InformAction Forums

Hi,
I've been using the new noscript v10 and I noticed a lot of websites URLs are truncated at the beginning so I would see things like ...somesite.com where as before I would see the entire url this is frustrating on sites that have something like subdomain.somesite.com because it shows up still as ...somesite.com. I could be wrong but when I see "..." I feel like I could be missing some very important information in the url.

This was changed in 10.1.2 from 10.1.1.

I haven't seen any reasoning here or the blog for WHY that is.
It seriously inhibits finegraining via the interface.

If you HAVE to have specific rules for specific subdomains, apparently the only work around currently is to parse the websites sourcecode for that data and enter it manually into the config (which I find rather aggravating to say the least).
I hope that this is a temporary change to prevent something else from breaking (10.1.1 had it's share of significant bugs).

But then a bit of patience is needed, the work that got done in a rather short time was already nice; I think the rest will follow.
