Web Browsers

If your having a visible problem can you let me know exactly what browser you are using and its version and your operating system. The site only provides support for IE7 and Firefox 3.0.x running from Windows operating systems. I'll try to help with any other browser/OS issues, but NOT if they are hacked/non standard versions (for example AOL browser is a hacked/dirty/useless version of IE7)

[Philhod]

Your dead right there mate. That`s why I migrated to Safari. It`s an apple browser for windows and is really sharp, works well with Vista and no arguments with macafee. It`s free as well and has displayed non of the issues raised.

On the our old system it did keep saying I had to send things again before I could use the back button, resulting in double posts, but this has not reappeared with BB3.............. Hooray

Hiya dudes, has anyone else noticed that we no longer get notified by e-mail when a new post is made to a subject that we have posted on?
Have I got my settings wrong, or is there a problem with the board?

[Way2go]

I've noticed that the thread no longer auto scrolls to the most recent post when you click by the name of the unread post either. It's now necessary to pull the scoll bar on the right to the bottom manually since the rework.

[Vanny]

hmm i thought that was just me, bugger, they are both two things i can't fix here. The connection is horrifically slow.

[Vanny]

Righty then, firstly the 'notify user of topic reply' as a user option Mr Smiff, please have a look in the 'car and project chat' for an explanation.

Also, the autoscrol on selecting 'new unread' i THINK i've solved it, but have run out of new messages to jump to. Will have to wait on this one.

[Way2go]

As it seems to be the calm after the storm on here at the moment, I'll post this for your test Vanny!

[docchevron132]

Erm, I think not!
Not here anyway, although it could be the ZX81 is having an off day!

[Vanny]

tis working perfectly well for me now. But i have undone another change, ah fuck it.

[docchevron132]

Actually yes!
Tis working here now too!

I use Google Chrome and get no probs on here. It doesn't like the bxc much - I guess cos it's pbbbhhbppbbbbhhhb 2?

[Vanny]

Good to know bandit, i think Chrome is based on a generic platform, so that means there are a fair few browsers that should work perfectly well.

[Bx Bandit]

Cit PC Net doesn't like it (google chrome) though and there have been other sites that seem to get fucked up with it too! Good browser though, does what is says type thing!

[Vanny]

Righty, another round of updates has hit us, and no doubt has the usual long list of bugs! However i hope i have fixed more than i have created??!?

PS there are a few new smilies

[Philhod]

@ but why is it titled Doc

[Vanny]

hes lonely, and has a twisted imagination

[docchevron132]

Alas, it's been so long since I knocked one out I forget how to do it!

[Philhod]

Ask Smiffy ....He'll show you

[docchevron132]

Might have another possibly willing accomplice in that department now mate!
