New Web Site Format

[MisterBeale]

The best change of all?

That's not a change. Actually it's the only way I could be signed in at all.

. . mmm. . must be dependant on your browser then. I use firefox, and the old software was not secure on Firefox. I had to make an exception for my fire wall and ad blocker. It really bothered me. This site was the least secure thing I did on-line. It was some really shady crap till the upgrade.

A few years ago --- flacaltenn will remember this --- both Lucy Hamilton and I (and others) were getting errors where we'd get signed out, or taken to the page requested signed out. Some of us were using Firefox, some other browsers. It turned out that the redirects from links were sending to http instead of to https, and once you manually inserted the S it would work again. Right up to yesterday when the software changed, I would get linked to a USMB page where I would be signed out, until I put that S back in there.

I was just poking around looking for that thread but it must have been somebody else's thread that I joined and not one I started.

. . . um. . . no.

None of that made any sense to me. I'm just not a techie. Sorry.

I do remember a while back there was a change in my security on my system, where because of this site, I have to sign in ever single time. Thankfully, my browser would remember me. Maybe I won't have to do that anymore? I should close the browser and see? Be back in a minute.

Some browsers (like I ASSUME Firefox) had "safe browsing" options.. And with any of that set would TRY to redirect you to the SAME URL at the HTTPS prefix...

Long story short, the https (secure) address isn't new. It was already running that way.

It does sound like your sign-in issues are similar to what was going on then. I never sign out, even if I close my browser, unless something like that was going on.

We were experimenting with https support previously but had to upgrade to get it to work properly. In addition, you could use usmessageboard.com or www.usmessageboard.com -- and that would create a login issue. Now all URL's redirect properly to US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum -- regardless of the domain or http/https you use. They will all redirect properly and thusly should fix any login issues and force everyone to use the secure, faster site. Hope this clears things up.

I need a thumbs down button

I agree, pardon the pun. PROG-web teaches us how to be dishonest and not hurt other's feelings. Hence no thumbs down. Personally I'd like a Go FYS button.

Any of y'all know why gifs won't animate in a post, but they will in a sigline?

Works fine for me. The image you attached is a PNG and not an animated file.

GIF are notoriously "unstandardized".. Even if you try to put them in siglines.. Many wont even animate at all on USMB... We can resolve this later..

Please don't page in any Admin just yet.. They are TRYING to prioritize and triage the issues. Moderation is in contact with them...

Okay, I can't see the difference just copying an image but in other words these were images that used to work in the previous software, so the question should be why don't PNGs work?

Here's another image that doesn't work, says it's a gif ---

--- And on behalf of strollingbones I'd like to see if avatars could be activated as well, cuz hers was so cool when it was in motion.

Yep. Here's the image address: http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/fighting/hair-fire.gif

I dunno what that box is you have attached but nice try.

AT least using Brave, if you hover your mouse cursor over an image in a post, it shows the filename of that image. Hovering it over that image in your post showed the filename, with a .PNG extension.

Perhaps, in whatever context you're doing it, .GIF images that you post get converted to .PNGs.

Let's see what happens when I try…
