Any WebTV users out there?

**Rich Lucibella** · September 9, 2001, 01:02 PM

One of our Members has lost his ability to post at TFL. He's using WebTV and some knucklehead gave him instructions that we need to disable javascript....hell, I don't even know if we use javascript!

Replies are appreciated.

We use Javascript for the pop-up on the main page when you have new PM's. If you disable that option in the User CP then the javascript doesn't show up anymore.

I have NO IDEA how to do what you just said to do. Please give me detailed instructions.

Thank you,
KR

1. Click on the "user cp" button at the top right.
2. Click on "Edit Options"
3. Set "Pop up a box when you receive a Private Message?" to NO and there will be no more javascript.

THANK YOU!
Seems to be working OK now. I'll let you know if there are any more problems.
Again, THANK YOU!

Your welcome, glad I could help

Whoa! That was cool.
Thanks, Shaun. I didn't believe it was the Java Script as KR has not had the problem before and we haven't done anything to the software.

What am I missing?

Not sure it was the javascript that was the problem.

The javascript doesn't actually show up on the page unless you have the Pop-Up message set to yes and you actually have a new/unread PM. Just have to wait and see if that was the problem/solution now.

Well KR was having problems getting on at the same time Dennis was. Both seemed to get back in at the same time, KR on WebTV and Dennis on DSL.

I still think it was a network or router failure.....but I hope not.

Rich,

FWIW- I usually surf on my webtv. No problems ever encountered at TFL.
