It takes one click to disable ad-block, and 2 minutes to write a reply saying you don't see ads because of your ad-blocker.
Right-click the red octagon in the bottom right, un-check enable. refresh page.
Assuming you are talking about ad-block, and aren't on a mac, in which case, ctrl-click no doubt. |

Why do people spam? Because they can affect the google pagerank of linked sites by dictating what links google crawls from this site. They can do that by posting a link into a comment.
How to negate all benefits from this process?
Add rel="nofollow" to the link.
You could then open the gates to anonymous commenting, and for all the good it would do spammers, they wouldn't get any benefit.
This site is page rank seven, saying stronger passwords are the answer is the most stupid things I have ever heard.

It does look like comments with links have been disabled entirely now, by escaping html tags.
Still, rel="nofollow" was the answer if you wanted to allow links. |

This site is so exasperating.
Is it open-developed?
1) Add bloody rel="nofollow" to any user generated links and stop whimpering about other things such as passwords
2) Who the HELL wrote this referrer checking on pages? This entire site doesn't work if you block referrers. That is broken. I was clicking on news articles, and even copying the URL. You know how I fixed it? removed everything except the id= from the query string and it worked.
You remove your referrer id check / redirect from your pages, or I'll use a greasemonkey script to parse out your URLs.
3) Why is the fon't size so bloody small on this input box?
1) Add REL=NOFOLLOW
2) Remove your referrerid checking.
Bloody annoying, when you think a site about icons and interfaces touches on much of usability.
Poor usability and clueless developers. Fix it. |
