Greasemonkey is not working for me, I've uninstalled it. Also the Quote Selected Text buttong is not working on this site, it tells me I don't have text selected.... I got greasemonkey from the Grease Monkey Blog[^] Gary Marc Clifton: "In other words, VB is like a bad parent. It can really screw up your childhood."
The version of GreaseMonkey that works best with FF1.5 is 0.6.x, but this uses a new technique to inject the JavaScript. Unfortunately this breaks a lot of existing scripts, as I found (I had written a few interesting ones, mainly for google and another forum, and had distributed them selectively). It's quite a pain getting them to work with the new system. Especially when you suffer the problem of the page never finishing loading (which I get on both systems, and google is by far one of the worst offenders). Ah well...

I'm having the same problems, except I don't use the CP toolbar and don't visit CNET. :( ColorView, ForecastFox, IEView, WebDeveloper and Mouse Gestures are all working fine - either by themselves or by installing updates. Does Greasemonkey work for you? I installed the update, and the quick reply link shows up, but when I click on it nothing happens. Nothing. :| Could you please give me the links for the XPI file and the script so I can double check? Cheers, Vikram.

The latest version of GreaseMonkey is 0.6.3. - Yes, it's a pre-release version, but it's the best version available for FF1.5 at this time - and i've had relatively few problems with it. - Yes, it breaks some older scripts. Early versions of GreaseMonkey allowed untrusted code to take advantage of some obscure JS features to gain priviledges it shouldn't have. The new versions of FireFox and GreaseMonkey do a much better job of granting priviledges to user scripts without passing them on to random web sites... but there are a few changes required. Trust me, it's worth it. Oh - as always, you can pull the latest version of the CPhog user script here. :)

Let's use that phrase ("The BackEnd") for rehashing recent topics that have fallen off the first forum view page. :) 1) Why does everyone feel the need to parrot other news sites here. I've already seen the two news stories that were recently posted on at least FOUR other sites. C'mon guys, how about something original? 2) I just upgraded to Firefox 1.5 with no apparent problems. 3) MSDN search has sucked since MS changed over to CHM files and requiring IE to use the CD's. And why the hell can't it find info on structures used by the Windows API? I get the "content cannot be found" error more often than not, and the newer the version of MSDN, the less likely I am to find an answer on the freakin DVD... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001
"1) Why does everyone feel the need to parrot other news sites here. I've already seen the two news stories that were recently posted on at least FOUR other sites. C'mon guys, how about something original?" I agree with this completely. About 90% of the news posts in the Lounge have already surfaced on sites like digg.com or Slashdot. I don't think CP would fare too well if ranked on http://diggvsdot.com[^]... Chris LaQuerre eBusiness Projects Leader There is no 'patch' for stupidity. - quote found on SQLSecurity.com

You're ranting but not using any foul language at all. Hell, you even put in a smile! :suss: Cheers, Vikram.

It wasn't a requirement of the rant. Nobody's really sayng anything absurd (but the day is young). ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

I'd quote you saying you upgraded to FF 1.5, but Quote Selected Text seems to have broken :( I upgraded this morning, 1/2 the pages I vist are not completing, the little spinner keeps going forever, try going to http://www.cnet.com/[^]. Adblock - seems to be failing, I'm now seeing broken image icons for the ads I'm blocking (and when I click on adblock in the status bar it only shows the 'favicon' to block e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/favicon.ico). Greasemonkey - you need to install a beta. CodeProjectToolbar - incompatible (not such a big deal as the smiley amd link stuff works on the site now). CNET is still spinning (after about 20 mins). Gary Marc Clifton: "In other words, VB is like a bad parent. It can really screw up your childhood."
I don't use any extentions, so I can't comment, but all of the pages I've visited have completed. It does block popups better, though. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

It would probably be better if the posts actually initiated discussion about the posted news item, sadly that rarely happens and 'the Lounge' does turn into a glorified link-blog. Even when a news item post does cause a discussion, they quickly disapper off the visible radar and so the discussion tends to falter. Not to mention the reluctance of many people to state their own point of view because of the fear of flaming or attracting low votes. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]
