don't know if this is a bug or i have done something shamefully wrong, but if you compare the times between csar's post and my quote, there's something wrong... date is also dubious

[Csar]

Geez, you did that on purpose, didn't ya? This makes me 10 years older! Damn. Have you changed anything in your profile settings lately? Have you checked your pc clock? This looks funnily odd.

[ThePumisher]

no, and the next quote from me in that thread is alright again. hmmm, i was am confused.

How about quote from..

[WhiteNoise]

no, and the next quote from me in that thread is alright again. hmmm, i was am confused.

It's your fault

The date of a quoted post is saved in the quote header, as a numerical timestamp. It's the bit at the end:

Code Select Expand


[quote author=Csar link=topic=1137.msg13612#msg13612 date=1529234254]


Those digits after date= convert to a real day & time, by counting seconds that have passed since the Unix epoch, which is 1 January 1970. So 1529234254 seconds + 1 January 1970 = the actual time of Csar's post.

But you accidentally deleted the last digit when you were making your post. So 152923425 seconds + 1 January 1970 = 6 November 1974!

Does Soundcloud still embed here?

[Explud]

Should work.

[Explud]

Well, soundcloud changed API and embedding work only if you post links from "Emded" option on SC.

like this:

Code Select Expand


https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/473475024


[Wolkenkrabber]

So in the case of this soundcloud, I hit Share, then I hit Embed, that gives me this code:

<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/485966166&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe>

I then delete everything before "https://w.soundcloud", and also delete everything after "...tracks/485966166", so it looks like this:

https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/485966166

Is that it? And I don't use any of the insert buttons on the forum I presume. So I get this:

https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/485966166

Which doesn't look embedded. What did I do wrong?

EDIT. Do I also delete "%3A" from the middle of that? and add a ":" ?

Oh, apparently yes.

Having trouble accessing the website through my primary web browser. I'm getting blocked from entering the forum website. I think the security certificate needs to be updated or something?

[Explud]

Certificate is on reissue, don't worry.

Spam on The Prodigy thread

Hey guys, just noticed when I try to connect to the site from my work PC I'm being blocked. It tells me your site is categorised as 'Malicious Sources/Malnets'.
Site categorisation for our proxy servers is handled by Symantec @ https://sitereview.bluecoat.com. (Symantec bought BlueCoat).
Just thought you guys should know this is happening, and is likely accidental categorisation by their automated system, and you can request a review at that link above.

[Bosco]

Request for a 'No Geography' sub forum. I'm sure you guys are on it, I just like to make myself seem important.

[WhiteNoise]

we on it

[ThePumisher]

Not really something topic related, but we should rename the "Born In The Echoes" thread into "The Music" (or "the devil is in the beats" ) and put all the NG-topics from "The Social" into this topic

[Csar]

We've discussed this behind the curtains, no worries

[Stefan]

Love the new icons, great work!

How about a refresh of the icon for the Live forum? Something with robots would be fitting, as they had a very consistent presence in the history of Chems live visuals.
Also, a kicking mule icon for the Questions/FAQ section 

[Csar]

Thanks! Enjoyed and Whitenoise did them. A robot would be cool, indeed. Let's see what we can do with that.
But, what's that mule you're mentioning? That white horse on black background from older Hoops visuals?

[WhiteNoise]

Idea: multiple randomly selected icons for the live board, from a collection of all kinds of tour images
