Oh i didnot know they have New chickens ... whats new about them ??..

Euh mmm okay the chicken thing is KFC ... :woot:

Never mind ...back to the drawing table...

Chris

I'll pass on the kfc, but just to mention that, prior to the upgrade, the html editor worked
in 2 of my 4 browsers.  now it only works in 1 of my 4 browsers.  I reckon I must be
grateful that it hasn't shut me out compleatly yet :lol:

Even if I've done what is written, it still doesn't work with firefox, so I'm with Internet Explorer and I have other technical problems

If you are still having problems, please try this:

"OK, the programmers have suggested that if you are still having problems, try clearing your cache and immediately closing Firefox, rebooting your machine, and try again with Firefox. [or whatever other browser you're using]

They've also advised that the new editor version should work with Opera 9.5 and above, and Safari 3.x and up, so if you're able to try one of those instead we could see if that works for you?"

PS:I dont get any notification via mail when you reply!!!

Can you do us a screenshot of the results in Firefox, lior?

PS:It's impossible to PM ....:( from forefox and from InternetExplorer

Thank you for you help karen

The new editor fails to work when I use Netscape 7.2. 

... and, yes I did clear the browser cache. 

This change will be very inconvenient if not corrected. 

BTW, which browsers were tested before releasing the new editor to the wild?

Hi Martin,

From my previous post:
"They've also advised that the new editor version should work with Opera 9.5 and above, and Safari 3.x and up."

Netscape has never been supported.

Lior,

Which version of Firefox are you using please?

Lior,
Which version of Firefox are you using please?

I use Firefox        2.0.0.11 that's to say the latest version.

Just testing to see if I can actually post. :-/

edit: Apparently I can now.

just to confirm, html editor icons don't display in firefox 2.x, and often
the current page never finishes loading.
if yer coders are saying "reboot the machine", that's just sad IMVHO.
it implies they have no experience with OS X, for example, which is
somewhere between 4 and 7% or yer user base.

It's working fine for me in Firefox (2.0.0.11) now.  After clearing the cache, two reboots, and a lot of yelling, that is.  But I'm running XP.

I see that karen1573 is aware that the,

[programmers] advised that the new editor version should work with
Opera 9.5 and above, and Safari 3.x and up

Does this mean that they didn't test with M$ Internet Exploiter? 

I have 2 other questions for the programmers ...

1. which version of Java is required for the new editor? 

2. what problems are solved by the new editor?

Martin

p.s. For the time being, I am forced to post my replies using M$ Internet Exploiter. 

Quote - 1. which version of Java is required for the new editor?

The editor is written in Javascript, which is built-in to browsers.

Quote - 2. what problems are solved by the new editor?

Here's a link to the changelog -> http://www.fckeditor.net/whatsnew
As 2.5.1 was released in December, it doesn't seem unreasonable that that's the version Renderosity just upgraded to.

Martin, the Opera and Safari compatibility is in addition to IE and FF.

What is your preferred browser?

I see that karen1573 wanted to know,

What is your preferred browser?

As I said earlier in this message thread, Netscape 7.2. 

I use and continue to use that browser becaus of my 1000's of
bookmarks and my 10 years of eMail archives. 

Having to open a M$ Internet Exploiter instance in order to reply to each
message in a thread, or to a site mail is ... annoying ... to say the least. 

In addition, since M$ Internet Exploiter handles browser font size differently
than Netscape, ... and uses a smaller default font size than I would like,
message text is much more difficult for me to read.

p.s. Please encourage the programmers to test this sort of change before
simply releasing the change to the wild.  In addition, they could offer a web
page for the user community to test and comment on such a proposed
change for a time period of ... say, one week ... then after the comment
period, deploy the change. 

That way, the members will feel involved ... and appreciated. 

Hi Martin,

Netscape isn't supported by the FCK editor.

FYI, this editor is not developed in-house. It's open source.

Does Netscape not have a function where you can export your bookmarks to HTML and your mail to archive?

Netscape ... a function where you can export your bookmarks to HTML
and your mail to archive?

That would be a Data Base Conversion ... I would tread very carefully if I
ever go in that direction. 

The image should give you an Idea how I would feel ... 

The caption reads,
"About that data Base Conversion, sir. 
The department doesn't seem to share our enthusiasm.".

Martin

In both IE and Firefox, if you go to View->Text Size  you can change the default font size.

Unfortunately, I think you're going to find fewer and fewer things supporting Netscape.  Not too many people are still using it.

Yes, stats gathered by TheCounter.com indicate that Netscape is now used by only about 0.06% of users.

I took note that karen1573 feels that,

Netscape isn't supported by the FCK editor.

I don't know where you heard that ... I urge you to visit the FCK Editor home page.

