    I’ve noticed that I’m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that you’ve not had any alerts for a while, it’s because this feature has been disabled.

    You’ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    I remember one time, one of the guys I was working with was working on a PC. He has done some things with it and when he plugged it in and turned it on, there was an actual flame jet shooting out of one of the chips. I never saw anyone unplug a PC faster than that LOL. Of course the customer ended up just buying a new PC at that point. They had the option of getting a new motherboard but chose not to.

    @Madchatthew I’m in the same boat. We live in a mobile-first world these days, and any software vendor not rapidly adopting that mantra is going to find themselves out of business.

    @DownPW Technically, it should be possible with the addition of the below

    Toolbar: { display: { left: ["infobar"], middle: [ "zoomIn", "zoomOut", "toggle1to1", "rotateCCW", "rotateCW", "flipX", "flipY", ], right: ["slideshow", "thumbs", "close"], }, },

    Meaning your code block becomes

    function fancybox() { if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(document).ready(function() { $('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"], a[href*=".svg"]').addClass("noanimate"); }); }); Fancybox.bind( 'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"], a[href*=".svg"]', { Toolbar: { display: { left: ["infobar"], middle: [ "zoomIn", "zoomOut", "toggle1to1", "rotateCCW", "rotateCW", "flipX", "flipY", ], right: ["slideshow", "thumbs", "close"], }, }, } ); } }

    Note, that you just need to add/remove the elements in the toolbar you do not need. Obviously, zoomIn and zoomOut are the ones you are specifically interested in. However, if Fancybox detects that the image has already been zoomed as far as possible, then this will not work. You’d need an external library such as zoom.js to add this functionality, or perhaps simpler

    https://www.jacklmoore.com/zoom/

    A good example of how you’d make these two independent libraries work together is below

    https://codepen.io/ezra_siton/pen/VgrjKw

    It’s worth nothing that this specific code is based on Fancybox 3, so may need to be refactored to work with the latest version 5.

    This is so true! You can see this all over social media as well. Someone makes a mistake or has a bad day and it blows up like crazy and all the good things they are doing or who they are is all forgotten. This happens with being an employee as well. Although management try to cover it up by doing the, hey you are doing a great job blah blah blah, but you need to do better with blah blah blah.

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below

    <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe>

    This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @Panda said in Sudonix and fediverse:

    Federation will have huge advantages, especially for starting off forums that would otherwise be quiet, because it can bring in posts from similar sites to increase content.

    Can’t say I agree with this statement. To me, if I visit a new forum, I’d much rather be viewing original content rather than that which I can easily consume elsewhere. I understand that new forums are often empty with not much content, but the growth needs to be organic rather than ingested from elsewhere to make it look busy.

    Using RSS feeds to pull in content from remote sites is fine as long as you use it for reading reference and create a discussion around the topic you are referring to (as I do with Sudonix), but absolutely pointless if you include the entire article and all associated responses - you may as well just visit the origin site instead.

    Another issue is SEO and the impact duplicated content will have on your own forum when it comes to Google indexing your site. Duplicated content negatively impacts SEO and in addition, that same content may be proprietary meaning you need permission to include it on your site.

    Potentially, it’s a legal minefield which should be treated with trepidation to ensure no copyright infringement takes place.
