I see... a Jaiku JS badge. I do prefer the flash badges. :P
-
JS badge? javascript? Would love to learn more. I like your photographs... especially the ones taken in holland.

Wollongong? recently? i do not beachcomb that much. I prefer bushwalking these days. :)

Thanks for the replies everybody. How are you all? I live in Wollongong NSW Australia. My jaiku badge is here http://www.larkin.net.au/
It was probably myself that mentioned it earlier a few weeks back. I had noticed a number of additional browser problems lately so I reformatted my mac after attempts to solve the issues failed and so I did a clean reinstall. Performed the software updates step by step.
All was fine up until that Security Update. The badge no longer worked. The badge still showed updates, had scroll and mouseover functions but none of the embedded links work. How many macs have the same problem I wonder? I think the badge is a very useful tool. It is like a "What's new?" for all my feeds.
Cheers, John

The security update works against the main function of the Jaiku badge which is to provide links to the relevant feed.
-
The update fixes security flaws that allows urls embedded in Quicklook, video files, flash and shockwave to be activated giving access to private date on the affected mac. Details here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307179 I can reproduce the problem. Eliminate that update and the badge is okay. Reinstall the update the badge no longer functions.

Thank you. I wonder, does Jaiku need to rectify the anomaly or a subsequent update from Apple? John.

Hi there, Flickr badges and Last.fm badges still work. Simply the Jaiku badge does not function. I have tried Flock, Safari, and Firefox. I checked out Firefox on my wife's PC laptop. She is running Vista. The Jaiku badge works fine. I like to use my Jaiku badge as a what's new but now it is simply a sign post that does not point anywhere at all. Cheers, John.

Cheers, thanks for the response. Are my observations accurate? I have emailed some other friends with Jaikus however they must still be asleep in their part of the world. Regards, John

This is an interesting dilemma. The badge works fine on Firefox in Vista.
