Hb_Kai Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 So i've been working on a small project the last couple of days and with the lack of money, and time, and personal pc i can't quite do what i wanted to do so i had to settle with the whole "something better than nothing" thing.There's no need for registration or anything here, you just kinda turn up, post, come back, post, come back, post and so on...Section32...also, what's the code for making an image a link? in BB and HTML. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 A couple of comments, the forum is not easy to read, and the chat section is awful to read the black lettering tends to merge into the blue background.Considering that this is an uncompleted project you have done a good job.

andsome Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just decided to have a look. There were two attempts to put a tracking cookie onto my computer, which I DON'T like. Needless to say I blocked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 It hasn't put any on mine, and the only ones that it wants to according to NoScript are it's own and one for bravenet, every sight you go to puts at least one on if you want to use the sight. WF wants to put two on to my computer it's own and a google one which is blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 The cookie attempts were when I looked at the forum page. I get cookies from this site because I choose in C Cleaner to do so.P.S. Surely there is a difference in a cookie and a tracking cookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I think you chose to keep the cookie from this sight with CCleaner, not stop them. also when you use CCleaner doesn't it clean out lots that you haven't decided to keep?

andsome Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Tracking Cookies - A cookie is an essential part of a smooth online experience. Your saved internet passwords are stored in cookies, so too are things like your shopping cart when buying online so cookies themselves are certainly not something to worry about. Tracking cookies, on the other hand, share information across unrelated websites and record a little too much personal information about your browsing habits which invades your personal privacy and in the wrong hands, can increase the amount of spam your receive as a result. Many of the web's most popular providers of online advertising use tracking cookies so these are things your computer will always be picking up unless you use a third party program to block the main offenders. http://www.apennyearned.co.uk/spyware-explained.htmlThe above is what concerns me. My computer accepts first party cookies, but not third party. I appreciate the fact that some cookies are essential, but if an Anti Malware program makes a point about drawing my attention to a particular instance then I click on disallow.
