What happened to the copy links?

Forums: Index > General Discussion > What happened to the copy links?

What happened to the copy links on the site? They have all been taken down or something. Having to highlight and copy is no where near as useful as having the copy links next to all the waypoints. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Triplegash ( talk • contribs ) 19:16, 6 August 2009 (UCT)

There may be some issues with them on some browers. It's a known issue that will hopefully be resolved somewhat soon, but no known ETA on that... Uberfuzzy usually handles that kind of code change, and to my knowledge he's been uberbusy with work lately. I might try to take a look at the code that generates them and see if I can gin up a fix to submit, but since I didn't make it no promises there. It would be helpful if you could tell me what browser you are using when you do not see the /loc copy buttons. -- lordebon 19:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

there was a discussion about this not long ago on Uberfuzzy's talk page with browsers listed -- Vraeth 19:42, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I was using Firefox 2.0.0.0 from a disk that I had. The links stopped showing up about a week or two ago, and I hadn't changed anything on my side. Today I updated to Firefox 2.0.0.20 and the links have come back and are useable again. Thanks. Just fyi, the links are working, but there is a small highlight square around them that show's up as well. Since I hadn't seen it before I thought I'd say someting about it.

(before it comes up; when it came out, ff3 didn't have certain functionality for some websites, so I went back to ff2. I havent checked ff3 since then however, I'm a set it and forget it guy {utill it becomes broke or incompatable}) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Triplegash ( talk • contribs ) 20:09, 6 August 2009 (UCT)

Ah there it is, I knew I saw something on this issue before but couldn't find it, I must have missed it on his talk page, thanks Vraeth. Interesting, since the boxes show up fine for me in IE6 and Firefox 3.0.11, I wonder if it was just a Wikia server burp or something causing them to temporarily stop working. I'm aware of the square around them, it's appearance varies based on the client you use but I don't think it's really an issue at this time so long as the copy function works.-- lordebon 20:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

after you said you see the boxes in ie6 i tried again and still couldnt see them. THEN i logged in and guess what the boxes were there. same with the ingame browser. a way to force ppl to log in, huh? ;) -- Vraeth 20:24, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
