main forum page.

[Andrew]

I couldn't log in. It told me I had a cookie problem. I deleted it, restarted browser, still wouldn't let me log in, started saying errorrs. Worked 5 minutes later.

[Gobalopper]

Ok switched back to the normal colors. Still some work left to do.
