Disappearing news, and Mozilla/Message boxes on main page


Recommended Posts

Two things;

1.) Has anyone else noticed any disappearing main page posts lately? A couple examples are the Outlook security fix from last week, and then today there was a discussion on the Winamp bug which allows for execution of code which suddenly disappeared. I'm just wondering if this was intentional, or if there's some kind of glitch or something that's causing the news to disappear.

2.) Also, when replying to a news item on the main page, the message box doesn't wrap appropriately with Mozilla. I'm guessing that it has to do with not setting the number of columns for the message box, but when reaching the end of the line it doesn't wrap; rather, it continues on the same line. Is there any alternative way to fix this so the text wraps?

Thanks for any help;

[Edit: Also, I noticed that you removed an image or something from the pages which made Neowin scroll much more smoothly...it really helped, thanks. :)]

If there's one thing I've noticed about mozilla is it's handling of textarea wrapping. It's not that it's poorly done, but the Quirks rendering mode doesn't seem to handle this specific quirk.

check bugzilla.mozilla.com about it becuase I'm lazy... :p

If I remove my post, or other, it's usaully because the news was posted on Neowin already. But I do not know how those news disappear. But hey, there's always a reason for it. We don't just remove news just for the heck of it :p

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
