Did posting photos change?

Gang, the "hack" is pretty easy in the scheme of things. JLP deserves his own appreciation thread on supertopo for this alone.

1. Install the browser plugin "Custom Javascript for Websites 2":

2. Left-click on the 'cfs' icon in upper right to pop open a little window where you type in the "hack" code

3. Type in the code EXACTLY as shared in the picture from JLP. That's it!

It is a remote possibility that you have javascript disabled in your browser, but very unlikely. You would not have any normal modern websites working properly or nicely if you did that.

Note, the only reason you can't copy/paste in JLP's code is because it has some symbols that get mangled by forum text processing. So you have to look at his image and retype it yourself.

There is no magical scary stuff in that code... only "hacking" in the simplest sense of implementing a work-around. It takes all the supertopo content, and whenever it recognizes those links to external pictures, just replaces that HTML with the code to view the image inline rather than linking to it. For those who understand a little HTML, it just changes an "a href=" to an "img src=" type of html tag.

I understand the fear/stigma associated with the idea of a "hack" but really this is like using a little bailing wire to hold your muffler on your car.

It was covered and discussed in depth by both Terri Gross and Sean Hannity.

var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
var i;
var currentLink;
var newImg;
for (i=0; i<links.length; i++)
{
currentLink = links;
if (currentLink.text == "Click to View Linked Image")
{
newImg = document.createElement('img')
newImg.src = currentLink.href;
currentLink.parentNode.insertBefore(newImg, currentLink);
currentLink.text = "";
}
}
