Marvin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 On my profile I've got a big green box that's got '1' and 'neutral' in it. What does it mean? And perhaps 'Site news/issues' should be hidden, the outside world will think we're all technical idiots if they read this thread AAAGGGHHH! a pop up box that says '1 reply added'. Added where? To what? I'm off to have a lie down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, but it'll be interesting to see what happens with it, anyway. That box is a live feed to tell you that someone posted whilst you were typing.

EDIT: Ah nuts, thats not working either. Lets hope someone figures it out quickly as my indox is filling up fast. At this rate ill not need to log on to BC to read the threads.

janmaat Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I confess that I don't like the facebook integration at all. Every time you visit a page that has a facebook like button on it, information about you is sent to facebook via that iframe. Even if you don't click "like", the fact that you visit this site is transmitted to facebook (if you are logged into fb on another tab, for instance). If you log into fb later, it can see you have been visiting this site. If you do not have an fb account, but create one in the future, all the past data that has already been collected will be used by facebook and sold for advertisement purposes. You will soon see all these bass related adds on your facebook page... One of the German states has now made the facebook like button ILLEGAL for this reason... I have removed it from all the sites I am running... And would seriously like you guys to do the same, do me a favour. What the hell, we don't need facebook do we, licking up to such a ... well ...

[/quote] The problem I have with Facebook is that everytime you try and hit the back button, the Facebook plugin tries to communicate with the Facebook site. Now that's just fine if you allow all traffic through the firewall, but causes the page to hang because the rather crude coding simply 'refuses' to believe that anyone would intentionally prevent it from snooping on them and keeps retrying. Hit 'Back' often enough and you can get past it, but it really makes the site unpleasantly cumbersome. The BBC iPlayer had a similar issue when they started using the plugin and they issued a 'fix' to those who wanted it. Perhaps something the BC techs could have a look at once the site is stable and bedded in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 As far as the notifications are concerned... There are far too many options there to make sense of. When the techs get a chance, how about one of them posting a screen dump showing how to get the notifications back to the old 'one notification per topic' format?
