Fake "Delete this Message Board"

[Ross]

Anyone else remember the fake "Delete this Message Board" thing Pat or Martyn put into General Talk over on PBS? Well this is the same, but better


<div align="center">
<input type="button" value="Delete Forum" onclick="deleteIt()" />
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function deleteIt()
{
if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this message board and all posts on it?")) {
document.body.style.display = 'none';
setTimeout('undeleteIt()',2500);
}
}
function undeleteIt()
{
document.body.style.display = 'block';
alert("...Or maybe not");
}
//-->
</script>


Goes: Whever you want it

me likey mikey...lol

;D I love that. I'll definately try it out for the "funny" people who like to visit my forum.

I have an idea, but can the button text be changed as well to say "Remove Ad"? Then the first line in blue text say "Are you sure you want to remove the ad?" Then the second blue text be changed to either "Virus Activated" or "Deleting forum", lol.

yeah you can change that stuff. BTW, that'd be funny as hell (excuse my language)!!!!

Glad you like it. Just let me know if there's any parts you want added/chaged such as extra confirmation boxes or alerts

[George®]

extra confirmation boxes including several with cancel...lol

<div align="center">
<input type="button" value="Remove Ad" onclick="deleteIt()" />
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function deleteIt()
{
if(confirm("Are you sure you want to remove ad?")) {
document.body.style.display = 'none';
setTimeout('undeleteIt()',2500);
}
}
function undeleteIt()
{
document.body.style.display = 'block';
alert("VIRUS ACTIVATED, DELETING FORUM");
}
//-->
</script>

Then after "VIRUS ACTIVATED, DELETING FORUM" add another timeout for a long enough period of time to really freak them out and have another pop up appear "...Or maybe not, lol!"

[George®]

alert("VIRUS ACTIVATED, DELETING HARD DRIVE");

i like it...lol

how would you add another timeout?

[Ross]

So something like:

<div align="center">
<input type="button" value="Remove Ad" onclick="deleteIt()" />
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function deleteIt()
{
if(confirm("Are you sure you want to remove the ad?")) {
document.body.style.display = 'none';
setTimeout('alert("VIRUS ACTIVATED, DELETING FORUM...");',1000);
setTimeout('undeleteIt()',5000);
}
}
function undeleteIt()
{
document.body.style.display = 'block';
alert("Or Maybe Not");
}
//-->
</script>

That would get them to confirm, remove the forum, give an alert, and then finally restore it

You expect we to remember the date? Pat (I'm pretty sure it was him) went a little mad. Probably stress from doing the finishing touches to v4. Anyway, he added a 'Delete this Message Board' link in the General Talk board header. As well as a big smiley face for some reason
