If it needs to go back to the pop up, just make it another page on the site, not a popup.

Also, could you consider using just numeric, rather than alphanumeric, cos it's easier to type

Cheers

Try getting window.opener()/opener(), window.close()/close() to behave in Firefox/Firebird in the same way as they did when implemented into earlier versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer/most other browsers that support javascript 1.1.

So what did you do to fix it?
I'll understand if the answer may compromise the security, I was just wondering as I'm teaching myself PHP and designing my own page.

I don't know but "chrono trigger X" was just submitted by a NEW author and is getting blammed even though it's decent. So either whatever it is isn't working, or they're just voting normally instead of using a program. Well I still appreciat you guys trying to stop this BS. I geuss there's only so much you can do though.

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 16:27:16


Well it's good to hear things are back to normal.

Technically true, but i don't see what you mean by the window.close() object - the only difference is that in Firefox/Mozilla (gekko engine) it will let you close pop-ups, but not full windows with all bars - which kind of makes sense really.

finally i just saw it thanks wade you had me scared this morning that this was gonna slow me down

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 16:45:03


WOOHOO! I'm so excited, i hated that new pop up window... thnx!

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 17:15:22


Cool that you have changed it LilJim! And also thanks to Tom and Wade Fulp! It´s better so...

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 17:18:52


Just ban people who use it. Is there any way to tell? You could track how many points we get, and if we're clicking on the vote link or something.

People whose points are going up without the link clicking stats showing up gets automatically banned. Hmm?

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 17:26:28


i love you liljim and please please don't go back to the popups

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 17:34:47


I'm so glad it's back to normal... I think it's better this way, I just think it was a total hassle with the code bars...

It was pretty annoying. I could never get used to that kind of stuff.

I'm thinking that they successfully blocked it but that the ones who used to use it are just clicking the votes based on batting average instead of auto-voting that way.

But then someloser would make a flash 20 minutes long that was super annoying and dumb, just to make us watch it.

THANK YOU ALL!!!

Ahh, i am so happy about this, I love you Liljim! Keep up your good work.

Ah, i am so relieved that i can smell something funny (looks down) AAAHHH!!!

This is a relief. I just hope people don't abuse their voting privilages again.

Why is it that so many people were ready to bitch about it, yet so few thank Wade and liljim for making it like it used to be???

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 22:38:11


Yay! Well I'm sure as hell this will work better for people. (since everyone who votes will be used to the good ol' voting system) Its also a good idea for people who have those programs that block out pop-ups. (Whereas the voting system included one) It might be a good idea to look at the pros and cons of your new ideas, or poll newgrounds users if they like it or not.

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-19 22:43:43


That's cool, that helps out.

That's a relief. Makes surfing Newgrounds more user-friendly.

If only everyone co-operated and not used "Bots" to vote... Newgrounds won't be so "Shunned" by the public and those popup-security checks would not be needed as everyone knows their place in newgrounds.

HOORAY!!!!
i knew it would go back cause the use backlash was so fat... bad idea...
but at least its ova

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-20 00:19:33


GREAT!!!

I know this may come off as whining, but that code system was an annoying little bitch. Though it didn't take too much time (unless u can't tell the difference between 0's and O's, like me), it was still annoying. It's cool to hear it is gone now

Response to Voting back to normal! 2004-05-20 00:23:02


Yes, back to normal! I love it, thanks Jim, you're my hero for the day :D


I must lollerskate on this matter.
