No edit/delete/report Buttons in Some phpBB Forums

I've been using dillo for my regular browsing for a few weeks longer than from when I started the thread: Secure: yes, Though Features Missing; and Bugs http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-April/010495.html on dillo mailing list, and I'd like to help at least occasionally with the sole kind of contribution that I can offer: reporting like those in that link, as I'm not a developer, and can program very little only. I have a new one report. on issue that I only mentioned (and wouldn't know how to solve back then) over at: Grsecurity/Pax installation on Debian GNU/Linux http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=108616&start=60#p577608 But I can try and tell more about it as I saw the same missing edit and delete buttons in: https://forum.sleuthkit.org/ where, to verify it, one would need to register, I believe. And while that registering on a specialized tool forum can take a few hours or more time to get the maintainer's approval, true, I believe it is the same kind of missing functionality and in the Debian Forums, so I guess one can verify this behavior by, if they are not, registering into Debian Forums. I have noticed the same edit and delete buttons missing in Debian Forums too, and I choose the Sleuthkit Forum, because I'm currently posting on it, and can accomplish this report with much more ease then on Debian where I am done with my posts for some time. I have a slow and lengthy (and tiring: too advanced for me) topic on Sleuthkit Forum: An Avi Video Recovery with SleuthKit http://forum.sleuthkit.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2441 ) and I have actually managed to edit my posts, and I managed to delete one (only the post not replied to can be deleted on Sleutkit Forum). But not by clicking on the respective icons, as they don't show in dillo. But by issuing Ctrl-U to open the source of the page while logged in and having my topic opened in my dillo browser and searching for the right (relative) link under the icon 'edit-icon' or 'delete-icon' and reconstructing the right page, because that was the only way to do it. I did search thoroughly, and no link, even on empty surfaces, did I manage to detect under the mouse (as I didn't in Debian Forums either). This is how I found it, after saving the source for the page, which is still opened for me since I posted on it, and where I deleted the last misposted post: The page was (and will not remain available under that exact address): Re: An Avi Video Recovery with SleuthKit https://forum.sleuthkit.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2441&p=2630&sid=4e30a8bd740… (which is Page 2 of 2 of the topic; for those who will try elsewhere, or who just want to get the jist reading this without trying, this is the topic page 2: https://forum.sleuthkit.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2441&p=2630#p2630 but that one has, surely no edit or delete -icon(s)) I saved it as: SK_150514-10_pg2_src.php ('10' because it's post 10 of the topic, 150514 is for 2015-05-14) and, for deleting, which is quicker to show, since it can be only one instance found, only the last post: cat /Cmn/dLo/SK_150514-10_pg2_src.php | grep delete-icon | \ sed 's/\&amp;/\&/g' and that gives, in this case (surely anyone would need their own current address given by the forum phpBB, but this is the principle, and even I as the same miroRR user will still get a different one variant of the string 'sid=...' for the same page the next time), [and that gives, in this case:] </pre><tr><td bgcolor='#DD7F32'>238<td><pre> <li class="edit-icon"><a href="./posting.php?mode=edit&f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" title="Edit post">Edit post</a></li><li class="delete-icon"><a href="./posting.php?mode=delete&f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" title="Delete post">Delete post</a></li><li class="report-icon"><a href="./report.php?f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" title="Report this post">Report this post</a></li><li class="quote-icon"><a href="./posting.php?mode=quote&f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" title="Reply with quote">Reply with quote</a></li> (When grep'ing 'edit-icon', 'report-icon' or 'quote-icon' there would be two founds for each, as there are two posts.) in one line, however, but surely I prefer my Vim setting it to the usual 79 colums width, so readers in the mailing list would not have trouble viewing it as one line (I have mercy on my poor brothers in *nix ;-) ). Surely, if I will have to post this text on Gentoo Forums [*] and [**] and [***], case shown to be that this e-mail just does not send by the absolute joyous great provider of mine, urgh!, I will rather set it to around 110-120 colums width... But from that HTML code, I figured out from this segment: href="./posting.php?mode=delete&f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" that if I wanted to delete that post, I would change