Title: About the Shoutbox


swtazngal - October 29, 2006 05:53 AM (GMT)
Okay...I'll try not to get any personal rants on this post.

Regarding the shoutbox as of recently, I suggest members to REFRAME from answering/replying to posts such as "YUI sucks!" and..similar stuff. Yes, I know it's disrespectful and I understand that you want to stand up to YUI. HOWEVER....Only responding back will make the person argue/talk more. We all have different opinions, and at the same time, most of us have a common opinion about YUI being totally awesome.
The thing that I ask from all of you is that just please don't listen to the dissing-ness of others. It's pointless. You know your own opinion, they have their own opinion, and etc.
Will it bother you? Most likely yes. YUI fans outnumber YUI haters in the first place. But we can all be mature about this situation and simply ignore those even-worse-than-spam comments.

In other words..there's no point in becoming a volcano about it.
I know some of us haven't been like that YET..But I'm pretty sure that'll happen soon...So this is just a suggestion from me to the members, and not to the forums itself.

Thanks for taking your time to listen to me blab =]

Don't worry, those ppl are just foolish. :)

I'll flush those posts. :)

EDIT: Oh just found out that ??? IP: 58.69.28.49 :biggrin

BANNED! :P Enjoy!

Taiki - October 29, 2006 10:08 AM (GMT)
AditZ, nice job! You're the most dependable admin of a forum. ^_^

If only registered members at YUI-Lover could use the shoutbox, maybe these random posts will decrease.

AditZ - October 29, 2006 10:10 AM (GMT)
Too bad, the shoutbox featured allowed all ppl to post. :(

Riyu October3 - October 30, 2006 01:46 AM (GMT)
Good job AditZ :lol: I see that you delete all the post of that person at the shoutbox :) And banned him :unsure:

Let's just wish that all people wont say bad thing to YUI again...

Ty_Sylicus - October 30, 2006 08:05 AM (GMT)
Good point Steph! ^_^ Listen ev'one, I agree with Steph! Plz do NOT argue with these ppl! Just let them say whatever they want, and be the mature person by IGNORING them and their ignorance. ;)

Kudos AdtiZ my man! :thumbsup: Nice touch with the RED! :lol:

yeah.. agree... the same question i will ask here... why the shoutbox marquee? XD

Fanny - June 25, 2007 06:01 AM (GMT)
the original idea was to have the NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT marque but apparently, the shoutbox marquees too. if u are viewing in Firefox, the shoutbox shouldnt be moving.

AditZ - June 25, 2007 09:18 AM (GMT)
Ahhh I don't use IE so I didn't recognize it but Daitaism hsd fixed it for us, so is it ok now?

Daita(isM) - June 25, 2007 09:39 AM (GMT)
nooo aditz... the code that i gave you is the original code that you done before.
check my PM again..it's should be explained there... ;)

eonridr - June 25, 2007 03:49 PM (GMT)
dont quite work for mi.. the same prob remains.. for us singaporeans most of us still use internet explorer.. too used to it. and actually i really thought we should change to firefox or something :lol: but i myself dun feel like chainging (not making sense lol) XD

Kai-san - June 25, 2007 04:48 PM (GMT)
I have been using Firefox all along so I didn't know the shoutbox was marqueeing when viewed in IE until now.

I took a look at the source code and came to one conclusion. Firefox is more capable than IE when it comes to auto-correcting encapsulating opening and closing tags in erroneous order. That's why it looks normal in Firefox but screwed up in IE.

From the original source code below, the closing </marquee> tag is after the shoutbox code, thus causing the shoutbox to marquee too.

QUOTE (Original Code)
<fieldset>
<legend align=left><size=14>YUI-Lover Nominations Award!</size></legend>
<marquee behavior="Scroll" direction="left" loop="infinite">

<b>'NOMINATIONS FOR YUI LOVER AWARDS ARE OPEN! CHECK RANDOM CHAT FOR MORE INFO!'</b>
</fieldset>

<fieldset>
<legend align=left><size=14>Shoutbox</size></legend>

<CENTER><!-- BEGIN MYSHOUTBOX.COM CODE -->
<iframe src="http://410742.myshoutbox.com/" width="750" height="150" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
<!-- END MYSHOUTBOX.COM CODE--></CENTER>
</marquee>
</fieldset>


Below should be the correct position of the closing </marquee>. I'm sure it should be close to what Daita(isM) had in mind too.

yui knight - June 27, 2007 04:15 AM (GMT)
the shoybox still marque... :swt

s0l1dsn8k3 - June 27, 2007 04:31 AM (GMT)
Use Firefox and it won't marquee. Firefox is better anyways.

cherii - June 27, 2007 04:47 AM (GMT)
Well, Aditz needs to change the code. In the meantime, all you can do is wait...or get firefox. ^^"

Kai-san was smart enough to check the source. Hehe..didn't think of that.

