About the PORTAL

Post by yerzmyey »

I noticed there's no "Internal affair" kind of corner, so I don't know where to put it.

I try to enter the portal from my old laptop and I can see some crap like "You're running outdated version of firefox, 403 forbidden".

I would vote for destroying this blockade because NO new version of browsers will work on old PC machines so in this case we unnecessarily narrow down potential number of new readers.

Fair comment - actually I thought that all of the old browser detections had been switched off in ZBBlock - I will have to check...

ZBBlock as a whole will have to remain - as, even with it, we still get the occasional spammer - it was really out of hand a couple of years ago, hence why ZBBlock was installed - alas I have not found anything else to beat it!

May I also add that the site lacks a favicon ? It's very useful when you have a lot of forums and sites in your links bar because you may only leave the icon and delete the name of the site, so more sites fit in the bar. Something like this...

Good idea - I quite like the idea of that favicon - how about with zx on the key rather than just K ?

Something like this, maybe?

Or maybe this one? . The two previous were 32x32. Standard size for favicon is 16x16, so it must be as simple as it can if you want to keep "readable".

That is great thanks - I didn't think to check the size - so have now used the 16 x 16 one...
