I was very happy to learn that you had added support for directly uploading images to imgur. However, I would like to see this taken one step further, if it is even possible.
Today, if I want to upload a screen shot (and let's face it, this is probably the most likely case in the computing-rela...
Pasting is already possible, but you need to open the "add image" popup from the editor or by pressing CTRL+G. Just as I posted the comment, status-completed.. — 3ventic1 min ago
I know firefox is a bitch when it comes to pasting images from websites copied using "copy image data" (since for some stupid reason firefox copies URL along the image data which causes the paste then fails due to cross-origin restrictions in the contenteditable hack needed in firefox). But images not attached to an actual URL should work in Firefox, too.
Can you explain why I'm still banned? Is this definitive or could the ban be lifted in future?
I've read the Help Center articles and this FAQ entry. It says I need to improve my questions, but unfortunately all my questions were very simple typographical errors.
I understand that Stack Overflo...
@AmalMurali Your avatar at small size looks to me like a pet wearing a Stormtrooper helmet. For a while, I thought that's what it was until I clicked on your avatar to get a closer look.
@AnnaLear I worked on it. It uses feature detection - and the text tells you what the browser supports. IIRC, copy/paste is not supported in FF, but drag-n-drop is. Don't have FF handy to see what it says.
@ThiefMaster is should. If you see the words on the popup, that should work. As for pasting in FF - need to support the paste events (IIRC, been a while since I touched that code)
I remember a few months ago Firefox required an invisible div set to contenteditable. And when you pasted something copied from a website (even when using "copy image" instead of "copy image location") it pasted an <img> tag with the actual image URL instead of the base64 image data, making it subject to the same origin policy...
@ThiefMaster exactly. It was a real pain to try and support, given that there is some standardization in that space (it all works in Opera, fer instance)
@Oded: Do you have the link to the unminified JS? I could have a look what exactly fails in Chrome for me (maybe it's caused by some extension) but I'm too lazy to dig out the link ;)
I think that a javascript game replayer would be interesting and useful.
For a brief list of requirements - something that can display several variations and move comments as well as be fairly easily edited (at least for minor edits).
UPDATE: This has now been implemented!
> Clipboard was renamed to DataTransfer in the WebKit source, which was merged into Blink/chromuim/Chrome: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=168494
So I guess you'll have to check for either (window.Clipboard || window.DataTransfer) once 35 hits stable - it seems like something that'll end up in the non-beta v35
Say @AnnaLear, if users (purely hypothetically cough) start to troll a Meta to an extent that would normally see them banned if they tried on the main site, is there anything that can be done about that?
@3ventic nope, I'm pretty sure seeing a dev saying in comment to bug report or feature request "I'll look at this tomorrow" and it was years ago and still nothing done.
@ShadowWizard It's ... How do I put this. Area 51 is a very old fork of the original SE codebase. There be dragons in there (probably literally). I don't know exactly where the challenges for fixing this would be, but in any event, we're not putting any significant time into A51 dev at this point. — Anna Lear ♦2 mins ago
I was going to edit his answer and remove the list of links, but after seeing this comment, I don't really want to. (His function doesn't work anyway) :-P
So let me see. You need to ask a question which you yourself answered a long time ago, and the answer you immediately get is the same as your original answer? .... stackoverflow.com/questions/18118528/… — Bart26 secs ago
@AnnaLear I could have been more helpful than "Millions of people do, not our fault if you don't know how to use the site." but really, he wasn't looking to be helped at that point
@AnnaLear things had kind of escalated by that point, not normally something I'd leave if there was any hope of salvaging the situation. Won't do it again, anyways.
I think the existing blocks triggered by spam flags and user destruction (SpamRam) is enough, and we don't need to preemptively block all Tor users. The existing mechanisms will block Tor exit nodes temporarily and of course also affect innocent users, but that is a necessary evil in this case. B...