AditZ - June 27, 2007 05:11 AM (GMT)
Thanx a lot for the help! :) It's fixed now.

Thanx Daita(isM) and Kai-san!

ShiroNeko - June 27, 2007 02:28 PM (GMT)
AditZ, you mean it's fixed for IE users? I'm using IE and it's still marqueing :unsure:

s0l1dsn8k3 - June 27, 2007 03:07 PM (GMT)
Firefox! Firefox Firefox! haha :lol:

EndtoInfinity930 - June 27, 2007 06:31 PM (GMT)
I'm not going to download an entire new browser just so the shoutbox won't marquee. It's never marqueed before, so why can't it just be fixed??

And besides, I like my IE :lovepc *hugs IE* =P

s0l1dsn8k3 - June 27, 2007 07:07 PM (GMT)
That's fine if you want to stick with IE. I'm not sure what did AditZ fixed regarding his last reply but I checked the code too and it's still the same as described by Kai-san.

Get Firefox (or other browser) isn't just about the shoutbox. It's about having less chance of security and virus problems which are mostly associated with IE. Plus there are plenty of free plugins/add-ons for Firefox that makes a lot of things more convenient (such as Ad blockers, Rikaichan Japanese dictionary).


Kai-san - June 27, 2007 08:23 PM (GMT)
Just taken a look at the code again like s0l1dsn8k3 did and the </marquee> is still at the wrong place (at line 323 instead of at line 316).

Maybe the server refusing to accept Aditz's amendments? :(

Daita(isM) - June 28, 2007 08:17 AM (GMT)
LOLZZZZ.... OMG ditz, u still got it wrong.... :lol:

are u sure it's changed? coz, i don;t see any changes...:D

cherii - June 28, 2007 08:23 AM (GMT)
Trust me guys, firefox has so many features that completely pwn over IE. A month or so ago, I didn't think firefox would be this cool. I like the appearance of it, as opposed to IE. The numerous little things that are included in firefox and not in IE, but you'll need to use it to find them out specifically. It's really worth the time of downloading + installing it, which doesn't take that long.

kakashi - June 28, 2007 12:45 PM (GMT)
hey it was ok with IE ... till not long ago only .. i think must have changed some info in the "YUI-Lover Nominations Award! " sector and wrongly change the codes

EndtoInfinity930 - June 29, 2007 07:05 AM (GMT)
I caved in and got Firefox.

*grumbles stubbornly*

At least the shoutbox isn't marqueeing annoyingly anymore.

Hmph.

I'm such a stubborn mule XD

eonridr - June 29, 2007 03:21 PM (GMT)

ShiroNeko - June 29, 2007 03:24 PM (GMT)

eonridr - June 29, 2007 03:40 PM (GMT)

s0l1dsn8k3 - June 29, 2007 05:48 PM (GMT)
Yay, Anna. One more Firefox convert.

Btw, remember to install the following must have plugins too:

Adblock Plus - blocks ads, no more stupid google ads when browsing YL
Adblock Filterset Updater - updates ads list for adblock
rikaichan - Japanese dictionary

EndtoInfinity930 - June 29, 2007 07:38 PM (GMT)
I downloaded the rikaichan. I'll have to go download those Adblocks now then, hehe.

Dlyan - July 1, 2007 12:16 PM (GMT)

i have to switch to FF now ?!

ShiroNeko - July 2, 2007 10:58 AM (GMT)
I guess you don't have to change from IE to FF if you are not using the shoutbox.

I'm still bear with the marqueing :swt till the code is fixed ~

That's just an option for you. :lol: As much as I would recommend FF to everyone, I know not all are willing to make the transition. So let's just wait until AditZ properly fix the code.

Hanai - July 22, 2007 01:15 PM (GMT)
FF is not bad. i loved to use it. until now, i use FF to browse.
Maybe i dont have IE7 hehe. IE5 and 6 is so slow to respond.
And Opera is faster but i always get an error on tis program.

My opinion FF is the best browser but we must download plugin for see flash media.

s0l1dsn8k3 - July 22, 2007 05:34 PM (GMT)
IE needs to download flash plugin too. It's just Windows XP do come with an older version of flash.

Reset - August 3, 2007 08:58 AM (GMT)
Now you can use back IE and the shoutbox will not marquee ;)
