    And if an editor offers a certain feature like a link in a preview box, then it should also work.

    There are always two sides to every coin.

    I personally "hate" the preview box and want links posted as a link that the user has to click if the user wants to go there.

    I block these preview boxes "without prejudice".  They just "invite" cross-domain privacy and security vulnerabilities.

    "To each their own", of course.

    It is undoubtedly true that those Web designers don't care one whit about compatibility with any browser other than the latest Chrome/Firefox/Safari!

    I technically don't agree with this 100%.  Not saying it's not true, just saying the entire picture cannot be painted with this one brush and this one brush stroke.

    I'm not referring to .pdf's but "web browsers" in general.  The constant push for "new and improved" isn't being led by the "web designer", it's being led by the hype and propaganda behind "security".

    "Use our browser!  It's more secure then theirs.  Just look at our upgrade rate relative to theirs, we find and fix vulnerabilities faster then they do.  Use our browser!"

    Paraphrasing, of course.

     

    In regards to .pdf's, totally and completely agree!  It makes NO SENSE for a web site to host a "viewer" when Mozilla-based started embedding a built-in .pdf viewer in 2011 and Chrome-based started in 2010.

    One uses HTML5 and .js.  The other uses C++.

    This would have been Firefox 5 and Chrome 7.  Where are we at now?  I've lost track because they both update 7 times a day (exaggerating, of course).

  3. I really think you insist on looking at it the difficult way.

    Tampermonkey is a Difficulty Level 4 on a scale of 0 (very easy) to 10 (very hard).

    The "separate extension" route where you insist on creating your own manifest.json, your own content.js, and your own polyfill.js, then packaging those as your own extension, is a Difficulty Level 6.

    And the self-create method hasn't actually been tested or verfied as even working.  I see no theoretical reason that it should not work, but nor have I seen anybody demonstrate that it does work.

    ; I've named it:

    msfn.org @roytam1 "long" posts fix

    :P ...

    :cheerleader:  SWEET!  I've added it to my MSFN userstyle!

     

    edit:  and added some very specific "members" who do make valuable contributions every once in a while despite the vast MAJORITY of their posts being nothing but walking right up to the line without actually crossing that line.

    a "pink background" now visually tells me right from the get-go, "warning, possibly inciteful and not insightful, proceed at your own risk"  :whistle:

  5. I tried to simply copy-and-paste directly from my [major] Tampermonkey userscript.

    No clue why MSFN would not allow it (because I've done it before!).

    All I can figure is MSFN is still bending over backwards to prevent SPAM ATTACKS - which is great and well-needed.

    But at what cost?  I mean, the only way NEW MEMBERS can join MSFN is if they somehow manage to "coordinate" their new membership via THIRD-PARTY forums.

  6. No worries here.

    I have the 36-line version saved also (I have it labeled as [minor]).

    I've never actually needed it but it *IS* a "confirmed fix" for a CHASE web site so I keep it just-in-case.

    I don't have a CHASE account to know if the [major] version does or does not work on CHASE.

    If it DOES, then I would throw away the [minor] and just resort to the [major].

    But if the [minor] does have SOME web sites that it does work on, then until I can prove that it works where the [major] does not, then I keep both for just-in-case.

    I know that it works with Tampermonkey, but I would like to include it without additional extensions.

    Unfortunately, that's probably not the case.

     

    You're not wanting to use Tampermonkey and polyfilling via Tampermonkey.  Kind of not "our fault" when we give a method that WORKS but you don't want to use that method.

    Any other ideas?


    That's because that is only one half, one third, one fourth of the problem.

    Only after you resolve array.at does structuredclone error show up.

    Then after you resolve that, you're likely to encounter even more errors.

    You do not need an online viewer to view .pdf's - download it then drag and drop into 360Chrome, bypass that "viewer"  --  https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf

    Me too - my computers won't support 10 or 11 but at some point I may have to jump to 7 but I'm not there yet. I see no benefit to use Vista  :unsure: How can I get a legit version of 7? I see so many ISOs out there but no way to (legally) activate it?

    I wonder if my computer is even capable of such - I think it would be very sluggish because I have my XP trimmed to almost nothing but the basics.

    Need to know your MOTHERBOARD.
    PLGA and LGA sockets are interchangeable.
    You could upgrade your Pentium D to a Core2 Quad Q6700 and be identical to me or you could upgrade to Core2 Extreme X9770 (not compatible with my motherboard) and be 23% better than me.

    Again, some times we bring upon our own misery!
    "Been there, done that."  I stuck with XP and kept telling myself my hardware can't run 10.
    Folks that want to run XP, all the power to them.  But MOST that still do only do it because they have a MOBILE PHONE to do what XP can not do.
    That was not my case.  I do not own a phone.  No land line.  No mobile.  NO PHONE.

    Amazon has the Q6700 for $24.95.
    Anybody that can afford internet service and be on MSFN can afford $24.95.
    https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Quad-Core-Processor-1066MHz-LGA775/dp/B000TGK05A

    The Core2 Extreme sells for a HELLAVUA LOT MORE but also very likely won't go with your motherboard.

     

    Point is, $25 is manageable on ANY budget!

    You may be surprised, I used to think the same thing.  I'm running 10 on a 15yr old eMachines T3656 with only 3GB RAM without any issues whatsoever.  WinReducer EX-100 - Learn it, Use it!  :)

    NO!  I'm not being <insert negative adjective of choice> and trying to load up 10, 20, or 30 tabs in a web browser!  Some times we bring upon our own misery and cannot blame others for that misery.

     

  11. The US Government tried this.  It was called the Disinfo Czar.  Failed miserably.  Was shut down within a month.

    One person's "news" is another person's "fake news".

    One person's "angry post" is another person's "polite reporting of facts".

    One person't "facts" is another person's "bias".

    Et cetera.

    Ad nauseam.

    Carpe diem.
