Wow, such life in the forums. I stubbornly retried -- I finally got it working. Not sure how. prefs.js vs users.js settings -- guess I hit the wrong file.
As to those thinking "it's a free site -- so who cares" -- really, die -- free doesn't mean something shouldn't live up to quality standards. As to me finding the wrong file/misediting? Not sure if I did or not. Ultimately I noted one file kept reverting to prior settings, collarme.org (where did it get that, it's .com -- sigh) -- but once I searched 'collarme.org" in a basic windows search of the main firefox folder I turned up *several* matches, the file that was altering back and a few others -- altered the file it was reading from and voila, it took the .com version and pasting was then allowed.
Pondered killing this post, but I see no such option. I see life to the responses. I see idiots responding, thinking "free' excuses stupidty. There's *NO REASON* to do a security blackout of pasted text into a profile. Javascript should be blocked, but christ, I wrote my own web portal as a hobby. It's NOT that hard to strip javascript from someone's input. If the site designers (or so-called-designers) think it is they oughta pay me ot start working with them. I'd even "invent" the options to edit or kill posts, since I just can't see them at present. Maybe I'm blind...
Bottom line, firefox users, try pasting. It won't let you. Follow the instructions. Note, if it still gives you grief after, profiles.js and users.js both need to say collarme.com -- not org or whatever else. It's fixable. If I just blew an hour of my life to prove that, over pasted text somehow risking the security of the site. If any of the CM site designers would be kind enough to humor me by giving an explanation of how this whole universe can unravel over a goddamn paste, I'd be quite amused to hear *why* I had to blow the past hour figuring stuff out...
Whatever. Yes, it's free. No, that's no excuse for crappy site design. Have pride in what you create. I'd shit in a box and sell it on ebay if someone would pay a hundred dollars for it. But likewise, I'd want that ebay buyer to have my best of turds... Call it work-ethic or something. Don't care what you call it. But if you'll pretend to design a site, why? Do it -- or don't do it. Pasting profile text won't make the world end. Security lockouts there are just idiotic. Warcraft, my bank, etc, never had such a pesky form. CM, you're full of shit on this point. Hugs tho.
