    i get the strange posting thing where it goes to the cannot connect to server thing

    BUT

    i remain logged in, and when i went to your profile it said my name, like normal.

    EDIT:I switch computers, logged in, and now i am getting no errors at all...

    OK, I've cleared my Temp Internet Files and it seems to be working fine now.

    Edit: How could that have possibly been a coincidence with so many people being involved?

    "I could make it auto link to add me to their watched users list! i'll have to think about it."

    Don't do it, Yodaboy. You know better than that. I know how tempting the Dark Side must be, but you must remain strong and withhold your primal urges.

    Edit: At least you're not sending our browsers into infinite loops, yet. I probably shouldn't have said that.

    Yes, be stong, Yodaboy. A JavaScript-Jedi's stength lies not his abilities, but in his control of them.

    This strikes me as similar to cloning...it can be useful if done in moderation, but if you take it too far and/or the capabilities fall into the wrong hands, you can have chaos. :(

    No, we don't have any intentions to disable them (besides which, to do so, we'd probably have to contact Snowball [face_plain] ). I'm just worried about how far Javascript capabilities go...

    I'm really starting to worry about what would happen if Snowboards gets a new programmer and you all continue doing all this ;)

    Is there anyway to use this to make functional bookmarks or anchors in a thread?

    In the FanFilms forum, we have a large FAQ thread to help the flood of newcomers get started, but it's grown to several pages and it would be nice to have an index added by a mod to the first post. But how?

    The scroll function is really not good enough as people have different settings as to how many posts-per-page are displayed.

    I know I could use the existing URL to include a "start=XXX" parameter to ensure the proper page was opened, but what about marking an anchor and jumping to it?

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!!

    Have fun!

    Unfortunately, no. To simulate anchors you have to use the scroll() function Lobot desribes in the initial post. I know it's a pain, but that's all we really have to work with.

    Let's see if this will work:

    [image=javascript:A='http://www.google.com'] [image=javascript:B=(screen.width-800)/2] [image=javascript:C=(screen.height-600)/2] [image=javascript:D='width=800,height=600,left='+B+',top='+C+',scrollbars=1']

    Click here.


    EDIT: It sure did! :cool:
