If you are having
difficulty such as broken images, some links not working, or other sections
don't seem to work properly, the following should help. Likey it is browser,
firewall, ad-blockers, or other plugins/software settings to blame. This
site has been tested in IE, Netscape, Firefox, and Mozilla browsers with
no problems reported.
.
Many
pages here use simple JavaScript to accomplish tasks such as link options
or providing e-mail addreses and contact info that spammers have trouble
gleaning. Let me ASSURE you, there is NO malicious code here whatsoever,
and I do not collect or compile ANY information. It is simply in place
to thwart many of the turds on the net today with little respect for others
and no concept of proper netiquette. Please allow "Scripts" or "Active
Content" while visiting this site or some of the funcionality and
the associated features may be unavailable to you.
.
Some
pages here make use of shockwave flash to play music or display re-sizable,
zoomable images to make viewing possible at lower screen resolutions. Most
modern browsers come equipped with the necessary plugins, however in some
cases it may be necessary to install the plugin in order to veiw the flash
content.
.
Sometimes
text here might appear to stretch and wrap abnormally or look as if it
were just too big for the rest of the page. The pages here are designed
to accomodate normal font or text settings. IE in particular seems to default
to a text size of "Medium" (or even larger in the case of the AOL versions
of IE which in the real world is disproportional). The site has been designed
with realistic font sizes with a minimum of 8pt and in very few places
a maximum of 15pt. If text here seems to be a bit "Fisher Price" and you
find it annoying try setting your default text size to either "Smaller"
or "Smallest". It is nothing we are doing here. FireFox and Mozilla users
will likely not experience this problem but Konqueror users may also wind
up with "Kiddie Fonts" with the default font settings.
.
Hotlinking
had become enough of a problem here that action had to be taken and strict
policies put in place. This may be in part what may be causing problems
while browsing this site. Nearly always some simple settings in your browser,
firewall, ad-blocker, or anonymous browsing plugins/utilities will correct
the problems. Common symptoms include broken images, links not working,
or functionality lost. There are no devious or mailcios scripts or inappropriate
use of cookies here so please allow them.
.
In
an effort to combat hotlinking and track malicious activity, the site is
configured to make use of the "referer" information normally sent by a
visitor's browser. Some firewalls, ad blockers, anti-spyware, and "anonymous
browsing" plugins or software sometimes strips this informatoin when a
visitor's browser requests a page from this site. If this happens and the
"referer" information is not sent to this site (or it is forged) the result
the visitor is not likely to get very far. If you use one of these utilities
please allow the "referer" field to be sent to this site if you wish to
enable the simple features here. If you are not sure how to do this please
refer the documentation for your firewall or anonymous browsing utility
or contact their help departments. There may also be sections of this site
that will require the use of cookies. Please allow "referer" information
to be sent and enable cookies for therathole.org to fully utilize the resources
here. Although not mandatory, Javascript should also be enabled for therathole.org
in your browser's settings as some links will not work otherwise.
Some
search engines (in particular image search engines) will cache pages but
not images wich will invariably generate broken images. Another site framing
this one will likely genearate the same kind of trashed display, rendering
the page without the correct images. |
