No, I meant actually developing for the web browser control making the contents of the control interact with the application.

You can find the legacy web browser controls even in the newest versions of Access. However, web technologies have moved on and IE couldn't keep up. Then, Google developed Chromium and a lot of folks forked it or worked on top of it, Microsoft included, and now a lot of browsers are based on...

I have reported this whole thing. Greetings.

I couldn't make it work, but does it give you an object model to manipulate the application or is this just for the amusement of opening an application from an Access form?

How about a LLM moderating mods?

You check the IP and if it's from UK, you get limited access or no access at all. Holy Sith, 99% of the Watercooler then?

Can anybody please explain what that pesky legislation is flagging? How is this site harmful to children exactly? Is it the utteraccess owner thread, that's the only thing that comes close, right? Something else? Perhaps the war happy propaganda? Is it the mods wishing to bomb civilians? What is...

That's a LLM you're replying to. Either that or LLMs write exactly like Jason does. Anyways, so the current situation is: 1. AWF relies on threads about politics to subsist 2. Threads about politics hurt ad revenue 3. UK legislation is the source of the problem 4. UK legislation applies if the...

According to a basic whois search, the servers are already in the US, but Jon could probably make the .co.uk domain point to a .com or whatever else

@Pat Hartman Because the Watercooler belongs to this Access forum. Access is not politics, it's software.

Come to think of it, The Watercooler seems to be a contention board, and that toxicity has clearly taken its toll.

Much of the Watercooler content is straight up TruthSocial material. Access users shouldn't really have to deal with that kind of conversation when they're trying to find answers. Meanwhile, Watercooler-only users would fit right in on platforms like TruthSocial or Twitter/X. There's probably a...

Yes. If the content you consume from LLM is strictly technical, I guess it's fine.

That's the kind of dangers I'm warning about in my post: Don't get your news from LLMs. I will tell you why: Imagine a powerful entity, maybe a politician or maybe a very rich person. Let's say you saw that entity do something very wrong, but since they have power/money, they pay the most...

Out of curiosity: how is this affecting you in particular? Are you using the "search for me" tool from your AI tool a lot lately or what is going on exactly? Note: I suggest you people don't let an AI search for you unless you don't really care too much, you don't know what sources it will cite...

Sort of like the recent "Stop killing videogames" iniciative, where players are imploring AAA game dev firms to stop shutting down the servers that games need, when they think the games aren't profitable anymore. The initiative basically encourages these companies to open source their games...

@BlueSpruce This forum stands a much better chance of survival by staying niche, rather than diversifying in that way. That's because each of those themes already has its own communities, which are often available at the cost of a free sign up. I'd probably add a forum board to discuss...

@BlueSpruce Do you wanna turn this Access forum into something else? perhaps an AI "enhanced" forum? for what purpose?

If you google something, you can still see many pages of results, so Google shows your site regardless of this change. What I've seen reported is different. You see, SEO tools track how a site ranks in search results from Google. These tools were designed using a special parameter in the URL to...

1. Hosting competitions regularly 2. Rotating mods regularly 3. Welcoming new technologies 4. Community projects Things like 1 and 3 or 1 and 4 could be combined. These don't even require the site owner to be involved, but that would make things easier.
