manmower Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 What is it that's changed in the Terms of Service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrd Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 May not have been the best idea to update the terms of service (what was the change anyway?) and then peace out from the forums (but not twitter) for the next 18+ hours.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 So... what happened? All I did to the Rules was adjust the formatting and fix some embarrassing spelling mistakes... are you guys saying you had to agree to the Rules again because they (apparently to the software) changed somehow? Yeah, sorry I did that just before I left for the day - surprised nobody contacted me via email or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry I did that just before I left for the day - surprised nobody contacted me via email or anything... Yeah it brought up a full screen of the new rules with a tick box to agree to these changes. The trouble was it gave you less than half a second to scroll down and click 'agree' or the page would automatically refresh and scroll you back to the top again. As Soloman Tump says though, it was a nice test of mouse dexterity skillz! Would be interesting to know how many hits that page got before people managed to escape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 it still surprises me how underused the Esc key is. crucial when dealing with redirects in particular. the idea of someone being stuck on that page for ages because they keep trying furiously to click out of it is hilarious. as I said though, I support this feature and think it should be standard. it was like a stonewall which required esoteric knowledge to pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there was a conflict with the addon that automatically loads the latest posts (was this it's own screen, or was it in a modal or popup?)...

oscillik Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Just now, usagi said: by not using an iPhone. But my method of accessing the board at the time of the fuck up is via iPhone. Your solution is therefore fucking useless. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 WATMMing on the go is not healthy for you. anyway, same logic, stop the page redirecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to me just now on my phone (android). I had to quickly hit the menu button then the "X" to tell it to stop the page loading so that I could scroll down and click "Agree".

Joyrex Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Okay - I'll see if I can replicate it myself and report it as a bug. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yes, just happened to me as I was accessing the forum for the first time today. Had to zoom out in order to see and click the Agree button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uros Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 fwiw hasn't happened again after I've logged out and come to revisit watmm a couple times after. X worked for me too. Managed to press it while hysterically laughing at the blinking page. Some fancy Esc buttons are way over my expertise. Next level shit, not there yet.

sweepstakes Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Had the same issue. Turned off Javascript temporarily and was able to submit. Joyrex if you have Fiddler skilz and can repro you might wanna look for a script that contains "window.location". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yeah, I'm getting more reports - I am going to submit a ticket to the vendor and have them address it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbot Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 And it happened to me. I had to log into watmm with IE in order to accept it, which for whatever reason it reloaded it slower in that browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's about right for IE I'm talking with the vendor now about a potential solution 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
