Re: the embeddings settings - I have almost all of them checked on, except for "Forbid <IFRAME>", "Forbid <FRAME>" and "Forbid WebGL". I hesitate to block frames globally because I know that a few sites I go to use them.
One would think it would be an issue. Yet, it never seems to be. At a different thread, a user who is sightless and uses a voice-chip screen reader told me that certain elements in a page were in frames. I never saw it that way, and I use this (trusted) site with Forbid <FRAME> checked -- with everything checked, always, including "Apply to whitelisted sites". He saw it only because his screen reader often has to resort to reading the page's source code to identify some elements on a page. So it doesn't seem to be an actual problem.
WebGL has been the subject of several exploits ("hacking"). A Web search would turn up a number of them. I suppose it's useful for online gaming and such? ... which I don't do. Motto: "If you don't need it, don't allow it."
Try this for a few sessions or a few days? (everything on Embeddings checked) You can always change it with a few mouse clicks.
But it may make very little difference, and it's certainly applying the maximum possible safety.
I don't know javascript or much HTML but I can see that an iframe is involved when I look at the code related to this element. Is there a way to disable iframes in SLATE only? Not sur eif that will alos screw up the comments but I am willing to give that a try.
There are ways to set specific permissions per site, as in
Site-Specific-Permission Questions? PLEASE READ THIS FIRST! and
Creating Site-Specific Permissions via ABE, but if you are happy with the ABP solution, there is no need to go to the trouble.
Unless you just want to peruse that and see if it piques your interest.
In any event, I'm glad you got your slider blocked (and that I didn't have to try to unblock it -- thanks Alan
).
May we now marked this as Resolved?
Edit: Re: e-mail address: Yahoo allows you to set up disposable addresses, although the number allowed in a free account is quite small. You can pay and get more. But even with the free account, you can change a single disposable address as often as you like, if you need it on a one-time-only basis to get past some "login" or "register" barrier.
I have several different Yahoo accounts, all free. One is for business and real-life friends. Another is for usage among trusted web sites, like this one, and trusted e-friends. A third is for dealing with web merchants and other likely spammers. Yahoo too has very good spam filters. The first two addresses get almost no spam. The one used for online shopping and such gets some, but by default it goes to a Spam folder, not the Inbox. Thus, I am not bothered with spam at the addresses used most often.
And each account affords another "alias". Cheers.
