Title: IRC Web Client Legalese
Post by: redyoshi49q on August 14, 2012, 08:29:51 pm: I noticed this a few days ago, since I recently had to use somebody else's computer to access the IRC.

The IRC web interface has a landing page (http://irc.furtopia.org) and a page for the actual client (http://irc.furtopia.org/chat.php) (my link lacks host/port/username data in the URL, so the java client crashes; the rest of the page still appears as it otherwise would). At the bottom of the webpage for the web client itself (the second of the two pages), there's a block of text, which is quoted below.

Quote
Furtopia web hosting community, "furtopia.org" and all its' original works Copyright © 2001.

Web page hosting and furtopia.org are provided to the furry community by: WhiteShepherd and Kada-Ru.

I formatted the above text to look like the text on that page; as such, "furtopia.org" is in green text, and "Whiteshepherd" and "Kada-Ru" are formatted as if they were links. Since the original web page has a white background, though, the rest of the text cannot be seen on the original page without highlighting.

It's a tiny thing, but it still seemed to be worth mentioning.

You can right click and copy the email address in most browsers, or if you have a default mailing client set up clicking the links will open a new message to that email address.

I know what those links on the original page are. I formatted my text such that those words appeared as links instead of actually making them links. I didn't want to fiddle with BBC code to try and figure out how to accomplish the same thing (and didn't realize at the time that there's a button for that on the post composition page...).

...I probably could have been more clear, though. Sorry about the confusion.

The copyright in the "landing page (http://irc.furtopia.org)" has a literal “c” in place of the proper circle c “©” copyright symbol.

(For convenience, © = U+00A9)

Post by: Kada-Ru on August 16, 2012, 11:01:26 am: I see what is happening and WS will have to see if I can still access where this page is in order for me to fix it. I agree, it is a problem.
