Re: [meta] Unwelcome changes around here.
We've been here before with Fluid Dynamics. The whole rational
explanation/discussion thing didn't work last time, and probably won't
this time.
I'd suggest ending this thread immediately.

Re: [meta] Unwelcome changes around here.
To expand my previous reply. What site are you talking about? I got your
email via my email client (Gmail) so what are you talking about?
And if you are talking about the Google Groups website, perhaps contact
them? This is completely the wrong place to complain about how your browser
reacts to some site's view of a mailing list. This list has 0 control over
whatever site it is that you use, so complaining here not only is
pointless, but is also just spam.

[meta] Unwelcome changes around here.
I don't know what you guys did, but as of about 2 days ago, when browsing
this site about 1 time in 20 after reading an article and then clicking
"back" to go back to the topic list my main Firefox window disappears and
is replaced by a small dialog with two options, "restart Firefox" and "quit
Firefox". I DON'T WANT TO DO EITHER. I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE TOPIC LIST.
THAT IS WHY I CLICKED THE "BACK" BUTTON AND NOT THE "RESTART OR QUIT"
BUTTON.
Whatever alterations you have made to this site a few days ago, you are to
un-make immediately. Hijacking your site's viewers' browsers is NOT
acceptable under ANY circumstances. If you have not restored the previous
behavior ("back" button behaves exactly as advertised, 100% of the time) in
three (3) days (so, by Monday morning), I will quit using this site and
recommend to everyone I know -- friends, everyone I work with, bosses, etc.
-- that they avoid this site due to browser hijacking behavior.
I recommend you simply retrieve the site's code as it existed a week ago
from your backup tapes (you DO keep backups, right?) and replace the
currently running web-app with this older version. The version of a week
ago lacked the objectionable browser hijacking behavior. It shouldn't take
you more than 30 minutes. Assuming you did your due diligence and kept
proper backups, especially making them before introducing changes that
could have major repercussions. That makes the three-day deadline quite
generous.
