Problems with Firefox?

Joe Hesketh · November 27th, 2005, 09:32 PM

Dear Techadmin

I seem to be having issues using the site with Mozilla Firefox (v1.0.6).

Whenever I start a new post or reply (basically anything that brings up the box for typing your message in), it more often than not jumps or appears to reload shortly after loading the first time, following which there is no access to teh Message box (ie you can't click in it and bring up the flashing curser).

Don't know whether it's just me or any other Firefox users are having teh same problems. Also, I can't access the spellcheck thing (as youu csn probablu tekll...)

I've found that very often I click a link or move to next page and it's completely blank, sometimes a F5 will refresh it and bring it back but not always, I figured it may be a problem with Firefox so fired up IE but have the same problem.

BTW, I surf like a mad surfing thing all night most nights and this is the ONLY site where I have this issue which would make me say...

"Clare!! sort this sh*t out!!" :D

OK - have 1.0.7 now. Seems to work a bit better now, but still managed to re-create the above-mentioned problem a few times. Maybe one to just keep an eye on.

Though seem to remember that at work (on IE) there was an "ABC" button for a spell check thing here, but not on Firefox.

There is no built in spell checker on the site.

In IE you get this...

The ABC button being an add-on called ieSpell

Well I guess that answers it then - a free spell checker for Internet Explorer according to the home page.

Must have been realisied with latest verion of code which I installed on this site.
