Friday, June 30, 2006 by ZubaZ | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

Not to belabor site issues . . . but is it me or are the honorifics missing again?

Perhaps the problem is in actually using AOL. I've heard tell they're the spawn of the devil

I won't argue the fact that AOL sux - cos it does. but they're browser is nothing more than explorer. I can open explorer to get back here but it takes twice as long as Firefox. I want someone to answer my question that I've asked over and over again...Why can I only view any forum just once with Mozilla Firefox ..I have been using mozilla for ages with no problem..this site is hard enough to manuver withouthaving to be forced to use explorer. Certainly there must be a reason or a fix...if I can get here once...why cant I read the same thread again? All I get is a blank page. This has gone on since they changed forum. All I wanted was for someone to at least confirm or acknowledge the problem.

Have to agree..LoL...
I used AOL for years Fairyy...the program itself is a memory pig, the software is bloated with all sorts of "stuff" you dont want or need, and they shove more of it into your computer "forcibly" at times when they update...

 

Im well aware of this - i've watched aol eat up all the resources an really don't care about aol anymore to be honest. At one time they offered little perks that made a difference - now they are just another big business that cares very little about their customers. I couldnt even get mail from my best friend for 4 weeks cos aol blocked their server for unknown reasons. 4 weeks to fix a problem is rediculous - i had to use yahoo mail that is free.

I just tried it in Firefox...and you are right...the forums aren't working correctly using it.

Opera works, however. [as does IE]...

I'm only guessing but it may be something to do with site works stopping [or trying to stop] the spam/resurrection threads....

I'm sure it will be resolved.  In the meantime.....Opera is an entirely capable browser....I used it way back when....almost exclusively...for years...

Hmmm, just tried FF and got the same. Working fine in IE7 though, and that is much better than FF

i've been posting and reading with FF 1.5.0.4 with no real problems....the only thing that's not working for me is that when re-visitng a forum post, it takes me to the top of the page, rather than to the last post i'd read....also the little images with Fourm Home/ General etc etc don't always display correctly...but both these things were pointed out in earlier threads when the
Stardock developers were asking for feedback about the new forum....so maybe (?) they are working on them


I can only access it once...im using Firefox


i've definitely never had that problem..i can't see why it would be a FF problem, though i have no idea what's causing it

Same here... FF 1.5.0.4 works fine for me as far as opening and viewing threads here..
Issues = no quote ability, not even the brackets anymore, LoL..have to type them in manually...and like LG pointed out, FF opens at the begining of the thread...

Really just very minor irritations, nothing like what Fairyy is experiencing...

Jafo : I just tried it in Firefox...and you are right...the forums aren't working correctly using it.

Thanks to all that replied - at least I know that some are having the same problem - some are not. I just realised that I'm able to return to a thread that i've already read using Firefox - as long as I'm not logged in to WC . If I log in using FF..thats when the problems start. So I can read but to reply I have to open explorer.

bizarre, because quotes are working fine for me, even allowing me to use the quote function correctly in firefox, i.e. just highlight the text, press the quote button and it appears 'quoted' in the 'Add You Comment' area..

gremlins in the system?

Im so jealous, LOL... I havent had the ability to "quote" with FF in probably close to a year..but the backets have always appeared, all I have had to do is use copy/paste in the past....ah well...guess im being negative now, I better get back to the "glass being half full again" LOL


Fairyy, just a thought..Do you have your FF preferences set to clear browser cache & cookies upon closing it?... if not it may be something you could try to see if it helps..
You can even specify what cookies to clear if you dont want to just clear them all each time...

Im going to update FF. I had originally uninstalled newer version and went back to older version because the " not quoting " thing was annoying me. Certain versions of FF had done this in the past - guess I can live with no quoting if it fixes the other problem.

Wow - not only did a fresh reinstall work - I still have the quote option - I'm a happy camper once again.

im editing a comment - except the comment is invisible....ok...everything is working pretty good right now. I guess the new format  isnt so bad after all..but the font option doesnt seem to work.  The font is  very tiny ( looks like size 6 ) but when I try to change it the post was blank.  Small bug for now. But gonna be a lot of typos with this teeny font

Anyone having the problem of not being able to make a new paragraph or empty line when hitting the "enter" key? I hit enter to get to a new line or leave a blank line between text and nothing. (Can't even hit enter to drop down to the next line to put my sig)....DD

Testing Font...

I can't get the font setting to stay...or the color.

My enter key seems to be working ok to make a new line though.
