top right hand side - it has some back slashes around 'newspad' that create problems for some browsers so people can't view it the actual link is http://rsvr.net/\newspad\default.asp it should be http://rsvr.net/newspad/default.asp ta |

I just downloaded Firefox to try it and it worked perfectly. Have you got the latest version ? Firefox are always updating it for bugs.

Do a Firefox reset. If there is a corruption it won't clear from an upgrade or re install as that only deletes the bits you can see. The registry entries etc would have remained. I tried firefox on a second pc and it worked on that fine too.

No idea what scrapbook is as never use Firefox but if it has deleted your bookmarks complain to them as it clearly states it doesn't. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems" rel="nofollow - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems I can't stand firefox personally, bug city, always has been. |

Totally wiped all history,bookmarks,saved passwords,scrapbook data, the lot I'd advise creating a system restore point and exporting ALL your relevant info to a remote drive before going near the rest option. And it still didn't fix the blo*dy 404.0 error either ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Have a look at the profiles section in the link below. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-lost-or-missing-bookmarks" rel="nofollow - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-lost-or-missing-bookmarks From what I can gather the reset creates a new profile then imports the data from the old one (which didn't happen). In theory your old profile should still be there to import from manually. (Believe it when it happens though) Firefox have had issues with style sheets on websites for longer than I have had pubic hair and never seem to get it right. Even though firefox works fine for the blog link for me, it still mis interprets the style sheet in particular the floating sidebar sections and displays them at the bottom of the page.  By version 65.1.1 you might be getting somewhere. |

What browser do you use spoonz? I've aways found FF great till now and much faster than others. IE continually has problems and chrome does nothing but browse and even then for the last month had issues dealing with ebay pages and I cannot for the life of me print from Chrome without cutting off some of the page despite adjusting every setting I can find. |

IE every time. It's the lead that everyone follows and the base that everyone aspires to be compatible with. Whilst it's not perfect MS do fix it via Windows update on a regular basis. Most problems with it are the add ons people get into it by downloading junk "Free apps" from the net. IE gets targeted most because it is the most widely used. The reason browsers differ in speeds is often down to how much background checking it is doing of the sites your visiting. Speed is not always a sign of a good browser, it depends what the writers priorities are. Throw ad blockers etc at Firefox and I doubt it is much different. FF will do 95% of what IE does but depends if the 5% it doesn't do is a problem for you. |

'life with an rsv' - 'http://rsvr.net/post.asp?id=34&t=life-with-an-rsv' is missing the 'newspad' bit of the url so doesn't work not wanting to start a my browser's better than yours pissing contest or anything but IE is on it's arse (thankfully - it's a total cnut to develop for) http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp" rel="nofollow - http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp http://gs.statcounter.com/" rel="nofollow - http://gs.statcounter.com/ http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php" rel="nofollow - http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php |

The link has deffo changed. If it is still showing that way it must be cached or something. It shows fine for me on my work pc. (running IE and chrome). I'll post the code up if you want to check it. The links in newspad are inserted by the software when a blog is created not manually. I could trawl through their code looking for the issue but it's best just reported as a bug to web wiz. I have already reported a blog truncation bug but if there is a link issue I will add that as well.
Browser stats can be found to match whatever you want them too really. Net applications has IE at 58% to Chrome at 46%, Statcounter the opposite. From a point of view of people walking through my door, IE most used, followed by Chrome and FF fringe use. Personally I hate FF, Chrome is ok but see less issues on the street from IE bugs wise. If you seriously are interested in tinkering talk to Griff. It needs new blood, and I have more than enough other things demanding my time. I'm not a web developer (does my box in to be honest) so if you are you may be able to take it to new places. |

....and it's fixed! Nice one. Must have been some server side cacheing or something?! |

I reported it to Web wiz but played with it whilst I waited and found the answer. It was Firefox picking up an old backup asp file on the server in a separate folder. I discovered it by realising that even if I deleted the live file FF still showed the existing menu although Chrome and IE didn't and errored. That had to mean it was reading it from somewhere else. I deleted the backup folder which contained the only other source of that file and FF then worked as it should. How or why FF defaulted to that file when IE and chrome didn't is beyond me. It cured the link issue in newspad too so that must have been doing something similar.

From the backup no,but I had previously synched from my Touchpad that runs Android & Firefox so I'm trying to backup from that atm. The main issue was the Scrapbook,this saves complete web pages for offline browsing and I hadn't backed that up recently. The reset did save all the data to the desktop (supposedly) but a lot of the stuff wouldn't go back into Firefox,still looking for a way round that one. It's not critical,just a pita. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Ian, I was going to ask if you had them synched to another device. You should just be able to re-synch the desktop to the laptop hopefully? |

One would have thought it would be easy but it's proving more difficult than it was last time I did it for some reason. If they were both Windows I'd have done a manual HTML backup,but as the pad is a hacked HP Touchpad dual booting into Web OS and Ice Cream Sandwich it complicates things. I can't get the Android side to output HTML anywhere I can drag & drop it,so having to upgrade the FF on that and set up a new synch. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |
