Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 10 6:07 am)
Sorry guys ... seems that my own problem had to do with my ISP. I started checking various other websites, and it was hit or miss with them as well ... could get to some and not others. Technician gave me a static DNS to use until they correct the problems and I can get there fine now, just seems to be some trouble in my area. thanks! Rhi
"NS Communicator 4.7x is best for Mac..if you can still find it. The NS web links for it are always broken these days." ok have you tried the ftp???...my ftp prog shipped with a link built in to this and some other ftp's of note...netscape was still a "major player" at that time...but the link still works,the site is still there. ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/ plug that into your browser for all the netscape software you can deal with,almost all versions are there,the 4.x are in the "communicator" folder.
the ftp is up and running,might be a firewall or browser issue...it is an ftp,so you need to login,but if perhaps you've set your browser to not automatically use an anonymous logon...most default to this,but if it's been changed you'll likely get errors or at least not very far :) i downloaded 4.8 from there not so long ago,and checking tonight it is all still there,all NS versions from 3.03 to 7 in all languages and all versions,pc,mac and even unix where applicable...both the little auto-downloader type of installers[yuck]and the full installation files too.it's one stop shopping for all things Netscape.
i'm on a pc myself,but i started out with netscape and stayed with it till the 4.x series,then i switched to IE for the same reasons you just stated,compatibility,i got tired of pages loading funny or not at all...this will all just get worse as web development marches on and leaves these browsers behind...the truth is NS 3.x is the fastest browser going,noticeably faster than ANY version of IE in fact....but it's old and has way more problems with stuff on the web than even NS 4.x does now...things don't always get better do they?anyway the point is it ain't a mac problem its an obsolete netscape software problem.i still have NS 4.8 loaded on my sys but only to use the mail client these days...there is mozilla,it's the NS 4.x source code gone open source and supposedly updated...i don't know if it's still in public beta,or if there's a mac version tho
