Well I posted this with the umlaut issure and no one except me was able to see it here is a screen shot, by the way I used Mozilla 1.1:

I've noticed a slowdown in the forums as well. It appears that the more people there are in chat — and I was one of them last night, when Mike from FIRAXIS was there — the slower the forums become, even with avatars disabled.

So let's keep the chat on IRC

thanks for the observation

Martin,

you can use the chat with netscape 4.7x in the "full screen mode"

http://apolyton.net/forums/shoutbox.php?

[MarkG]

changes

- apostrophes and quote marks show up fully
- full screen mode

http://apolyton.net/forums/shoutbox.php

- message area of lurkers is refreshed once per minute instead of 20 seconds

also, i'm not sure if it has been mentioned here, but these are the explanation of the colors in the users list
- red: admins and mods
- blue: regular users
- gery: inactive users(=lurkers )

Using Netscape 4.78 logged in not logged in and not cookied. I already found out that you have to use cookies to post. If I use the link on the forum page I get the same empty screen as yesterday.

hi ,

okay Mark , but you had that cool button next to the posting line , and it was great , thats why the Q is being asked , .....

this chat seems stable BTW

have a nice day

[MarkG]

1) you'll never be able to see the "normal mode" with netscape 4 cause it doesnt support iframes
2) you get the php errors cause you have disabled cookies. i'm sorry but it's not my top priority to make the chat work without cookies

[Panag]

hi ,

Mark , just in ;

in/HOME/VIRTUAL/SITE1/FST/VAR/WWW/HTML/FORUMS/SHOUTBOX.PHP on line 181

right after it went okay , .....

have a nice day

[MarkG]
