General Software Discussion / Re: Complaint & Compliment: 3M Post-it Digital Notes vs ConceptWorld Notezilla

Any opinions of 'Stickies' from Zhorn software?  I've been using it for quite a while and find it quite useful and feature-rich.

I think Stickies is actually quite highly regarded by more than a few members of the forum.  See posts here:

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Fscript error

« Last post by mouser on May 27, 2009, 03:28 AM »

well anything you want to try is worth trying -- i know lanux is nice enough to test and report.

my idea was not very well formed and i wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't feasible.  i guess what i was thinking is that the javascript engine might be operatung uin a restrictive mode due to security and would be refusing to create the ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").  But that the DLL would not be operating under such restrictions and would thus be able to create it and pass it to the js.

alternatively, maybe the local browser control used by FARR could create the object and pass it along?

or am i barking up the wrong tree?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Fscript error

« Last post by mouser on May 26, 2009, 10:23 PM »

it seems like the root of this problem might be security issue where windows doesnt want to allow the js to create such a filesystem object.

ecaradec if you are reading this -- i wonder if one solution might be to let the fscript.js ASK THE FScript.dll for a pointer to a FileSystemObject activex object?

might that solve the problem where windows doesnt trust js to create an activex, but the dll would have no problem doing so?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Fscript error

« Last post by mouser on May 26, 2009, 10:13 PM »

this same error was posted on other threads about farr plugin fscript problems..

lanux has suddenly started getting this error.. and i cant figure out why:

Script error in .\fscript.js : Automation server can't create object

it seems to be related to this call:
var fso=ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

does that shed any clue?

Are you sure it works for you when the programs are links to other nodes, and not the actual node itself?

ah well that's surely it.. will look into it.

just tested it -- batch mode worked perfectly for me.
did you notice that with batch mode you can click EITHER on the button itself (launches batch of all children) or the tiny arrow sliver of the dropdown to choose one to launch?

Site/Forum Features / Changes to catch tricky spammers -- let me know any problems posting/modifying

« Last post by mouser on May 25, 2009, 09:26 PM »

We've recently seen some very clever little trickeroos employed by spammers..

One particularly clever tricky goes like this:

• They make a post that seems harmless enough (no spamlinks, no bad signature, etc.)
• Then a month later and after the post is quiet without new replies, they come back and either edit the post or add a spam signature to their profile (which shows up on ALL of their posts even ones they made a long time ago).

The reason this is so sneaky is that regular forum members wont ever look at the old threads/posts and so won't notice the change and spam addition to the thread. But anyone new visiting the forum thread due to a search will see it.

SO.. i've added some new alerts that send us mods emails whenever there is a suspicious looking post or profile/signature modification, so we can have a look if it seems spammy.

Anyway -- let me know if i broke anything in the process..

those messed up numbers demonstrate the problem with normal select and copy.
try clicking on the link that says "[copy or print]" to see a new window popup with clean plain text you can copy properly -- that's the new thing.

Site/Forum Features / Ability to copy geshi formatted code text.. help me test?

« Last post by mouser on May 24, 2009, 10:52 PM »

Can anyone help me test the new ability to copy the text of geshi syntax highlighted text?

Normal attempts to select and copy geshi syntax highlighted text results in garbage that is impossible to reuse outside the forum.

I've added a new copy/print link at the top of geshi syntax highlighted code which should pop up a plain text window to copy from -- let's see if it works -- let me know.

here is a SAMPLE CODE BLOCK to test out the copy function on:

Code: PHP [Select]

1. $entries = array();
2.         $total_t = 0;
3.         $total_s = 0;
4.         foreach ($cache_hits as $h)
5.                 {
6.                 $entries[] = $h['d'] . ' ' . $h['k'] . ': ' . comma_format($h['t'], 5) . ' - ' . $h['s'] . ' bytes';
7.                 $total_t += $h['t'];
8.                 $total_s += $h['s'];
9.                 }
