Digital Nightmares

Please test this link. I have so far found that Mac users will see the site, but Windows users get a blank page (regardless of browser). Just trying to confirm this. Thanks a lot. If anyone can help me to figure out why this would happen, I would appreciate it.

frames do not require a body tag.  Delete the <body> and </body> tags and it should work.

I have been coding for 8 years and I have not used a body tag for frames and they work in IE, NS, FF, ect.

I have ALWAYS used the <body> tag; as i learned it (circa 1996-97) you beeded one. Is this a convention M$ destroyed at some point?

AAAHHH frames!!!  omfg *puke*

Do us ALL a favor, and yourself a HUGE one, and stop using frames.  Frames are an easy way to mess up a website.  Just google it...  you'll have all the top 10 reasons quickly.

Bite me. I don't care to learn CSS or Flash, and this allows me to maintain a menu along the side of the screen while content will scroll. BTW, your post was neither informative NOR useful to solving my problem.

yes, it's ur frames that are messed up.

While the previous poster was rude at pointing out, frames are a very easy way of messing up your site.

You may not like learning CSS or any of that which is a valid argument however tables do a great job as well. Plus you would have never had the issue to begin with as with tables you do use a body tag.

There are alternatives to frames and (un)fortunately those alternatives are pretty much better then then say other topics...(amd vs intel, pc vs mac, etc. etc.)

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