On the right side of that page, you will see a section headed, "Compatibility"

... when you roll your cursor over the Netscape icon, you will learn that Netscape 7.1
(and subsequent releases) are supported.  ... When you roll your cursor over the OS
choices on the lower row of icons, you will learn that Netscape is supported in all
3 listed OS.

This  FCK editor still doesn't work with Firefox  so I'll have to use InternetExplorer to post in this forum or to PM a member from our community

I'm sorry Lior, I don't have any other way to help you. You're the only member still having trouble in Firefox 2.

....thats not exactly accurate you know... *says he posting from wifes machine

• still no luck posting from my machine on Firefox.. no spell check, and posting gives 'no body in message'

oh. and suggesting I install opera or safari is... cute. how about 'No. fix the problem? thats what your paid for?' as a reply to the programmers? (yes. I am annoyed.)

Hi Khai,

I was hoping your problem had been resolved since you hadn't replied to my previous post :sad:

Can you confirm what version of FF you're on?

I've already confirmed what version I'm on! *you answered me in this thread! -
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2728753

*as to not answering... HOW? unless my Wife is not using her machine I cannot post, only read!

sorry if I sound annoyed, but c'mon.... *leaves before he gets really annoyed.

Sorry Khai. I'm not on top form this week. I've alerted the programmers that you and Lior are still having problems.

**Hello
I am using too Netscape 7.2 for 10 years, and  works excellent for me.
****CAN't use your new HTML editor but I am not ready
to start now IE
**I Think you can go back and use what did work fine for everybody
Thank You
HannaK

Hi Hanna,

Sorry, we won't be doing that. Netscape is now used by less than 0.06% of users. If you don't like IE (and who can blame you?) I'd suggest Opera, Firefox, or Safari instead.

Indoda,

Do you have a javascript enabled in the options?

Hi Karen Yes, everything is on that I can see - not blocking any of the Renderosity site - empty cache - reboot etc no difference - no problem though - I'll use the other browser ;)

Thank you Karen for your reply - I have done that, and still find Netscape the smarthest:
for example: I learn from the internet - among other things: tutorials on graphics
Netscape is the ONLY ONE that allows c+paste with images and text together  - it
helps me a lot  to learn!
Hanna

Hi Hanna,

Firefox allows copy/paste of images and text, and it also retains embedded links.

Example - copied/pasted directly from my gallery page:

Thanks Karen, I've tried it for a while but something did not work for me - so I stick with
Netscape and vist IE for replay.
Thanks again
Hanna

finally fixed the problem myself after hearing NOTHING from this site about it at all. nice. mind if I be annoyed some more?

so. the spelling still does not work (yes it's marked but you cannot access the spelling menu for firefox - go ahead. try it. it's on the RIGHT click which still only shows Cut/Copy/Paste)

Hey Khai,

Feel free to carry on being annoyed ;o)

I have not been able to access the right-click spell-check for several versions, and I believe this is a known issue.

Edited to clarify:
There have been several versions of the FCK editor in which I've experienced the right-click spell-check not working, and this is one of them. There have also been several in which it has worked for me.

making a joke about it does NOT help at all.
I've not been able to post since the 28th of Jan, until I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I thought you were going to talk to the programmers?

sorry if you thought I was joking, but I am more than annoyed now and wondering what the professional level of the site is.

Khai,

I'm sorry if you thought I was making light.

I resent the issue to the programmers several times, but they continued to state that the problem was most likely with your set-up. Seeing as you have now uninstalled and reinstalled FF and got it working, that would seem to bear out what they said?

but it does not tell us what the problem is does it?

and I only did that since I got NO feedback from the site at all. not ONCE did I hear from you, (other than the post saying 'sorry I thought you fixed it'), or the 'programming team' asking for more information.

I've been asking ppl to post replys to questions asked for gods sake!

No, I'm sorry Khai, it doesn't tell us what the problem was, which I know is not particularly helpful.

(Unfortunately it's been my experience that this is often the case with computer problems...)

I am sorry that I have not got back to you. I have been dealing with a bereavement and haven't actually been here very much myself. (Not an excuse, just an FYI.)

I'm very glad to see you back, although I wish we knew what had caused/solved the problem :-

Good evening Karen,

In my My Website I use FCK2.5.1, my FCK Editor works perfectly so I think you had a configuration problem ===>now I'm with firefox and I have no more problem with your html editor

You are a very nice person

Have a nice evening,
Lior

Hello Karen
I am happy to inform the forum that I upgraded to Netscape9 and everything is working fine

FCKing editor is right. After weeks of being virtually banned from rosity due to being unable to post at all, I've been FORCED to change browsers. That isn't right. I prefer to use Mozilla 6. It worked for me. Any site as public and as important as this one is should support ALL browsers.
Funny that the CGtalk editor NEVER gave me any posting problems and it's pretty much identical to this one. Wonder how they manage to do it when no one here seems to be able to.