the address from what it looked like into: https://forum.sleuthkit.org/posting.php?mode=delete&f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd… And indeed, after hitting Enter on that address I was asked for confirmation and was able to delete the post. There are also strings to use for changing the same address into the one that would accomplish editing that post: href="./posting.php?mode=edit&f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" reporting that post: href="./report.php?f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" and quoting that post: href="./posting.php?mode=quote&f=6&p=2634&sid=4e30a8bd7401b94368a85571eaebe8f2" None of those icons, however, show in dillo for me. This is about the whole report, as I can't even dedicate time to follow the suggestion be kind unixer eocene: Secure: yes, Though Features Missing; and Bugs http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-April/010500.html and get my fonts sorted in dillo... since even the regular maintainance of my system during a data recovery work is already schedule completely exhausted, let alone DIY compilations. [*] I'll post this, in case it is not sent to dillo ML by my provider, on Gentoo Forums where I have anyway been planning for some time the idea to open a topic on browsers and really recommend dillo, as the its being so sea-calm secure when compared with the big surveillor browsers outweighs the missing features such as the lack of javascript and poor support for CSS, so this would fit on Gentoo Forums. [**] And I'll open a special section for suspected censored e-mails of mine, at http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr/foss/cenz/ . However, uncenzorizing is a lot of work, it's in the order of a tenfold work than non-censored free e-mail correspondence, so I'll do it, I hope, some time in the future. [***] START Speaking of big surveillor browsers, I usually have issues with dillo right after I use one of those: the SchmoogleMoz Fox (but freely replace it with any of the other big ones and the potential for harm like below is there!). --- I had to use it, because the freaking Croatian corporate robber Zagreba?ka banka at www.zaba.hr require the use of javascript for internet banking... --- And that certainly is an issue, the requirement of javascript and privacy/intrusion/surveillance issues, which requirement and these issues is what I want to open the topic on Gentoo on for, and which would be great that dillo managed, with some also, hopefully, speaking as an incompetent but wishful observer --incompetent because not really a programmer-- with some also new honest young hackers/developers' blood to join in among the current herd of dillo developers [[ the work needed is huuuge ]] -- I'm dreaming, brothers, dreaming of a free unsurveilled surfing available for many; dillo looks really really closest to that accomplishment in the field of today's computing which is the sole island in all of computing with potential to be unsurveilled and free users of it therefore not controlled, and which [the sole island] is the FOSS *nix, from BSD variants to Linux variants... --- And so I had to use the SchmoogleFox, and lo and behold, certain stuff in dillo would not work after the bout of only some ten (10) minutes of the Schfox use. Such as I wasn't able to accomplish anything with either Ctrl-U nor right mouse click > View page source. Dillo would crash immediately. Updated my Gentoo from my local mirror (it's kernel 4 now in Gentoo ;-) !!) ( see my topic: Air-Gapped Gentoo Install, Tentative https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-987268.html and links therefrom, such as to cloning system, a part-topic in: Postfix smtp/TLS, Bkp/Cloning Mthd, Censorship/Intrusion https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-999436.html for how to always be able to get renewable clean system even after intrusions ) and all now works.

Where does OSX keep them? I'd looked on the web a bit in the past in case there was any simple consensus out there on the matter of where to check, but didn't find anything. I'll see where curl checks. Whatever they do is probably a good idea.

font size / dpi
by eocene＠gmx.com May 9, 2015

May 9, 2015

On a 125 dpi display, web pages tend to be tiny. For font_factor, dillorc claims "All font sizes are scaled by this value", but that's only true for html sizes and the css sizes like 'small' 'x-large' etc. [hmm...speaking of which, I see there's a bug in there for 'larger' and 'smaller' where we apply font_factor erroneously.] We should either change the claim or make it true. Also, I was refreshing my memory on the resolution-independent px discussion from January. Mostly it was about concern for the cost of scaling images, and I realize that we kind of have to deal with images or else everything doesn't fit together, but...it would be nice in some ways if we could at least scale font sizes by dpi (the css px ones and the assorted 14's that we have around in src/ ).
