all i am saying is.. when browsing snarkpit, use what works..

sure, use whats best ... eventually.

i am sure lep will get the kinks worked out someday, but in the interim, use IE.

resources can be gained with a reboot afterward

i keep my config completely empty.. nothin is on when i boot-up.

i can recommend, you might consider upgrading to an operating system that optimizes them better if something as simple as IE borks your old pc.

gwil, you have broadband now.. contact me msn in a sec.

I'm not going to try and convince you to change browser, but you should give it a try just for the sake of it.

Can anyone else select the 'font', 'size' or 'font colour' options with their mouse? The menu drops down but disappears when I move the mouse down. Can easily be bypassed by using the downarrow button.

Orph, if everyone took your advice and used what works in the interim, who would be reporting the bugs for Lep to fix?

Yes, IE works. This is a good reason to use it.

Mozilla also works almost all the time. To make up for websites sometimes not being coded properly and so sometimes not displaying correctly in mozilla, there are advantages such as tabbed browsing. If you like tabbed browsing, and don't mind the odd small bug on 0.5% of pages you visit, mozilla is ideal. If you don't care about tabbed browsing (and other benifits like faster page load times), then sure, keep using IE, nobody is stopping you!

So please, when us mozilla users are reporting a bug that is the fault of the website, not the browser, don't keep coming up with the same old 'why not use IE' question? Thanks

Ah! That's the whole point though!! They are not browser issues, they are site issues that do not affect IE. If IE was made to follow the standard set out by the W3C, you would be having the exact same bugs we have.

Let's say a big oil company and a couple of big car companies got together and start using a new fuel. They don't tell anybody else how to use or make the new fuel. The new fuel isn't actually any better - the cars that use it even give lower miles per gallon around town, but it is made cheaper so that people start to use it and so that these three companies can get a bigger share of the market. A couple of years later, you drive up to a gas station in a bus to be delivered, and find that only the new fuel is available, and your bus can't take it. Is this your fault? Would you support another oil company that was trying to make fuel that worked with your bus, and the new type of vehicle?

OK, let me rephrase this since you obviously opted to ignore my point..

snarkpit has other issues.

there, thats about it

believe me, i am on your side, but i currently see no real reason to cause myself a known grief.. you can have them if you like for me

I have no problems using Firefox 0.8 on this site. If you do have problems, don't use the WYSIWYG editor, or upgrade your browser!

In the map area when you select a page number from the drop down list it only goes to the page if you click on the number making the [go] button redundant.

The go button is there in case people are using crap browsers which won't automatically redirect.

I assumed as much but it doesn't do anything if I highlight the page and then press the [go] button. Maybe it's another firefox thing.

Lep, there is no such thing. If you would just use the code that I gave you for the auto form submit, it will work on everything.

Ok, sorry if this had been brought up before too, but I haven't exactly been around much and haven't followed everything in this monster of a thread-

But now that you have that little tag that says "New posts since your last visit:" in the forums, would it be possible to add a little "jump to new posts" link for each thread? It's a bit of a stretch and not really necessary, but I think it may be a little bit convenient when you leave and come back to a thread with 2 or more new pages in it. I hate wading through posts to find where I left off.

I don't think it would be too hard to just code in an anchor tag somewhere on that line, then just put a link to the page in the thread that the new post is on and just have it point to that anchor. [addsig]

is there a way to see on a user level, how many times a tut has been viewed?

tis a minor thing for sure, but one i have been curious about for some time.. it would be nice to see the tuts aligned much the same way as the member list.. from most viewed, to least.. this may not prioritize them accurately, but it would prolly bring the best to the top..
