COLOR SCRIP STOPS RUNNING COLORS IN YAHOO! MAIL
Firefox browser, win XP sp3. also with Abine, and firefoxe's innate Tracker Block with the Google Analytics blocker added on.
When I load Yahoo! mail, maybe CLASSIC -- but I don't know how to find version, and even their help doesn't help, (but gives me a 'CLASSIC tutorial' when I ask for one)! - Also, they tend to take forever and use the 'Random Answer Wheel' to send canned answers back. SO -- when I go to use the colors, I get the message:
==========================================================
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/User/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/13dyr2jn.default/extensions/firefox@ghostery.com/components/ghostery-content-policy.js:115
============================================================
So, since I saw your name there, I thought to put it here -- if I hit 'continue' when the script stops message appears, then I can use the colors, it's just double click (not single click) the text color or highlight (they seem to be controlled by the same script) I get the message, if i click continue, I get the colors. Not a big deal, but a tiny hassle -- I have ALL cookies blocked from your list -- so it might be one of them, or maybe something in the program itself! -- thanks for any help -- from 'Can't be helped' since somethings really CAN'T be worked out of a program, to "allow X cookie to set". I'd tell you about a programmer who only thought in black and white and our college paid him BIG bucks to build a program that would never work because he could never conceive of being interrupted while in-putting data, so you could be asked for information on student Y, and the program would close out the data entry point, lock it, and then open the section you were looking for. "Why would you interrupt what you were doing to answer a phone? You are busy, they can leave a message!", yeah right. Irrelevant here -- but shows I understand how you can write a program and with him, he'd have to go to the ROOT program and start from scratch -- the way he thought was "there is never gray nor exceptions". Well enough of that story, all I care about is the script stopper and if it can be fixed. Thanks, and thanks again for that old old memory that made working with that guy so much fun! --
I’m
glad I still get color and highlighting by clicking 'continue'
color script stops running in yahoo! mail (classic??)

Thanks doc, we're looking into the issue.Comment

I’m
happy I could chat and get away from my work for a bit, and glad I could put the problem in perspective!
Felix, don't look too hard, like I said it does work, so no harm is really done, and it could be because I'm blocking all the cookies from your list and 3d party cookies too.
After going to SPOKEO.com, I freaked out at what they showed me without paying for anything! -- YIKES -- nearly ALL of my 'personas' had profiles!!! one even had a photograph of my house at the edge of town and the verge of the desert!!!! -- so I can take a bit of weirdness in return for privacy.
And that programmer really WAS funny - he'd use me as a QA tester, and I could freeze his program in less than five minutes, often less than 3. And he'd worked SOOO hard -- really hard for a semester and a half -- but he could only see yes-no, right-wrong. And when it would lock an entry on a student, it would take the next day to open it. But close it down, change the clock and re-boot, and then you could finish the entry of today tomorrow, but tomorrow the file would be locked! --
CHUCKLE -- he just couldn't see why anyone would ever want to do more than one thing at a time -- or why you might want to edit a file, so every file locked as soon as it closed, and all files to unlock it were 'hidden' in code somewhere -- sigh. But we did produce the first prototype student profile database in the state of California - just not a lot of super programmers we could hire on our budget in North Eastern Calif.
I first learned programing in FORTRAN on an IBM 360 -- so I understand only a few of the problems but do completely understand the process -- FORTRAN before they ever thought they'd need 'version' numbers -- 1966 I think it was, maybe 1965. Early on. So don't look too hard, I'm sure you have higher priorities and since it works, I'm happy to click, wait double click, then hit continue -- takes about 5 seconds to get color, and that's only because I like to highlight web-links in my mail, and turn major links into bold red type. What else is it good for?
So no rush from me - and as for Nanook, the big photo was where I thought you attached the photo for the icon like is up in the upper left hand corner of this post.
Thank you for your reply -- but it's not a big deal. just something to do when you are tired of what you are doing and need a break. Remember the old days when all e-mail programs were trees: Pine, Oak, Elm, etc,and browsers were from a comic book: Archie, Veronica,Betty, etc? Ah the good old days when people had time for ASCII ART. -- and everyone had to write their own .bat files, some to just amuse their office mate into thinking their computer had frozen, or to turn the space bar into a tab key, or to have every 'a' come out a 'W' -- heck, that was when "OutBreak" with Dustin Hoffman came out, and I happened to be on a Viral (as in Research) board and everyone pointed out that 1) you don't recover like that, and 2) damage done is damage done, and mostly it doesn't repair itself. In an hour.
thanks again - as THE FIRST thing they taught me in my first (and only) Russian class: Я не знаю ничего! Он истинн! -- "Ya Nez Ni-u! Hor-ri-sho!! (I know nothing! It's True!!) . Well then I guess it's Хорошо мимо! (Dazvez danya) -- There was still a KGB AND a Soviet Union but not yet an 'Evil Empire'. sigh - when I wander it's because I need to do what I'm not doing!
thanks a lot for all your mystical work you guys! -- and thanks again for a wonderful product! I heard about you on Fresh Air, and Terry Gross talking with an April Goodwin(???) and she mentioned you along with Abine and an add on with fire fox that blocks -- TrackBlocker! -- and then through trackBlocker you can stop google analytics with their opt-out add on! -- that's what I mean about thanks, you have to work around ALL those programs without conflict! -- yikes! - I'm glad I never did much with programming you are never out of INTENSE school - unlike the unlikely doctorates I got -- Special Ed and Geography of the (Northern) Great Basins and Ranges! -- heck, they haven't changed in 10,000 years, so not much to learn, right? ;-) -- and it was a hell of a lot easier than being a combat corpsman!! -- time to get to work again - thanks! -
