Viewing Apolyton with Mozilla Firefox...

Carolus Rex · July 4, 2005, 09:07

I have some problems viewing all the details when I use Mozilla Firefox.

For example, I cannot see the buttons "Profile for Carolus Rex", "Send Carolus Rex a PM", "Add Carolus Rex to your buddy list" etc... They're just grey squares without any text or symbols whatsoever...

Is this a common problem and can I do something about it (without changing to another browser

)?

Never had that problem using .92.

Kuciwalker · July 4, 2005, 10:49

Using 1.0.4, no problems.

Carolus Rex · July 4, 2005, 11:12

Hm... Me too...

You use any customised settings for Apolyton (different colours etc)? I use the default...

Barinthus · July 4, 2005, 11:13

no problem here at all, like Kuci, I'm using 1.0.4

Carolus Rex · July 4, 2005, 11:30

I just tried here at work too... Same problem...

At home I run Windows 98 SE; here Windows XP... At home the browser version is 1.0.4; here I use 1.0...

Strange!

Sure it's not default light, x-light?

I have the same, but if I recall correctly, you had the option when installing Firefox to disable this sort of helptexts. I did so, so...

Ah.

Carolus Rex · July 4, 2005, 14:27

I can't even see the smileys in my posts above (are these considered "helptexts" too?)...

GeoModder,

I don't remember having discarded something or other when installing the browser. Is there a way to enable it in "options" somewhere?

Slight threadjack

Firefox has for the past few days giving me some annoying problems on 'Poly only. Whenever I load a page it starts with the normal "show what has been loaded", but as soon as the page has loaded it "reloads" but faster (takes only a blink of an eye). The only way to avoid this is by pressing ESC (or the stop sign). What annoys me about this is if you click on a link before this happens nothing happens. I can't tell how much time I've wasted waiting for the next page to open before noticing it's not loading it

I haven't changed any settings in Firefox or anything. Anyone else had this problem?

Kuciwalker · July 4, 2005, 17:28

No.

GeoModder · July 4, 2005, 17:29

@Carolus: I have no idea. I only seem to remember vinking an option not to allow 'help text' when setting up the browser.

Kaak · July 4, 2005, 18:12

i haven't had the problem either...

Zoid · July 4, 2005, 18:26

I haven´t experienced the problems described by either Carolus Rex or Adagio. I do have other Firefox problems though...

No - Firefox is not reloading the page, it's just redrawing the screen. That happens sometimes, maybe something to do with non-standard CSS/XHTML.

I can't recall seeing that...

Imran Siddiqui · July 5, 2005, 02:30

Hmm.. I haven't had any Firefox problems on Poly. On a few sites, I have minor problems, but perfert on Poly.

Zoid · July 5, 2005, 07:00

I had this problem which is still unresolved and forced me to change my style to Light...

Urban Ranger · July 5, 2005, 23:28

The interesting bug I see is, when I click on your link, I see all those little text ads promoting Plus on every post.

That does not happen when I hunt down the thread and click on it from the ToC.

Zoid · July 6, 2005, 06:13

That is strange indeed...

Carolus Rex · July 6, 2005, 07:01

Well, I've checked the "options" without any luck...

Guess I have to stick with the dark side (IE) when it comes to browsing 'Poly...

Carolus

Zoid · July 6, 2005, 07:59

Have you tried changing your style to Light? And if that doesn´t work there´s always Opera...

MarkG · July 6, 2005, 08:08

can you post a screen?

Urban Ranger · July 6, 2005, 23:33

What I get when clicking on Dr Zoidberg's link

MarkG · July 7, 2005, 02:02

you are logged in on "apolyton.net"
"www.apolyton.net" is a different domain for the browser and the apolyton.net cookie is not read. you are seeing the guest version of the page

Oh. Thanks.

If you tell me how to do it, yes...

But if you look at your own post above, you'll see that the "Find more posts by MarkG" - button is a symbol on grey background. I don't see the symbol (the magnifying glass + the person); only the grey background...

It's the same with all the other symbols; only the background is there... Also, no smilies are visible in any of the posts above...

Carolus

MarkG · July 7, 2005, 09:06

any change now?

what's your style?

Carolus Rex · July 7, 2005, 10:17

Just checked from the office. I can see the smilies in the posts now, but still not the symbols. I'll check from home later tonight.

If you by "style" mean the colour settings of Apolyton, then I use the default.
