I have had no, zero, none, nadda problems posting. I use both MSIE and Foxfire - tried Opera but didn't want the free and didn't want to pay either. Actually, one I really like is Lynx, a text-only browser.
Maybe it is, or isn't the browser, but I think it must be SOME setting on some computers vs others. Otherwise why would only SOME Fodor readers have problems? <b>Something</b> must be different between the pc s of those of use who do and don't have problems browsing. |
Hey, Hyacinth, not everyone can have access to the slimline "opera" in your exclusive postal code area ;)
Seriously, I (and many others) am at work so can't install any additional programs. |
While probably no longer true, I think some of the earlier versions of Opera were so small they could be run from a diskette and didn't even need to be "installed". I tried Opera awhile back, but also tried it back when I had a Win 3.1 PC. When you think about it, some of the new features that browser have today are exactly the same "features" that plague us; like pop-ups, animated graphics, flash & macromedia.
If I get time I think I'll see if I can find an old version of Opera & try it on a XP or 98se machine. If it will run from a floppy it should run from a usb "thumbdrive" too. I'm glad bu-kay (buk-it?) brought up that name. |
It seemed to be better there for a while. But I've had problems with every post this morning. Anyone else noticing the same?
|
Yup...they are back. I think it may have to do with this big ad at the bottom of the reply section. The problem started about the same time the ad began to appear.
|
I have to hit "post reply" several times, doesn't matter if I hit the one on top, or the one on the bottom.
The first 2-3 times it gives me a blank page, but once I get to this screen to post, seems no more problems. |
I'm having the same problem as Faina. But I'm also having a lot of trouble with the "preview my reply" function. I just replied to a post about Plymouth and had to hit preview 5 times before it finally came up. Very frustrating!
|
Yes, I'm having problems again too! Good thing I've learned to copy my post before I try to post it!!!!

Yeah, I try to remember to do that too, Utahtea. So frustrating when you lose a long post!
|
Oh, by the way, incase a techie person is reading these. The last couple of times when I tried to hit Preview or Post (when the post is off to the left) it opens a new window and there was no text in the box. You have to wait until you get a preview that is centered, re-enter your post before it will post.

My favorite issue is posting a reply then having it show up only in "post a reply" mode...somebody que the Twilight Zone music!
Gotta wonder how many summer interns will return next year! ;-) |
