looking into it further, it seems only to affect external tools, like chatboxes and guestbooks. since the only iframes I've got reference local pages it wouldn't affect me. still, that's rubbish. like, WHY do that?
it's probably for security reasons. a lot of neocities' less noticed traffic is obvious scams and malicious shit that doesn't work. pretty sure it's just so bad actors can't embed other pages with even worse shit onto here. i really don't care about this change, you should probably be local-hosting a lot of your stuff anyways.
yeah i had a feeling. looking at the backend github, it looks like kd's been having some trouble with stuff lately (mainly things breaking because dependencies keep having their versions changed and obsoleting the old ones)
tbh i feel like this is one of those "happens to the best of us" situations; not much you can do other than patch issues as they come, but i do hope drake the best with keeping this place functional
huh, if it was an unintentional issue i can try my iframes again … i get security reasons otherwise but… with external js already being blocked outside of using it in iframes, it’d feel shitty to lock that to supporter costs too
My main takeaway from this is that I wish there was a reliable communication channel because a lot of people freaked out but "oops looking into this" goes a long way

it was an internal issue and should either be fixed for most usecases now or at least soon https://feelingmachine.moe/miscfiles/kyleoniframebreakage.png
