As we all know, BattleOn forums have an interceptor warning about player posted links outside of AE websites....but it blocks BattleOn.com, AQWWiki, etc.
Please fix.

The interceptor is set up to warn you when you are leaving the forums, so it will do it for all web pages. It can quite easily be turned off: Go to Profile, scroll down and set "Link Safety Reminder" to No.

No, I think he's merely suggesting that certain sites not be intercepted because they are obviously affiliated with AE, like the ones he specified.

I realize what he's suggesting, but the forum does that to let you know that you're leaving it. Since affiliated sites aren't part of the forums, I'm not sure the interceptor should be coded to allow them to bypass it. That is why I suggested turning off the interceptor as an option if the original poster finds it bothersome.

@Dev: But I find that AQW does not show an interception message even though it leaves the forums. Nor does DF. I believe he's suggesting that if that happens for one game, let it be done for all games. Also, I have my interception messages on.

Inconceivable!

It does seem that the Link Safety Reminder is capable of having exceptions added since Dragonfable, EpicDuel and Master Account websites bypass the link intercept.

The interceptor's purpose is to make sure users pay attention when they visit non-AE sites from forum links, however all the AE sites should be unblocked since they are harmless. As the Safety Reminder says:

quote:

You are attempting to access a page that is not an Artix Entertainment website.

This just confuses people when they attempt to go to an AE site and receive this message. Additionally, I think the Wikis should be removed off the list too since they are already linked from the character pages themselves.

Here's a short list of what should be exempt from the link interceptor. It looks like many of the AE sites work only if typed as "www.aq.com" and are blocked if typed as "aq.com"

Websites:
http://aq.com
http://battleon.com
http://battleon.com/warpforce/
http://dragonfable.com - works already
http://mechquest.com
http://epicduel.com - works already
http://herosmash.com
http://portal.battleon.com - works already

Games:
http://aq.battleon.com/Build30/game.asp - works already
http://guardian.battleon.com/Build30/game.asp
http://aq.battleon.com/Build30/warpforce.asp - works already
http://guardian.battleon.com/Build30/warpforce.asp
http://dragonfable.battleon.com/game/
http://dragonlord.battleon.com/game/
http://mechquest.battleon.com/game/
http://www.aq.com/play-now/ - works already
http://epicduel.battleon.com
http://www.herosmash.com/play-now/

Wikis:
http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com
http://hswiki.wikidot.com
