I have a website and I use Facebook comments box. The problem I am having is that facebook closes the commenting space after 6 or 7 commments are made (example http://www.fotokio.com/SDoV ). Comments are very important for my website and I want to have as many as posible without it closing the commenting space. Here is an example of a place where depsite of having a lot of comments the commenting space (box) is still open: http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/472/
Thanks,

I used stackoverflow a lot. But many times when I read questions and try to figure out what people done with changes, unfortunately I cannot see images. Instead only thumbnail is shown.
For example: In this question
A question asked with image that - I think- shows what is wrong. But cannot see the preview or image.
Even if you can check the accepted answer, guy said "Screen shots of my solution" but images still not showing.
This is what shown
So funny that even image I have uploaded for this question is not shown! It says "Cannot reach to i.stack.imgur.com"
Probably your access to i.stack.imgur.com is blocked, by your company or internet provider, as the content can be unpredictable like adult content.
I have this exact same problem, it's so frustrating isn't it!?!
The only solution I have found is I use Epic Privacy Browser which has an in-built proxy. I turn that on and images from i.stack.imgur.com will actually load (whether it's the website itself or a SO post. It's not an ideal solution having to open in another browser, but it's the only solution I have found so far. Weird as my ISP isn't blocking any other site.
yesterday I created a simple "quote of the day" script for my google site. The script reads the quote from a google sheet. I also wanted each quote to go
with a companion image, which I host in my google drive (the image Ids also are stored in the sheet).
I followed the instructions explained here, and everything seemed to work fine. The permissions for the images was "everyone with the link within my institution" (this is supposed to work in a website on the google apps for education).
It was a success, because the images did display correctly.
Today I opened that page again, and the images have disappeared.
I know that image hosting was discontinued in 2016, but I think it was a different way of hosting (no permalink). Indeed, as I mention, yesterday I could see the images in the website.
Also, when I write the "permalink" in chrome address bar I get "403. That’s an error. We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know." This happens despite I'm the owner of the file, and I'm logged in the correct google account. Also, it happens irrespective of the browser and/or machine I use (I tried with my phone too).
I also tried what explained here, although I'm not sure I understand that completely. There should be a problem though, because instead of the image I get the alt text (NA).
Is the "permalink" method still supposed to work?
Could this be a problem of excessive traffic? I haven't even published the page yet, I only did some testing...
What is the best way of displaying images from google drive into google sites, without resorting to third party services?
Thanks a lot
Francesco
You already answered your question. Hosting on Google Drive has been stopped.
However, you can try the workaround from this SO post where you'll use the URL:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id={IMAGE_FILE_ID}
It worked fine when use with the <img src="{IMAGE_URL}"> HTML tag. That's the closest thing to what you're trying to do.
You can also try Firebase Storage where you host your images on the cloud and display them on your web page.
This is at least a partial answer to the problem I tried to explain, which I'm summarizing below:
I was hosting images for a page in my google site on my google drive, via the syntax
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id={IMAGE_FILE_ID}
the sharing settings of the individual images was "anyone with the link within [my institution]";
this worked for one single day and then stopped working: the images stopped showing, and I could not figure out why. All this happenened a few days ago (oct 21-22 2017), and hence cannot possibly have to do with google discontinuing a previous service, which happened in 2016;
this happened despite I was logged into the account in my institution (and hence the owner of the images).
I found out that the problem appears to be in the sharing settings. Apparently, the images only display if their sharing settings are "public on the web" or "anyone with the link". Instead "anyone with the link within [my institution]", or more restrictive settings won't work. The first settings were mentioned in the webpage I linked, but I thought it would also work with "anyone with the link within [my institution]" (and, for one day, it did).
I also tried by setting the permissions of the parent folder. In that case only "public on the web" would work. With anything more restrictive than that the images won't display.
Despite I carefully double checked all this, I think this permissions thing seems to be a bit erratic though.
As I mention, on the first day (oct 21) the images would display even with "anyone with the link within [my institution]. I could swear on my life that, before the systematic tests I just finished carrying out, all was working with the folder settings to "anyone with the link [within my institution]". Now that setting won't work.
I know, I said "it appears" a bunch of times. This is because all of this is just from my point of view, so far. I still have to share the link of the page I'm preparing. As soon as I can I'm going to ask a colleague to take a look at it.
What I anyway want is that the page displaying the images is visibile only to people within my institution, for the moment being.
However, now I'm at least able to see the images hosted in drive, in my website.
I have an annoying problem and am hoping someone will be able to help.
We use quite a few extensions on our Joomla site (Roksprocket mainly but also Global News Filter for instance).
The modules themselves are working fine however when I click on an article in one of these modules the article opens but it doesn't use the nice URL that should be displayed (we have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to Yes and Use URL rewriting set to Yes). This happens for all modules that draw off a category (so I don't think its linked to a specific extension).
For instance on our Case Studies page if you click on Read More on the RSA Case Study you get this URL
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/99-home/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/649-case-study-rsa
but what you should get is the menu item URL associated with this article which is this
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/rsa
I don't think there is anything wrong with our .htaccess as I reverted back to the default Joomla one and it still occured.
Also this used to work perfectly. I first noticed it around October or November last year.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it, I've googled the problem many times and not found any help.
Thanks
Emma
FIXED.
Due to a Joomla bug. Fixed by overwriting the route.php file as described in this post: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=625&t=831007&start=30
A few weeks ago I have noticed that a line of text appeared in the filter box of one the administration page of Joomla. It's something like 'destination=city:london'. I must have accidentally pasted this text into this box, I suppose
Since then, I can't get rid of it, so practically I cannot list any item on any admin page, because this taxt appears in the 'Filter' box initially, and if I delete it manually, it simply get back into the box.
How could I get rid of it?
I have alread cleared cache, but no success. Now this string occupies the 'filter' box of EVERY page of the admin area. I cannot work on my site any more.
Please help.
(I have posted this question at official Joomla forum weeks ago, but I didn't get reply so far)
Finally it disappeared after clearing the cache a few times. It took a day to work, it seems I was a bit impatient.
Brief summary: I need a script/plugin for Firefox that selects the "load next 25 comments" link at the bottom of a web page, until that link is no longer on the page. As you click that link - you get more comments - eventually all of them on the same page. See this web page for an example (there are 1,852 comments): http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/05/16/gulf.oil.spill/index.html#comment-50598247
I have a regular problem with CNN.com. I post comments there. People sometimes reply to them. I check my profile, and see the number of replies, but I can't read them there. I have to follow the link to the original article. The fist set of comments are at the bottom, with a 'load next 25' link at the bottom. There are often hundreds of comments, and sometimes a few thousand. There is no practical way for me to read the replies to my comments. If there's under around 300 hundred, I'll just click that link enough times to see what the replies to my comments are. I need a script/plugin to select that 'load next 25' link until that link is no longer present on the page. Then I could just search for my userid and read the responses.
The Firefox extension "iMacros for Firefox" does this. It's very popular, with more than 30,000 downloads per week, and it's marked as "recommended" by the Firefox team. I thought I had searched the add-ons page for anything relevant, but I missed it. I'm surprised nobody here has heard of it. Then again, this page has only been viewed 9 times in the 2 days since I posted it, and 3 of those are mine, from different computers.
