Not sure where Linux stores plugins but in Windows I believe by default 
they're stored in the program installation folder in a sub-folder called 
plugins.  Some are installed in other locations but SM scans for them

Geez. Do you feel good about yourself now BS Nasty?


As long as Phillip spreads FUD, yes I do.



The comment was regarding him being able to have a web site online.


At least he put forth an effort and created something for his family,
regardless of what he used to do it. That's more than millions of
other people have done.


The site he was discussing was not his regularly posted 'family' site,
but was for some sort of association - with members' data at risk to
public exposure. Would you think it is a good idea to let him go on and
expose their information to the public, when that was not what was
requested of him?


Again, the comment was regarding being able to have a web site online,
which is for his family's purposes. You're twisting the two together.




Now go and blast every site designer that used FP to code sites
instead,


FrontPage? Doesn't matter what the tool is, if the site is not doing
what it is supposed to be doing.


You blasted him for using Dreamweaver. That's the point. Thousands use
FP and produce crappy websites. Phillip used what tool he could not
knowing how to code by hand.




and leave Phillip be.


What are your thoughts on allowing him to spread false information?



Wow, that's the first time that's happened in these groups...

Terry R.


Originally created crappy pages because I had to learn on my own without
help what so ever, I was given originally DreamWeaver and told your web
master of this website. Then when I made my own pages I tried to do the
right thing originally with XHTML. Well times change and I updated my
own site using HTML 4.0.1 Strict. But people made fun because I use
Tables for photos. Still use some on two pages. But at least there are
no error.

Now this other Association asked me the possibility of creating a site
for them. As They liked what I had done with the original Association
site I had worked on.

I just need the one section Members only to be private. The other would
be public information.

I frequent sites that use captcha before I can do anything (mostly to
prove a person is doing something) I thought that might do. But due to
everyone ragging me found out that's not secure enough. So I will look
into username/password.

If you want to see how bad there current site is Look at
http://www.sesda.org

That's it.

they want just more than basically Convention Page. They use aspx pages
in the original site.



Phillip, if you have a thick enough skin take this discussion to one of
these groups:

alt.html
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets
comp.inforsystems.www.authoring.html
alt.www.webmaster

Look, what you're trying to do is very simple assuming your hosting
service provides the right tools.

If you don't already have a provider, research it.  You referenced Go
Daddy.  Not a good reputation from what I've found.  We all have biases
but, honestly, I've had great service from 1 and 1 dot com.  It's a
super value.  But I wouldn't touch Go Daddy with a four foot Italian.

And, if I can help in a way that isn't appropriate for these groups,
email me.



Already signed up to them already.

Thanks for proving you don't know what a CAPTCHA is - or how to
design a secure web site.


In captcha you are required Type a series of letters or numbers that
have been altered to make them difficult to read Only when the are
correctly entered are you able to on continue on.


Yes, that is exactly what a CAPTCHA image is. What about the part where
you think it makes your members only secure from the public?


It's a Turing test [1]. Are you a human or a robot? Unfortunately,
CAPTCHA images have been cracked by bots. They are no longer secure.


No response to that?


They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you
would have a private, members only section accessible only to the
members? If any human on the planet goes to your entry page they can
interpret the distorted image and gain access to your 'private'
information.

What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page
where your association members are listed? Will random access to that
page redirect them back to the 'login' page?

You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the
user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.

You should tell your association that you don't understand or know how
to write a private web site.

[1. Did you have to look that up? ]


If I have to put in a User Name /password system will for that page.


What database are you using? Which server-side programming language?
PHP, ASP, PERL? You can't do it with just HTML.

Do you understand that it needs to include *all* pages in the members
only portion of the web site? (You didn't respond to the rest of the
issues...)


Current have the Skeleton pages setup as html. should be able to convert
them.

If Google owns and knows the captcha database, then it will be easy
to bypass the captcha and get private information. For example I want
to be able to put a membership list of the members of the
association: names, business names, addresses, Phones, emails for the
members to view. Now because Google owns the best Captcha software
company there is out there, there now, no secure method of doing so.


