Re: View New Posts Link - Tyson Rayles - 08-26-2012
Don there is no dropdown menu on IE6. Tell Path if they don't fix it soon a bunch of angry forum members will storm their headquarters (as soon as we figure out where that is
) and seize their servers until they fix it!

I have experimented with Chrome and both have drop-down bookmark menus. I can't defend MS and what they do with IE. If I need IE, Firefox has an extension for that.
Geeze, no drop-down bookmarks, how archaic....
Oh yeah Mike, angry letters and emails to whoever is in charge over a phpBB would be more appropriate. Somehow I think they'll be getting a bunch.

I was refering to "I use IE8 and use the pull down menu on the back button". On IE bookmarks is favorites and it has a drop down menu. Turns out the back button does to, I never thought to look for one there though, go figure.

That much - I DO know LOL!!!!!!

Looks like MS took a lesson or two from Mozilla. 8-) I rarely think about that menu on the back button though, but yeah, it is useful and I'm glad to see that is part of IE now. As far as drop-down menus for IE "favorites", I've got mine enabled and did an import from Firefox, yet nothing shows on my favorite bar, and all the favorites that imported seem to come from my desktop, not my bookmarks. :? I did the same on Chrome and all my bookmarks imported correctly. It doesn't matter though since it's really, really rare for me to use IE.

MS probably had that menu for a decade before Firefix was invented (which I also use by the way, however it moves much slower than MS. Could be due to the dial-up and may not be noticable on broadband.) but until Path screwed up their software I never needed it or had a reason to look for it.

I've been kind of pulling your strings, I really am not familiar with all the features of IE, all I know is that I have no favorites bar, even though it's enabled. For some reason I've always objected to using IE from the get-go because of what they did to corner the browser market. The fact that it was more subtable to attacks didn't help either.
But, again we're into the whims and fancy of the software companies. All Path did this weekend was update our board software to the latest release. We can thank the good folks at phpBB for making these changes. If Path could change it back the way it was or correct it, he would do so in a heartbeat. The last thing we want to do is to make it more difficult for everyone, and that includes Mikey and myself. I don't like that change anymore than anyone else.
But have heart, we are discussing our options, the easiest option would be if enough users complain to the software company, we will get a quick update to correct this bug and a few others. If not, we are, as I said, discussing our options....

Don please tell Path I'm sorry, I misunderstood you and thought that was where the problem was. However you can tell the folks at phpBB :hey:

No problem Mike, I looked over at Path and all I could see was:

Ahh, Fellow "Dial-up connector"
Path? I suspect it's more correctly "PhpBB" . Any change is a "pain", and takes some "getting used to". I visit a site that runs on phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group. Posting photos there is cumbersome, archaic, complex, and frustrating, and, I suspect, designed to encourage the use of photo hosting sites like photobucket,etc., rather than direct uploads.I would also not be surprised to find different incompatibilities with each browser, and browser release date/number.
Firefox was recommended some time back, when "browsing problems" were occurring. I've liked Firefox, ever since.
Being the "old f-olk" that I am, I don't use GPS. I prefer Multiple Application Positioning Systems, ( M A P S ) instead.
I've simply drawn a new "map" for navigating this board - - - - - which will have to be changed with the next "update"

For the record my reference to dial-up causing a speed problem was about Firefox versus MS and has nothing to do with this or any other forum. Firefox is veryyyyyyyy slow compared to MS, why I don't know. The problem isn't all that noticable on broadband.
