HendryTan Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 1. We have on many occasions received requests from closet readers to remove the word "Gay" from the Title Bar.2. Sometime ago, we have provided a script using the GreaseMonkey plugin, but it was NOT popular as it needed to install a "plugin".3. This time round, we have provided a much simpler solution.4. Click http://www.blowingwind.org/closet.html . This will set a "cookie" in YOUR browser to remember this option that you want to turn off the word "Gay" in the title bar. Every BW forum page it will show Blowing Wind Forum instead of Blowing Wind Gay Forum.5. To switch back, just click the same link again. It "switches" between on & off for your browser.6. Note that when you use another browser or "clear" cookies in your browser, the browser will "forget" and you have to repeat the above.7. Please report bugs if any.Enjoy !Hendry TanModerator cum Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HendryTan Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 1. Funny I just tried on my Firefox 3.06 browser (My default browser) and it works for me.2. Check that you spelled the URL correctly or just click on http://www.blowingwind.org/closet.html .A dialog box will appear to tell you that it is now "Blowing Wind Forum"3. Click on http://www.blowingwind.org/forum/index.php to continue surfing and check your URL.4. I suspect you spell the URL incorrectly that is why the URL was not found.

Guest non-tech Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 wouldn't it be easier to just remove the work "gay" itself. this reminds me of the cosmonauts vs. astronauts quest for a pen that can write upside down. the americans spent millions to create an innovative pressurized ink that will negate the force of gravity, while the russians brought a pencil.

HendryTan Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 wouldn't it be easier to just remove the work "gay" itself.a. Well said.b. We discussed this issue in 11/2007 at this blowing wind thread .I provide a snippet (edited) of what we previously wrote.2. Let me share the rationale for having the word "Gay" in the title bar of "Blowing Wind Gay Forum"3. Blowing Wind is a Gay website. We will not hide this fact. But we also do not want straight people or underage to accidentally wander into this place.4. Search engines like Google / Yahoo pick up BlowingWind articles. We have straight people searching on key words like "blowing wind" intending to find the Bob Dylan's song which this site took its name from. Other people search for food, IT etc which may accidentally click through to this site.By putting the title "Blowing Wind Gay Forum" which the search engine will display as title of the search result; all these people have been fore-warned before they click through the search result links provided by the search engine.It also allows those "kid protection" software monitoring for particular keywords to filter us off. 5. I understand that there are closet/discreet people who may be surfing this site in the office. They would prefer the site not to have the word "gay" in the title to be more discreet....
