frannyo 2 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The spoiler thing is fun, as is the full reply shortcut. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hmm, lets see. Nope. Switch to Full Reply Screen doesn't work in Netscape. Guess that's my fault for being a fossil and refusing to use IE Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted September 7, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted September 7, 2007 Of course, we would like it to be working in Netscape as well but unfortunately there's nothing we can do right now about that particular issue. Sorry about that. It does work in IE, Firefox & Opera. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Works just fine here. I use IE & Firefox. Nice updates. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 That's no complaint SJF, just a comment. I don't expect you to cater for my eccentricities. Nice work btw Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 if i click on it, nothing happens. i get a little msg on the bottom of my browser (IE) that says "error on page" i'm not moaning, just thought you'd like to know! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted September 7, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted September 7, 2007 spook - not sure why that would be happening... we've tested it on more than 15 machines with IE6 and IE7 without getting that error. Is it happening on every page you try this on? Can you usually get to the main Reply page when you click on the Reply button at the bottom of each post? Is it the only error you get? Can you maybe turn off your browser, delete all cache and try again? The more info you give us, the more we can possibly help. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted September 7, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted September 7, 2007 soubs, you seem to be using netscape 8.1.3 - this issue might disappear if you use the latest version (9). You may not want to do that of course... Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yes, 8.1.3. Tried V9, but had some issues with it. Damned if I can remember what they were, but I'll try again. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
