    I hate to be the one to point this out but this discussion board doesn't look or work well on Netscape Communicator 4.72. I only use Netscape to make sure my own web pages work fine on it too, but I figured I'd give CodeProject a trial run to see how it would look. It's not pretty: the First Prev Next and Last links are on top of each other aligned to the right. And their background color is green. X| The worse part is that they don't work! The "New Thread" button also has the green background and it too doesn't work. Honestly, I could care less about this site not working on Netscape but I thought Chris Maunder may, which is why I'm pointing it out. Regards, Alvaro

      Personally, I think all web sites should abandon NS 4.x and earlier support. The faster that abomination is gone, the better. Support NS6+ and IE4+

        One other thing that occurred to me (and believe me, I'm not criticising you Chris, I think the work you're doing here is great) is that there shouldn't be a 'New Thread' button inside the message body : the links in the message body should relate to the message, and the new post button should be left at the top of the boards. Hope that was at least a little helpful/constructive! :eek: Andrew.

          I love those last minute "I'll just tweak this - it'll only take 2 seconds" things that throws everything out of kilter :-O The problem was I had quotes around a colour value in the stylesheet. Why this disabled the links, turned them green and made them block elements instead of inline elements is totally beyond me. Ya gotta love NS4. Also killed the 'New Thread' link inside the messages. Send all complaints to Andrew Peace (just kidding :)) cheers, Chris Maunder

            ...and you should consider yourself lacky if it doesn't crash, because of the CSS. Netscape now has <9% of the market. (sure, sites about hacking and linux might report a higher number, based on their log files :-D ) The most strance is that most of the people, that use netscape, don't move up to Mozilla 5.0 (aka Netscape 6.0) :confused: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Memory leaks is the price we pay \0 01234567890123456789012345678901234

              I agree with you Erik, the faster they are gone the better. The inconsistencies of the two (NS and IE) are driving me crazy:mad: (NS support for tables is lousy by the way). I don't know how the newest NS6 works but I know that NS6 beta 2 didn't work well with tables, I wouldn't mind if NS dropped out of the race;)

                  Well I use both NS6 and IE for browsing and would recommend neither! I prefer Netscape by far but I could not recommend the upgrade to NS users just yet. NS6 hogs 100% cpu time the second you hit a secure server. Why I have no idea but I have to terminate it immediately. With IE5.5 I am fed up of being offered to debug other peoples scripts! How about an option to only offer debug for local scripts or on certain domains (i.e. mine!) As for IE6.... well since installing that on my win2k laptop, explorer.exe hangs upon every boot :( grrr... CodeProject forces me to use IE because I cannot live without the dynamic message board! :) -- The Obliterator

                        Go: Tools menu, Internet Options Then go to the Advanced tab and find in the list the checkbox labelled "Disable Script Debugging". This should stop most of your script debugging messages. Though sometimes IE5.5 slips one through.:) regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org
