When I try to make a new post on ESLcafe.com Dave Sperling's Facebook account pops up on my screen.... It's extremely annoying... Each time I click on this text box (where I am writing in now) his account pops up with a picture of Dave on a boat...

What the hell?

Did someone hack Daves?

I doubt Dave's was hacked. I think he's got a very rudimentary way of handling the website. The burning question for many people that have read this site for say...4 + years to be fair: Dave, why are we using s/w from 2003? It's almost 2012 man, lets get with the program. Very Happy



Did you know that in the early days of this website, he would actually answer the question?

It seems to only happen when I am using Google Chrome... But there are other problems now that I am using internet explorer.

If you right click and select "inspect element" and then highlight the code and click "edit in HTML" you can change the code... But, maybe it is only changing for me for when I come to the site?

I am not the one who did it to myself though...

Try posting a reply using Google Chrome and tell me what happens... So that I know if it is just me or if this is a problem that occurs for everyone...

Then I need to figure out how to fix it because IE is retarded...

Well... even if I somehow did this to myself... how did I make it go to Dave's facebook page of all places?

Am guessing that Dave tried to add a feature to the site, but it sort of got botched. Same problems here with FireFox.

Yeah, that feature does not send a HTTP POST command to the server; any changes you make have absolutely no effect on anyone else's experience of the website.

Ah. Now I see what you're talking about. The tag for Dave's Facebook account isn't properly closed, so instead making only the photo in the upper left corner of the site a link, the entire page is a link.

Dave/Admins:

Please make this change:
This code section (probably in the PHPBB header)
Code:
<a href=http://www.facebook.com/sperling.dave TARGET="_blank"><img src="http://www.eslcafe.com/facebook.jpg" </a>


Corrected version:
Code:
<a href=http://www.facebook.com/sperling.dave TARGET="_blank"><img src="http://www.eslcafe.com/facebook.jpg"> </a>


Closing the img tag is important. Have a good day!

Thanks for the heads-up. Dave has been notified.
