Tell Tapatalk I hate them.

Yeah I sent a support ticket begging that they bring back the option.

That said, I haven't gotten the pop up in 1 week, even after tonight's upgrade. Maybe it only shows once or there are options to desactivate it for a certain period of time?

Been posting with my phone and I didn't see the popup either.

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · November 26, 2014, 03:37:50 PM

So I got there by bad luck. :/ let's avoid this problem reappear...

novenary · November 26, 2014, 04:18:43 PM

Maybe because it was your first visit or your cookie got reset ?

Or he is using IE6

Yes

. That said, some people are still stuck with IE6 because some schools lack the budget to pay staff to upgrade their computers or to purchase copies of Windows that supports IE7 or higher.

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · November 26, 2014, 07:07:42 PM

It's not like if one could upgrade IE to IE7 on XP :-°

Dream of Omnimaga · November 26, 2014, 09:49:01 PM

Well XP supports IE up to IE8. But I am pretty sure that some schools still use Windows 98, ME or 2000.

After all, in South America, the Playstation 2 is still the most popular console (even more than the Playstation 3) and this is why things like this happened:

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · November 26, 2014, 09:54:53 PM

Or TLoZ Twilight Princess. It was released as well on Gamecube and Wii. (Funfact : the game is mirrored on the WIi, Link here is right handed where he is left-handed on the GC version, as he should be.)

Dream of Omnimaga · November 26, 2014, 10:21:28 PM

Yeah although by the the GC was only 5-6 years old. When FIFA 14 came out on the PS2 the console had been out for 13 years and discontinued since 6 months. On a side note Twilight Princess is particularly expensive on the GC now because of how rare it is.

On a side note, now the Youtube tag is supported again in its old format.

You can still use just the Youtube URL with no tag and the videos will end up being embedded by default on non-mobile devices and outside preview mode, but the Youtube BBCode syntax (non-https) will be supported as well in order to make it easier to cross-post stuff from other forums.

For example, the following:

Code Select

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNf1VnPOVdU
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNf1VnPOVdU[/youtube]

will give this:

novenary · November 28, 2014, 06:44:14 AM

Ah nice. What would be even better is to make the YouTube tag show the link below the video as well. When I browse on mobile I use Firefox in which embedded videos don't work but the site works perfectly fine.

Dream of Omnimaga · November 28, 2014, 07:41:36 AM

Yeah I wish I knew how to do that. Maybe eventually someone could mod the Youtube BBCode hack so that it does that and also add HTTPS support.

Also the reason why embeded videos won't work without the Youtube tag is because we use two different video mods and I disabled the one that parses videos without the BBCode for mobile browsers.

Also, technically the new Youtube mod supports like 100 vid websites, but I only enabled a few because I don't really trust other sites much and many were either buggy or not working.