You need to explain how you were planning on using a CAPTCHA image on
the association's login page. Does it not already have a user name and a
password assigned to each member? How will a distorted image give Google
the user's password?

I have a site with exactly what you state you want to do. It's for a
club. There is a Members Only portion of the site, and nobody can enter
it without knowing a user's name and individual password. What good
would a CAPTCHA do for a page like that? Did you ever have to enter a
CAPTCHA value when you log into your bank's pages for your account
details?

If you are *not* using name and password access, it's your fault if the
private information is compromised.

Google, nor any other search engine, cannot access my site.



there are sections of website the association wants everyone to see. But
then there would be one section the Members-Only section should be
hidden from view of Google and other items such as Yahoo , Altavista an
so on.


using a Captcha does the same thing as using a username and password
without the need for such


No, it isn't the same thing at all.  You do not understand the 
difference and should stop talking about it until you do.



and until Google bought the leading captcha
software developer, It was as secure as having a user name and password.



Captcha is a technique, it is NOT some proprietary script, Web 
technology etc.  You obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about.


The forms scripts I use that happen to use a captcha technique cannot be 
accessed by anyone but a human being who can read and type.  Maybe one 
day someone will build a piece of sw that can read a jumblepd-up bunch 
of pixels and correctly respond to them but it isn't possible right now.


I don't care what company Google bought, it has nothing to do with the 
captcha technique in the scripts I use.


Once again, Phillip, you are speaking before you understand.  And, in 
the process, spreading paranoic mis-information.  Usually your mistakes 
are merely amusing.  In this case, sorry, it's damaging and needlessly 
nutty.

No it does not. You cannot log in to a sight with just a captcha
routine but you CAN login w/o it by entering your user/pass. All captcha
is, is a challenge-response mechanism to insure that computer generated

The site he was discussing was not his regularly posted 'family' site,
but was for some sort of association - with members' data at risk to
public exposure. Would you think it is a good idea to let him go on and
expose their information to the public, when that was not what was

So what is Googel going to do with your association members'

If Google owns and knows the captcha database,  then it will be
easy to bypass the captcha and get private information. For example
I want to be able to put a membership list of the members of the
association: names, business names, addresses, Phones, emails for
the members to view. Now because Google owns the best Captcha
software company there is out there, there now, no secure method of
doing so.


You need to explain how you were planning on using a CAPTCHA image
on the association's login page. Does it not already have a user
name and a password assigned to each member? How will a distorted
image give Google the user's password?

I have a site with exactly what you state you want to do. It's for a
club. There is a Members Only portion of the site, and nobody can
enter it without knowing a user's name and individual password. What
good would a CAPTCHA do for a page like that?  Did you ever have to
enter a CAPTCHA value when you log into your bank's pages for your
account details?

If you are *not* using name and password access, it's your fault if
the private information is compromised.

Google, nor any other search engine, cannot access my site.


there are sections of website the association wants everyone to see.


Great. The public part of the web site.


But then there would be one section the Members-Only section should
be hidden from view of Google and other  items such as Yahoo ,
Altavista an so on.


Yeah, search engines. Great. What about non-members?


using a Captcha does the same thing as using a username and password
without the need for such and until Google bought  the leading
captcha software developer, It was as secure as having a user name
and password.


Thanks for proving you don't know what a CAPTCHA is - or how to design a
secure web site.


In captcha you are required Type a series of letters or  numbers that 
have been altered to make them difficult to read Only when the are 
correctly entered are you able to on continue on.



It's a Turing test [1]. Are you a human or a robot? Unfortunately,
CAPTCHA images have been cracked by bots. They are no longer secure.

They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you
would have a private, members only section accessible only to the
members? If any human on the planet goes to your entry page they can
interpret the distorted image and gain access to your 'private'
information.

What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page
where your association members are listed?  Will random access to that
page redirect them back to the 'login' page?

You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.

You should tell your association that you don't understand or know how
to write a private web site.

