Re: Android 9 TV Box: acting on remote control
Reading up, it seems like a tactic of spammers to target dormant forum accounts. One suggestion I saw would be to force accounts inactive for 6 or 12 months to re-authenticate via email before accepting the post.

Re: Android 9 TV Box: acting on remote control
It's clear that this latest is not a valid post. I think there has been a spate of spam recently from forum accounts that were registered a few years ago and have been dormant for some time. I don't know whether there's been some hacker-compromised accounts or something but there does seem to be a t...

Re: Android 9 TV Box: acting on remote control
Not even a mention of using accelerometer to catch TV remote messages. Perhaps*this time* it really is genuine

Re: CSV UTF-8
I don't know anything about how using a Mac would affect this, but have in the past used text files with BOM generated from LC on Windows to be read by TV station tricaster in RTL languages. I wonder whether the order of the steps of your file creation might be part of the issue? Just maybe put numt...

Re: Using field with "answer" dialog open
#2 is the most difficult Spam to deal with, so Klaus's sixth sense is invaluable in this respect. The risk is that rarely, a valid post by new user whose first language is not English may be deleted as spam. Not great on the very rare occasions this may happen. I much prefer Richard's approach of a...

Re: Can recieve iOS push notifications, but how to send?
I read through the lesson, its comments and the bug reports that were referenced. It seems like it would be possible to rewrite the process in LC to use tsNet to handle the curl commands, but it's dependant on an update. I am not sure whether or when that's been done. Sending a push notification is ...

Re: Missing Fonts
There are quite a few font related issues in the buglist, some are very old. This one is very relevant to the latest part of this thread https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21804 Ken Ray described the problem in 2019, and it remains "confirmed". A workaround was suggested by Juan in 2021, e...

Re: Reading and writing text to / from a file
The point is also that there needs to be a pertinent assessment of the data and its handling. If there are reasons why a database is not being used then those reasins can be respected. However, I really don't understand why only one single massive textfile that is holding millions of records for his...

Re: Missing Fonts
Windows inheritance is still grimbulled. Set the stack textfont to "whatevervalidfontyoulike" Add a new field and put text into it. See that it inherits the font and style/size from the stack property. In the PI for the field the font details are shown in italics, indicating the effective font is in...

Re: Missing Fonts
I had a very limited play with setup of a few fields and fonts to check inheritance. There's definitely something screwy going on, inheritance of the effective textfont and fontsize are not working properly on Windows, at least as far as I understand. I am not in a position to raise a bug report/rec...

Re: Missing Fonts
I've tried using "Start using font file...". This brings the name into the Livecode Font menus, but has no effect on changing the font. So, you are successfully getting "Start using font file ..." to make the font available to LiveCode. That's a good (and needed) start. When you say that has no eff...
