What problems does it solve is probably a better question. It is none of Google's (or other third party) business that people visit this website I think - and visitors should be informed (in Europe it would be required to do so + given the option to opt-out). Perhaps it came as default with the cloudflare script. Perhaps you can "opt-out" of those defaults there and only use the script code you need for cloudflare - I see no point at all for a google translate script being loaded to be honest. Hardenize seems new as well? (such info cloudflare/hardenize etc should be in a websites privacy statement). I'm guessing there are quite a few European visitors. Just an observation. Edit: I can understand the need for security measures needed against certain users of course.

I have ALWAYS tracked every visit as it is built into this and most other bulletin boards, so did poly, so did Chris. If you think other sites dont you are naive. but with google analytics i get helpful insights on legit and ill-legit traffic. If you dont like translations that is fine but i have to be able to read all forums. i suspect others do as well. it hurts nothing and at least helps a few. you can always disable it. Hardenize isn't tracking, it scans the site for weaknesses and is a helpful tool for me to keep you safe.

Please fix spoilers (Digi theme), the button text is not visible, and the height should be reduced.
Also, the the inline code tag still looks bad...

@joedf Thank you, now the text is visible. :thumbup:
I think it would look better like this (fits better with the forum theme):

@swagfag It's always been like that. I dont know if that's the intended behaviour. I didn't make spoiler3 myself...
@Flipeador errr.... I mean.. I can add it if you really want me to, but I think this is somewhat out of scope. This should be done w/ the Stylish extension or something... ?

@joedf It's OK. The important thing is the second code (related to this).

Edit: ok, the change should be live :+1:

Well, IMO with one dark theme and one light theme is enough. I only use Digi, the other dark ones look very ugly to me.

Did you write .postlink:visited and .postlink:hover again?, you just had to change the content. I'm asking because the color of .postlink:visited doesn't seem to have changed... :crazy: I'm sorry, I just don't understand much about this... :) You're the expert. :thumbup: :salute:

Agreed... Oh wait, my bad. I thought they were simply not defined so all I did was append the rules somewhere, so they must be still overwritten somewhere.
I dont have much time now, I'll come back to this. thanks for reporting! :+1:

EDIT: updated digi postlink styles!

On the point of Google Translate, I kind of thought that was a good idea, since this website has multiple languages. To include that it's use is optional. There appears to be almost no getting around Google anyway, because websites will want to optimize their presence on Google.

I think people understand if visiting the AutoHotkey website, there are cookies or other features that might do tracking. However, most people are probably concerned about 3rd party IP addresses and companies that are performing tracking and data collection. Google and Cloudfare (which the AutoHotkey website uses) is one thing, but other companies (particularly involved in tracking and data collection) would be something else.