[1. Did you have to look that up? ]



If I have to put in a User Name /password system will for that page.

No it does not. You cannot log in to a sight with just a captcha
routine but you CAN login w/o it by entering your user/pass. All captcha
is, is a challenge-response mechanism to insure that computer generated
access is not automatic via a script, etc.

Okay then Captcha is not the way to go. I'll have to investigate adding

PHP, ASP, PERL?  You can't do it with just HTML.

Do you understand that it needs to include *all* pages in the members

It would be nice, rather than constantly belittling you, that someone
with the time (I don't unfortunately) can take you aside via email or
otherwise to instruct you on proper procedure, etc. for what you intend

applications such as WordPress, Joomla, PHPnuke and so on, all of which
use CAPTCHA - User/Pass authentication and so on. Most all of my PHP
sites, including the UFAQ run with RavenNuke, very very secure and
updated regularly. See www.ravenphpscripts.com, I am on the dev team btw.



I have WordPress blog on my website. But for Now I don't know their 
provider. For Now I've been getting the skeleton of the site up and running


http://www.phillipmjones.net/SESDA/default.html

Don't knock the color scheme its their choice  I even added some 
rollover buttons when clicked will switch next page. all are using same 
layout and yes I am using a CSS

Yes, that is exactly what a CAPTCHA image is. What about the part where

CAPTCHA images have been cracked by bots. They are no longer secure.


No response to that?


They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you
would have a private, members only section accessible only to the
members? If any human on the planet goes to your entry page they can
interpret the distorted image and gain access to your 'private'
information.

What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page
where your association members are listed?  Will random access to that
page redirect them back to the 'login' page?

You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.

You should tell your association that you don't understand or know how
to write a private web site.

[1. Did you have to look that up? ]


If I have to put in a User Name /password system will for that page.


What database are you using? Which server-side programming language?
PHP, ASP, PERL?  You can't do it with just HTML.

Do you understand that it needs to include *all* pages in the members
only portion of the web site?  (You didn't respond to the rest of the

Phew, and I had hoped to not have this URL spread to widely because I 
have no clue what heavy hitting it and its links will do to the server - 
and when you publish it here, Google and others will probably go and 
follow every link to index it...


Also, note that this is just an automated statistics tool, not an 
official directory for module owners or peers.


We will update the project areas list that should act as that, we have 
planned a session for doing that in the upcoming SeaMonkey Developer 
Meeting in October.

I agree that Google is an enemy of privacy, and of freedom itself, in
some fundamental ways - their leadership is way out of control.

As for Captcha, I seem to recall that there are some Google-free
alternatives.

BTW: I wonder if anyone has created a Web page logo something like
Another Google-free Web page linked to a site that lists all of
the anti-privacy and anti-freedom activities of Google?

I'd sure add it to my sites.

I use http://startpage.com, clusty.com, yippy.com, and other
google-free search engines. I don't miss anything by doing so.
I never google, I search!

Have you heard the pompous declarations of the head of Google?

That soon people will not ask Google merely for information
but will rely upon them for direction because Google has gathered
so much data about them over so long a period of time that they
know more about them than they do.

If that does not frighten you then I have to guess that you are
missing his intent.

This is a dangerous man with too much money and power and too
many resources.

It has nothing to do with paranoia, it has to do with the
application of clear thinking to a clear and present danger
to privacy and to freedom.

Orwell's 1984 may be a few decades late but according to Google
they are about to make it into a reality is ways one may have
to morph 1984 and The Matrix to contemplate.

There is a reason Google is being investigated and sued by
government agencies around the world.

Let's not be blind - history is replete with the terrible
consequences resulting from ignoring obvious threats to
freedom.

No one *needs* Google - so since they have clearly stated their
intend to invade privacy and to attack freedom how about we just
make our own decision to part company with them?

It's not hard.

 If Google owns and knows the captcha database,  then it will be easy 
to bypass the captcha and get private information. For example I want to 
be able to put a membership list of the members of the association: 
names, business names, addresses, Phones, emails for the members to 
view. Now because Google owns the best Captcha software company there is 
out there, there now, no secure method of doing so.


