HUGE CHANGES FOR JGO - PLEASE READ!

General Discussions
#41

nowadays only flash video is the way to go …

#42

Done.

Except in MSIE. I just gave up. Right there. The SMF <> JsSyntaxHighlighter combo is unstable, and I had to write a bunch of javascript to get it working in Firefox and Chrome. MSIE shows the non-highlighted version now, instead of crashing 8)

#43

I don’t think that’s true anymore.

However, all that’s OT in a way. The ability to embed video from YouTube, Vimeo, etc. would be more useful, and not put strain on the JGO server.

#44

Just to be absolutely clear: JGO will ‘never’ host videos.

#45

How “just” applets then?

Kev

#46

too bad :-, but that end the debat…

#47

Seconded, but I suppose it’s not that hard to link to things!

Would http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/ be a possibly more stable solution?

#48

Good luck with the migration.
My thanks to Chris, Charlie and Riven.

Now if you could do something about the weather in the UK…

See you on the new site soon :slight_smile:

#49

To clearify: what if the forum gets slashdotted. I am not willing to take the risk of paying a ‘surprise’ bill.

YouTube (and the like) is all we need.

If somebody else would offer hosting for videos, that would be fine by me. I could integrate it to JGO so that the videos would be streamed from your server.

Regarding applets: maybe. It might have a applet-launcher in front of it, which would check whether your JRE is up to date. I don’t want the JGO visitors to be infected by drive-by attacks in rogue applets.

#50

Nice, we’re now on the lovely new server :slight_smile:

#51

wohoo !

#52

Amazing, it worked :slight_smile: I like it.

#53

Yaaaay! Thanks Riven! No one uses IE anyway. :slight_smile:

static public void main (String[] a) { while (true) ; }

Edit: wierd delay and screen flash as the page loads. I imagine there is some PHP somewhere so the highlighting could be done serverside, but then beggers can’t be choosers. :slight_smile:

Edit: Looks like this would be the way to do it serverside:
http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Highlighter

Edit: Are all the old posts lost? Edit: Nevermind, I see everything now. Wierd.

Edit: looks like editing works.

#54

How often is the “epoch” for the purposes of “Show unread posts since epoch”?

#55

It’s just a shortcut to “show all unread posts”

#56

I see Riven could not wait to make the jump! :slight_smile: It looks great!

#57

Wait what? It was Friday 00:00:00 in my timezone :wink:

#58

Haha, well awesome. Looks good. Nice work! :slight_smile:

#59

Nice change :slight_smile:

#60

OK, I’m impressed! But… isn’t that logo a bit small? (I had to find something - I hate being proved wrong!) :-*
