on: September 26, 2004, 11:38:09 pm
I just tried switching to Firefox, and I'm trying to like it, but I have been having a few issues with this forum.

1.) I cannot post at will with it anymore. When I tried replying to anything at all it was always saying "no thread specified". While this has happened once or twice on IE, it occurs all the time with Firefox. When I tried making a new topic about this, it said "no forum specified". Even though it works just fine with IE (the one I am using to post this topic with).

2.) The forums often will not load properly. Here is an example of what I am talking about.



Did I not do something right?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Odd, I've never had that problem.  Been using FireFox for the last 2 months, it's never given me any problems other than an overly small quick-reply box in the Ferrium forum.

Is that a clean install using the 1.0pr version?  It's rather strange that the bookmarks bar is empty since it's not supposed to be that way upon a fresh install.

That's because I deleted those tabs. Yes, it is a fresh install of 1.0pr.



EDIT: And until this problem get's solved, I have no choice but to go back to using IE for HLP.

That actually could be a lot of things.  Essentially any external storage will give you that.  For that matter, anything external/removable that draws power from the computer and has internal memory will.

Actually the icons have me somewhat confused.  Most look to be part of Windows XP if they're part of windows at all, but the automatic updates icon is out of 2000 or earlier.

To perhaps shed some light on this, what kind of internet connection do you have?

I am running off my university internet connection. I think it is a T3.

Well that doesn't shed any light on the subject :)

I figured it might be a timing-out issue, but I guess not.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It kinda looks like it's either something to do with the CSS messing up or the tables are being 'squeezed'.

However, given that this is a clean install without any CSS/Table hacking extensions, I have absolutely no idea why that is happening!!

In the absence of any more enlightning info, my only suggestions currently involve nuking cookies and cache, and fiddling with the rather pathetic number of options in the preferences menu to see if you baodge it into working :)

OOH!! I know this!!! Pick me!!!


You timed out while connecting, so the html stopped mid-transfer, and so it leaves the formatting screwed up... If it doesn't fix when refreshing, make sure you have at least 2kbs available for browsing, you'll get them all the time, with any browser if it loads some html and then stops.. (or php in some cases)...

Never had this and I use Firefox on my main PC (which is in bits atm btw).

Anyway, I only see those kind of errors when the page half loads.

That doesn't look like the newest version of Firefox to me.