The CEO of Google has said in articles reported on cNet, Zdnet, and 
Computerworld, that viewer/user/Consumer security and Privacy, is of no

 If Google owns and knows the captcha database,  then it will be easy
 to bypass the captcha and get private information. For example I want
 to be able to put a membership list of the members of the
 association: names, business names, addresses, Phones, emails for the
 members to view. Now because Google owns the best Captcha software
 company there is out there, there now, no secure method of doing so.

You need to explain how you were planning on using a CAPTCHA image on
the association's login page. Does it not already have a user name and a
password assigned to each member? How will a distorted image give Google
the user's password?

I have a site with exactly what you state you want to do. It's for a
club. There is a Members Only portion of the site, and nobody can enter
it without knowing a user's name and individual password. What good
would a CAPTCHA do for a page like that?  Did you ever have to enter a
CAPTCHA value when you log into your bank's pages for your account
details?

If you are *not* using name and password access, it's your fault if the
private information is compromised.

Google, nor any other search engine, cannot access my site.

Well, you're wrong, they do.

 I was considering a Captcha software to put on Web page on a website for
 an association, I found out that Googel had purchased it. So Now the
 members only page  on the site will have to eliminated because Google
 has a hand in it and can use the captcha Database to break into secure
 sites.
 
 I trust Google about as far as I can pitch them.

Great. The public part of the web site.

Yeah, search engines. Great. What about non-members?

Thanks for proving you don't know what a CAPTCHA is - or how to design a
secure web site.

It's a Turing test [1]. Are you a human or a robot? Unfortunately,
CAPTCHA images have been cracked by bots. They are no longer secure.

They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you
would have a private, members only section accessible only to the
members? If any human on the planet goes to your entry page they can
interpret the distorted image and gain access to your 'private'
information.

What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page
where your association members are listed?  Will random access to that
page redirect them back to the 'login' page?

You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.

You should tell your association that you don't understand or know how
to write a private web site.

Look at the list of devs (module owners) here:

Now, compare the reporters in the list to see who is a dev and who is a

Finally Found the bug I was referring to:

mine is 597784

original is:

580442

It has title as described. By some of the contents of some developers
its appears to be a deliberate attempt  to limit  users' abilities to do
what they want.

now go read both.

then come back and say I like to spread stuff around.

As I've commented in both I will remain at 2.0.6 until the code its
removed, a way to bypass in about:config is figured out, or someone
comes up with a hack to turn that code off.

also I suggested (I did not say how easy) that to go at it, from users
point of view, and put in a Preference to turn off receiving such
specific items. That way the people that need it have it, can. Those
that don't want to see it, can turn it off.



They're all against you Phillip, only you.



Yep.

Actually I've been told a fix is in the works.

Its curious that we been doing what as in 2.0.6 and lower since 
Communicator Day's about 12 years or more and they just decide it was 
supposed to be a security risk. I have seen anything risky out it for 12 
or more years.


This will be my last post on this issue. Don't rock any boat if a fix 
is in the works.

That is not programming steps needed to upgrade the module(s) necessary

I understand what you are saying to do but it needs a programmer to
write the code necessary, etc. And THAT is not that simple. Then you
need someone capable to take the time. In open-source it's not always a
simple task to attract a contributor away from what they do for a living
as well as fix bugs for free and so on in the time they already have

You are not looking hard enough. Look harder. I fixed the following
bugs:

Bug 86400 reported by David Carroll
Bug 156734 reported by Jeremy M. Dolan
Bug 388349 reported by Ed
Bug 395371 reported by arno renevier
Bug 414014 reported by Eyal Rozenberg
Bug 482433 reported by Chris Wimlett
Bug 534248 reported by Aleksej
Bug 534322 reported by Kevin Brosnan

Actually I fixed more but I got bored searching through bugzilla.



Could you fix this
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218258
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595696

or tell me how can i fix it


Bug 218258 - only 28 votes in 7 years? I don't think it will get
fixed. More of a new feature request than a bug.


