Why can you see web-pages in the preview box
I think its intended for viewing website preview purposes. Only works on scratch and subdomain links.

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Firefox 114.0, No Flash version detected
CR.
Literally created a comment on my profile with this as a test lol.
You can even play projects(edit: some take ages to load and can crash the preview, such as projects made in 2.2), edit them, edit titles, etc. List goes on
Comment is here btw

such as projects made in 2.2I love Scratch 2.2! That's my favourite version so far!

It's not really doing any harm, as it only allows you to access Scratch pages and nothing else.

Oh so its probably shipped with Djanggo software.(#22)I'm pretty sure it's not intentional.

Quite likely but it is impressive for something not intentional. (I think the ST would of removed anything they did not want in the forum's code by now)Oh so its probably shipped with Djanggo software.(#22)I'm pretty sure it's not intentional.

(#29)The reason this bug happens is because the forum preview is an iframe (basically an embedded web page in another web page). By default, links in iframes change the that frame's URL. They can be set to change the outer page, but it looks like the ST (or the DjangoBB devs) forgot about that, or just didn't do that for whatever reason.

Just curious, how did you find that out? (I used inspect element to confirm that it's an iFrame.)(#29)The reason this bug happens is because the forum preview is an iframe (basically an embedded web page in another web page).

Honestly, I find it useful though because I can easily check if urls are correct or not by clicking on it though.(#29)The reason this bug happens is because the forum preview is an iframe (basically an embedded web page in another web page).

This can only go up to 9 layers I believe, after that the 10th layer won't load. Unless I'm being mistaken by one of my topics again.
