Help wanted with OOF/IE8/Firefox3.5.2
« on: 20 August 2009, 13:37:07 »
I have some interesting/irritating variations between these two  browsers that I just live with. However yesterday I tried to help someone  http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1250691226 and asked them to post some photos. There are two photos on Firefox none on IE. On IE there aren't any "hidden" things that if you hover over you can double click and open. Equally there are no boxes with a red cross that you can right click and "open picture". Why might that be please?

Also when I log in on Firefox there are no quote, PM,alert moderator, view profile type buttons, or even a reply button hence why I only ever log on in IE8 despite its lack of photos.

Why might that be please?  I have both browsers bang up to date with fixes etc.

One other difference is no avatars on IE8 but they are there on Firefox!

I don't think it has any bearing but I am on dial up (yes there is one member of the forum on 44k remember that!)

Well good news and other news. The good news is that doing that brought the avatars back and bold, italic,underline etc features when replying.

Other news . Still no photos in IE8 !

"Show image download placeholders" is now the only unchecked box in multimedia>

Any more suggestions please?

Guess on a 44K dial up pics don't have time to load before timeout and placeholders appear  :(

Can't you get a broadband connection mate?

Now that I have "opened up" these extra things on my dial up it takes yonks longer to open an OOF page -= as I type still 19 items to download. Lets face it the Internet is designed for broadband. We have had Iberbanda WiFi out twice but no signal unless I erect a 20 metre high mast on the roof (at my expense) don't think so. The joy of living in the sticks in a third world country! Incidentally my dial up is via an analogue mobile sim card Erikkson 251M for rural users

Am browsing this company as I typehttp://www.citrusred.es/internet_satellite_9000.asp . Ah it is all good stuff.

is use firefox, with adblock plus, and have a blocklist so no avatar's are displayed.

If you sort you buttons out, you are welcome to a copy of the list, will speed your browsing up no end  :y
