These are today's Win updates:

  • continued stability improvements to Win's image hosting
  • can now resize textareas (when submitting comments and messages)
  • can now see the total number of comments in a thread from inbox and profile
  • added social media icons to desktop site's header
  • fixed dark mode sidebar background on mobile
  • made visited links a different color in dark mode, and a slight adjustment on light mode
  • "http" links are no longer eligible to be embedded
  • clicking post title on post page (as opposed to within a listing) now respects your "open links in new tab" setting
  • fixed pagination in inbox (previously pressing "next page" would revert you to sorting all messages, rather than your selection such as just comment replies, or just private messages)
  • fixed some issues caused by yesterday's font change (such as private message title no longer appearing bold)

As always, leave feedback, suggestions, and bug reports in the comments - and share TheDonald.win everywhere.

No that means that only https websites can be embedded, which are most sites. Https makes sure your connection is secure . Also, Kekpe.pe uses https.

It does but I made a silly mistake where people were still posting the http link when using it. All good to go now.

That's the complete opposite from what I'm reading.

Edit: Http ≠ https? What's the difference?

http = not encrypted, much like a postcard, where everyone who moves it from the sender to the receiver can read it

https = encrypted, like sending an envelope containing a shredded note written in a made-up language that only you and the recipient can correctly reassemble and understand (only more secure)

Embedding http in https can compromise the encrypted data by having access to it when not encrypted. (I know networking, but I've never read up on http embedded on an https page, so I don't know the finer details.)

HTTP is how the content you send gets from Point A (Your computer) to Point B (thedonald). It is also unencrypted meaning it gets sent as plain text so anybody intercepting in between A and B can read it. It was the general standard until around 2010ish when loads of websites starting moving exclusively to HTTPS.

HTTPS is encrypted HTTP. When your message is sent from Point A to Point B only you and the website you are posting to have the "key" to reading it. To anybody intercepting it is nothing but gibberish.

This ensures sensitive information like your email and password are only ever seen by the intended sender and recipient.

I was unaware of https that is all.
