Oh god - I hope I don't have to write a follow-up to this. There's probably a bunch of hidden other firewalls I don't handle but most often I've found 403 and 503 to be the most common.

Hey, OP here - I'm open to advice about how best to handle this! I'm currently just opening a new window and writing the HTML to it. What's the safest way to handle this? Open it in an iframe?

I recently launched a product, called Thankbox. Product idea is really simple - you can set up a Thankbox (like an online card) for someone and share it within your group of friends to put messages, images, gifs and cash in it. You then sen

Same thing is happening with the UK furlough scheme. Government is paying 80% of people's salaries while they're off work but some employers are actively defrauding the scheme and telling those people to work...

>And welcome to the frontend Thanks! I can't believe it took me so long to embrace it haha. Yeah, so anyone that adds a message to a Thankbox can leave their email in order to get a link to edit their message before the box is sent

I've been unfortunate enough to have my 2 year old daugther hospitalised 4 times already and every time, in every ward, she slept very little. Constant sources of lights, machines that beep. I get they're serving a purpose but an
