@Dave jokers dns editing instructions are here joker.com/faq/books/jokercom-faq-en/page/… I doubt anybody in this chat has specific experience with them. To figure out the IP address to use for the subdomain, you need to set up hosting for it, just like you did for your main site. It could be a separate account at square or hosted by a completely different company. Square may even have functionality to set up several sites under one account

@Laurel Where is that from? That doesn't exactly match what I see on stackexchange.com/sites#oldest

It is shockingly easy to develop with poor security and privacy practices.

@PandaSurge That is often a sign that a website doesn't have good password practices. Limits on length or allowed characters often indicate that they store passwords in plain text rather than properly salting and hashing them. It is impossible to say for sure without having the site go through an internal security audit.

@AlMa0 It was migrated to UX ux.stackexchange.com/questions/148368/… where it was subsequently closed. I'm not sure that it fits on any Stack Exchange site though because it is asking for 3rd party recommendations.

@GypsySpellweaver yes

@GypsySpellweaver hi there

You could solve the by forwarding mail to gmail rather than having gmail poll for it through POP
Apr 21, 2023 17:47
Why do you still want POP when there is IMAP which is better in every possible way? I can understand not wanting to only have Exchange protocol for mail because it has so few clients that support it, but I can't see ever going back to POP for me.

The recommendations from this article look good to me: quicksprout.com/best-shared-hosting

@wr125 I'd recommend asking that at Server Fault.

@NickAlexeev I'm not sure. Maybe it has something to do with the site isolation feature in the Chrome browser support.google.com/chrome/answer/7623121?hl=en
Aug 28, 2022 20:34
@SphericalCowboy You should ask that at wordpress.stackexchange.com. I don't think we have anybody here that knows the WordPress internals well, but that is the specialty of the folks at the WordPress stack.
Aug 15, 2022 08:53
@NickAlexeev There is certainly that risk. I'd link each article on your site back to the original with "originally posted on X" and start supplementing with content that you write specifically for your blog.

@MartinSleziak interesting data

That would be file download links and maybe some PDFs depending on content disposition.
May 13, 2022 00:37
Chrome is the most used browser, so if the links don't work in Chrome, they don't work, IMO.
May 12, 2022 12:44
So fix spelling, improve grammar, remove greetings, and format it more nicely if the post needs it when you are bumping something.
May 12, 2022 12:44
@MartinSleziak You can and should edit links that don't work if you can fix them on Stack Exchange sites. The post doesn't need to be bumped for some other reason. Mass editing (more than a handful) of such posts in a short time could flood the home page of the stack, so I wouldn't recommend that. When you edit a post for any reason, it is also good practice to correct ALL the problems in that post.

@JohnDavid House ads are extremely common in many industries. TV stations show ads for other TV shows you can watch on that station. Showing your own ads on our own properties is cheaper than buying advertising elsewhere. It may even allow you to fill otherwise unsold ad inventory.

room topic changed to Webmasters: Chat discussion for Webmasters Stack Exchange -- Feel free to start new conversation topics, this room doesn't always get a lot of use, but regulars tend to check in at least daily. (no tags)
Mar 26, 2022 09:56
Maybe it is time that we build our own guide here with a community wiki question.
Mar 26, 2022 09:55
It looks like maybe they put up web.dev/hacked to replace it, but it is just two articles and not the in-depth resource that was in the Google help center.
Mar 26, 2022 09:54
Google removed their entire guide for fixing hacked sites! Now 404 :((((((( google.com/webmasters/hacked/?hl=en
Mar 21, 2022 09:30
I created the tag and made tag synonyms for it as discussed in meta webmasters.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1762/…
Mar 18, 2022 14:41
@MrWhite Its great to get clear, up-to-date guidance from Google. John doesn't beat around the bush like I feel Matt Cutts sometimes did. :)

I am going to stop posting close vote requests in this chat room. I've discovered that Stack Overflow has a chat room for this purpose: Stack Overflow Close Vote Reviewers (SOCVR). At any point there are several people in that chat and questions I post there generally get closed within minutes.

I found this spam that had been up for 21 hours. Can SD get a rule for it? stackoverflow.com/a/78248156
