It has been discussed in the maintenance thread. Now you can link to websites it's like a paradise for scammers.

As Jake said, the link thing will be much easier for scammers.. there will always be one person who decides to click it and be like what?!?

But the move furni quicker thing, when I put something down the box doesn't pop up, you have to click the black area to get the furni back.

even better for scammers..

Calvin

even better for scammers..Habbo's new campaign.. support the scammers! Although, the c+p thing is quite useful, would be good if you could copy speech.

I wonder if they've done the copy and paste thing and allowed you to link to sites to try and make companies come and spam :/ it would improve their user stats at least lol

Matthew

People could always spam using tools that type for you, but I guess this does make it a lot easier to do so.

You could c+p right at the start of beta, was mayhem in trading rooms lol.

I think copy and paste is a good idea to re-introduce lol it was great when you could do it, but it's got downsides too. Likewise with the hotlinking, I love the idea of it and it'd be much easier to advertise legit (or even difficult but legit) urls but lots of scammers will abuse it. But I'm sure they know that.

I don't get why people are saying it's more dangerous for people clicking scam sites when the text becomes a link because there is clearly a warning box where you have to confirm that you want to proceed to the particular website. Anyway, overall some good updates :) I like how in the achievements it shows your progress.

Cosmic

I've just noticed on the timer thing for the 100% Habbo achievement it says something like 'current progress 0/1800(ish?!) days'. Hope that doesn't mean I have to wait another 5 years for it!

Looks like a good update nonetheless.

All that is messed up. I believe Kalk had his counter at 10 years (in hours though) and obviously that doesn't make any sense. Habbo Achievements weren't around that long.

They removed it and it came back. :) I've tried it before and it didn't work.

Because it's easier for people to navigate to it if they can't be bothered to type it in and don't understand scam sites lol

Personally, I think the linking this is good in terms of fansites getting people to go to their website.

I think the warning box should be removed for the official websites or something - I am sure habbo could make that happen.

I remember when I was new the main thing that stopped me from going on all these

FREECREDSWEBBUSINESS.PICZO.WEBS or whatever was the fact i couldnt remember the url

if i was new and saw all these sites spammed i'd be more inclined to visit them now i can just click them

they give a security notice for all websites even like bbc etc so you're just going to think it's the regular warning and not think anything of it

Mr-Trainor
06-09-2010, 04:06 PM
Maybe they could create a list of safe sites.

When I was new, most free domains got blocked with 'bobba' so you didn't actually know the full URL anyway. With this system, if you type in a specific thread URL of habboxforum, some of the numbers will show up as 'bobba' but then when you click on it, it takes you directly there.

So if you http://www.#PHONENUMBERHERE#.com , all the other person has to do is take that to their browser and get the phone number. D=

I quite like them
Love the multiple drop and ctrl pick up

Inseriousity.
06-09-2010, 04:09 PM
I think it's cool!

I really want the 'drop furni in other people's room' thing back though. If you're helping scammers, help hackers (and very nice competitions managers) too :(

There is none at Habbox so it doesn't really affect us.

But the ability to drop in others people rooms would be a great feature to have again. (L)

If u have bulk of a furni and you put one down in a room, you dont have to click to get the other it just is there for you, if u dont understand go to your room and find something of 2 u have, put one down and you'll see

Absolutely brilliant updates. I'm sure Habbox Staff will be happy with the links update. Makes things a lot easier for advertising HabboxForum :)

I didn't realise if you had multiple furniture, when you place 1 of them down, you can just keep putting them down, until there's none left.

I hate how that box comes up saying if you want to buy that furni from catalogue. Hardly anyone uses the catalogue to buy furni and it's just annoying having it there.

Best update since forever.
Furni pickup is great and it's fast to put down now too :D:D:D

Battleball has made me happy too... habbo is getting better!!

Who else got a discount of 10c for HC? Is 5c actually worth it? I haven't been HC for about 7 years now! :P

I hate the "hold down ctrl and click to pick up" thing, mostly because I love designing rooms/mazes, and that was the easiest way to move stuff in a room.

Btw, In "Settings" On the client, you can access your character settings whilst on the client.

Not sure if this was new or with the update or whatever

Older update, it came out around the same time as no shirt options did I think. Not entirely sure.