Only 28 votes  and you forgot the huge list of bugs closed because a
duplicate of this one.


Anyhow 'gator' on April 4, 2010, suggested a work-a-round. See comment
#61 at the bug page. This should satisfy the few that need the
function.


NO this doesnot statify the request - In addition the asked thing is
already coded in the forward mechanism - this mechanism could be easely
called when doing a reply - this not a great job to be done.




You speak about the fact that this bug should be an RFE  this why i
created https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595696 which is a
RFE ... this RFE will stay at it is for another cycle of 7 years or
more. As Phillip Jones said: 'developers believe that users can't know
what they want, that only developers know what users want. And tend to
ignore users wishes.'   and i add : Evenwhile if the work to be done is
mimimal.


If it's minimal than add a comment to your RFE explaining the minimal
steps in detail so that programmers reading it will get it and do it in
their spare time.


if you read the text, you will imediately see that's a minimal work - in
short:
1. Create an option named Reply-header-like-forward and use it when
replying to a mail is this way:

If Reply-header-like-forward is true then
callforward-header-composition;

---
If i know how to modify SeaMonkey, i can give a try.


That is not programming steps needed to upgrade the module(s) necessary
to effect the change(s). If it's that simple then do it.



If someone told me not to do it, but how i can participate for the 
coding  i can try to implement it.

Both bugs are RFE bugs (Request For Enhancment) and not defects in the
application. Don't expect either one to be worked on unless someone
decides that they have the time away from fixing bugs.

Why don't you simply go through the first 50 and report back to us who
are devs and who are users that are the original reporters. If you have
any doubt then post the names and we'll confirm. Keep in mind that that
list are FIXED bugs.

or tell me how can i fix it


In reading the first bug from one end proves exactly my point that
developers believe that users can't know what they want, that only
developers know what users want. And tend to ignore users wishes.



Do you know what a RFE bug is and where they sit on the priority list?



Yes I know what Referral For Enhancement is:

But did you see all the arguments against the suggestion?

with all the arrangements against. there was no chance it would even 
been looked at.


You can actually tell what will get fixed or added just by comments. If 
there are no comments with a week. or if the vast majority of comments 
are negative. nothing will be fixed


Go look at bugs That have no comments, and those that have mostly 
negative comments. Now see one with good comment as majority and see for 
yourself which have been fixed or are being worked on.

In fact, a very recent request/wish was made by Timo P in the

handily and may show up in the next release. Timo is making suggestions
and the devs are listening. BTW, Timo is a user.

What you're alluding to is that developers only fix bugs for their own
enjoyment/amusement and that users don't count. Where in heaven's name
do you get this stuff, Phillip?




well in a way that's true  because Open source depends upon people or 
companies that want to wish to donate free time. They have day jobs and 
do this in spare time. It could be for entertainment.


But what was I was really trying get across is that developers tend to 
fix bugs if  other developers point out mistakes. But non techie users 
they just roll their eyes at and move on.

Bug 218258 - only 28 votes in 7 years? I don't think it will get

Only 28 votes  and you forgot the huge list of bugs closed because a 
duplicate of this one.



Anyhow 'gator' on April 4, 2010, suggested a work-a-round. See comment
#61 at the bug page. This should satisfy the few that need the function.


NO this doesnot statify the request - In addition the asked thing is 
already coded in the forward mechanism - this mechanism could be easely 
called when doing a reply - this not a great job to be done.




You speak about the fact that this bug should be an RFE  this why i 
created https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595696 which is a 
RFE ... this RFE will stay at it is for another cycle of 7 years or

Finally Found the bug I was referring to:

mine is 597784

original is:

580442

It has title as described. By some of the contents of some developers 
its appears to be a deliberate attempt  to limit  users' abilities to 
do what they want.


now go read both.

then come back and say I like to spread stuff around.

