I think Drag cave site have a frame breaker.

Time frame appears for a second and then disappears. And the click is not count.

I noticed that on some, but not others.

But yeah some are deffintly breaking frames.

Edit: I think it JUST started doing this, as before I was getting em to load fine, now they all break frame. So within the last 10, 15 mins.

They're all breaking frames for me, now.

Since they're not counting clicks, that means that some of them are going to get more views than usual from here so people need to watch that they don't get sick until this is resolved.

Same situation here, not getting credits from D Caves :cry:

Firstborn Dragon - Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:25 am

I'm just skipping them for now.

TJ has add a frame breaker to scroll links.

We are not able to open up Dragon Cave links inside frame to make sure your pages have been loaded.

The below code is on the DC frames so when they load they trump yarold's frame/delay.

Code:

if(top.location != document.location) top.location.href=document.location.href;

For those of us who don't have a clue about web programming (I learned on mainframes!), what is the purpose of frame breaking code?

azvojda - Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:36 am

So can you remove the time frames, like in Valenth links before some months?

Not right now of course, but in short time :roll:

EDIT: oops, the frames are off already. You are so quick, thanks!!! :mrgreen:

Zaecus - Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:37 am

Actually, they've already removed the time frame. The clicks now count as a redirect link, which means some views are going to be lost because the scrolls take so long to load.

...now I am wondering if I should join dragon adopters...and remove my DC link...

anyways...for those of us that don't speak the language of programers....what does this mean? Are DC links no longer on Timers or considered Care links?

Thanks for the thread...I was waondering what was going on!

The frames were there to make others wait for the images on a scroll to be loaded, before the page was closed.

Game doesn't allow us to make it wait inside the frame that counted your click. You h.ave to take CARE.

Firstborn Dragon - Sun Feb 22, 2009 1:06 am

Can't say in regards to CARE, but it means now as soon as the DC page is open, it can be closed. No way to check for the 30 second limit now.

I think I understand now. So this is something new the game doing, since before they were there...right? Could the Care frame be put back if the DC owner was able to make it so the game would wait in the frame?

Sorry if I am a pain asking too many questions....but thanks for answering them.

Yes, we are able to make changes back.

That's good to hear....thanks for answering my questions!

I don't see the big problem with the frame going away personally. Most of the time, the "Your click has been counted" was displayed and the DC page still hadn't loaded up completely or at all. Many occasions it could be a good 2-3 minutes before the images loaded in. Most people would have clicked the page closed anyway long before that point and the eggs/hatchlings still wouldn't have gotten their views.

Orphiania - Sun Feb 22, 2009 4:43 am

Is it just me, or are DC pages loading really slowly at the moment for everyone? :?:

ETA: Oops, this might be off topic if it's not a Yarolds problem. :???:

I guess it's not a huge deal...and I really was more curious then anything else.
I do know that the individual clicks are needed to make your dragons grow though....and oddly enough having the timer made sure my browser didn't overload & freeze when I open several windows.

...and yes the DC runs slow fer me too...usually around the hourly egg drops...

Zaecus - Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:44 pm

The framebreaker does not appear to be breaking the inline frame on another site.

Don't know if that's of any use, but i thought I'd toss it out there anyway.

this is not true, you do not need individual clicks to make them grow. they can grow with 0 clicks. you register a view/unique view for all of the dragons when someone loads the scroll. there is no need for anyone to click "view"/load the individual dragon page to get them to grow.

I thought TJ wanted there to be a time delay between loading links? or is that a separate issue from the frame?

Yes, I find it really odd he'd ask people not to use Snaplinks then use a frame-breaker that was implemented so that Click Exchange people could still use Snaplinks without overloading the site... >.> Seems strange to me but perhaps he doesn't want people using click exchanges at all? Who knows? :lol:

It's times like these I wish I could read minds across the interwebs