As I've commented in both I will remain at 2.0.6 until the code its 
removed, a way to bypass in about:config is figured out, or someone 
comes up with a hack to turn that code off.


also I suggested (I did not say how easy) that to go at it, from users 
point of view, and put in a Preference to turn off receiving such 
specific items. That way the people that need it have it, can. Those 
that don't want to see it, can turn it off.

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218258
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595696

  or tell me how can i fix it


Both bugs are RFE bugs (Request For Enhancment) and not defects in the
application. Don't expect either one to be worked on unless someone
decides that they have the time away from fixing bugs.



Well, not only that, but, as I read 580442 there are some implied 
security issues.  So, given the few users interested and/or affected?  I 
doubt there's any likelihood this will be addressed.

Technically your not a User. You work on Plugins and extensions so you
are a developer. I like most people no thing at all about the
mechanics. Heck I only just recently learned about what I could CSS.
All I know is when I use something what it did or would do, and what not
is not doing or can no longer do And Try to explain to the best of my
abilities Which most make light of. But its the best I can do.



Cripes Phillip!!! Re-read the message, especially the lines  ...
reported by ...

How many of those reporters do you think/know are devs? My guess ..
NONE!!


I can't make that guess because I don't know first hand the names of any
developers other than Phil Chee.



Umm, then, Phillip, perhaps you ought to refrain from making claims 
about devs and their motivations?

Phillip, I think everyone owes you an apology, especially those

Oh, by the way, in order to see what Phillip is talking about, make sure
you're using the newest seamonkey or thunderbird for this testing.


Thanks Ubiquity. Other than a bug number, that's the info we've been 
asking for (what sanitizer). The pref Phillip cited is for the 
View--Message_Body_As--Simple_HTML setting. The change in SeaMonkey 
2.0.7 is likely the result a security fix to Gecko, but without bug 
numbers, I can't be sure.

http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/seamonkey20.html#seamonkey2.0.7

It would be best to ask in mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey about whether or 
not the change affected SeaMonkey mail composition intentionally or not.


Finally, no-one called Phillip dumb, or stupid, or an idiot, just like 
no-one called him a crackpot. What I said is that he has a tendency to 
spread misinformation.

We share the same backend mailnews code with Thunderbird and the backend

mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird instead since we would just refer you there
in any case.

I don't spread disinformation intentional and *for most part never*. 
( Won't say I never have) It just what I report is people are not 
interested in investigating. Possibly because I am not a developer.


 Developers never take bugs that users find as serious. They have the 
attitude of what the h... does a dumb a... user know about anything. We 
designed it the way it was supposed to work. ne when a another 
developer comes a along hey fix this does anything get done.

I've never seen a case where developers corrected a bug a user found.

Heck I just requested two bugs of mine be closed  this week, because of 
inaction. One had my report and one comment. No one had even 
investigated. The person commenting on it a few days ago was asking 
whether I still had the problem? I submitted the bug in 2006. There was 
not so much as anyone commenting at the time, your report has been noted 
or anything.  Yet at the time it was a common bug.


I don't expect anything even recognition of my latest bug. I just don't 
have any faith in the system. It useless to report bugs.


And BTW, the comments you quoted is *not information* its my *opinion*

There are many cases where bugs are filed that have already been fixed
or the fix is included in the next release. Sometimes the devs just
don't have the time to comment on every bug entered, etc.

Or maybe they just don't like you!! And how is your paranoia doing
today? :-)

Since 2003, I have submitted 246 bug reports.

*  25 have been fixed.

*  18 were closed as Works for me, some of which I closed myself when
I could no longer recreate the problem.

*  57 were closed as duplicates of other bug reports.  21 of those
others have been closed as either fixed or Works for me.

*  Of the 94 that are still open, 31 are requests for enhancements
(RFEs) and thus are not software discrepancies.

*  Of the 94 that are still open, another 21 involve Web sites that are
sniffing for Firefox instead of Gecko.  These are bugs in the
affected Web sites, not in any Mozilla-based product.

*  Of the 94 of my bug reports that are still open, 40 reflect actual
software discrepancies.

No, I'm not a developer.  I'm a interested user who used to be a
software test engineer (not for Mozilla).
