[WilbyInebriated]

yes FF8. All seems well to me. I didnt get a free cookie though... I thought I read something about cookies and I never got mine.

thanks again. are you sure it didn't say free kookies?

It is a confirmed bug with FireFox 8 and SMF 2.01

I am still waiting for a final tested fix,
then I will apply it here.

See:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=454734.0
and:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=451766.0

Many thanks for your patience.

Until then you need to rename the downloaded attachments manually.
Regards, Stefan.

Repetitive strain injury 

I am myself using the
flashblock
plugin for firefox, so you don´t see any flashmovies or flashbanners all the time,
only if you click the "f" flashbutton...

This helps.

 Sorry it's no good it doesn't match the homepage for number of postings

You can also use:

http://www.overunity.com/pages/update/

for the latest 500 postings.

That should help.

Thanks for the fix, when it happens.

Regarding the http://www.overunity.com/pages/update/

can you put a link to that on the page top where you have the Home  Community, etc. We had a link called Forum with the previous version.

The links above do not address the same issue, although I do know that when you try to save an image that is on the forum, the image name defaults to index.php, but that is not the problem we are talking about here.

It is specifically about not being able to add  more then one attachment and also not having the buttons validate on the post page.

Below is the W3C example for using br in XHTML2.

Notice no space between the <br and the />.
The usage is <br/>.

Now I regrabbed the source file and only removed the space and everything works fine. So no need to remove the forward slash, JUST THE SPACE.

So if possible, please remove the spaces in the program and everyone will be happy campers.
I did a find and replace and counted 144 changes. W3C saw 163 errors so that's not bad.

Thanks again.

@stephan
the closing slashes are not the problem. wattsup is fully confused...
they are COMPLETELY VALID... don't go messing with them. if you are going to mess with anything, clean up the code so there aren't MISSING />'s all over the place. and clean up the orphaned start and end tags.

wattsup... this site ISN'T XHTML2  !!!    dude.  look at the DOCTYPE!!  XHTML 1.0 TRANSITIONAL
are you that clueless? can't just cherry pick specs from whatever family type suits your argument... you have to use the specification FOR THE DECLARED DOCTYPE!! 
instead of not giving 2 furts about the xhtml,html,ml or whatever... LEARN WHAT THEY ARE FOR!!
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#compatGuidelines
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#a_example

perhaps you can explain why heairbear had ZERO problems with uploading and formatting using a vanilla FF8?

So if possible, please remove the spaces in the program and everyone will be happy campers.

everyone? really? you tested this hack on ALL browser agents?
how about instead of removing the /'s why don't you take the static page you downloaded and fix all the errors so it validates under the declared doctype ( XHTML 1.0 ) and see if that doesn't fix your errors? instead of taking a chainsaw to already ugly code and moving it further from ever possibly validating...

[hartiberlin]

Okay, the Firefox Download problem is solved now.

Now the attachments are stored correctly.
@Wattsup,
the multiple attachments also works okay, so it is only a problem at your end.
Maybe you don´t have the newest Java installed or any other FireFox Plugin or
Add-on is jamming it ?

Try to see here if you have the latest version of your addons:

Hope this helps.

Hello Stefan,

I noticed that when I type a post in 'bold' then it loses the double spacing I use between paragraphs.  Not while I'm typing but after I've posted it.

And that video of yours is set for 'on' every time we get to that home page.  If I hadn't been so irritated at this I would probably have watched it by now.  I sort of play a game at turning it off before he speaks  Mostly he wins.

Also - I can no longer see who of the users is on the same thread as I am.  That highlight function has gone.

I made a mistake with the quoting- not sure what I did  and saw a multiple 'nested' type references.  Which is nice if this is doable.  Haven't had a chance to test this out fully.

Thanks
Rosemary

Hello Harti,
I have lots of problems to access forum topics. In fact it is a fight to get to posting at all. Whenever I click on a forum link I get back to start page of overunity.com. Obviously many links only lead to the page "www.overunity.com" or "www.overunity.com/#new".

This applies to all kinds of links making it nearly impossible to write anything anymore:
- page number links
- "Go to last post"-link
- reply links
- subject links on the front page
- the links in the column "section" (where the subforum is listed like "mechanic", "gravity devices" etc." WORK, but selecting any topic afterwards results in switching back to the front page again

Just a while ago(20 min) and 2 days ago, when on the home page, if I selected a topic, it would just refresh the home page. No matter what I clicked, other than adds, as I didnt try them.

Hmm,
I have no problem right now...

Maybe it is a problem with the caching system used here.

I have to further look into it and will see, if I could disable the caching
and see how much slower then the forum will be...

Stay tuned.

Regards, Stefan.

I have probably the oldest FireFox here,
V2.0.0.20 For the 9x platform,
running on Win-ME embedded.

I have a few addons,
and few script entries,
but this site has never ran better.

I suspect they have addons blocking
scripting or redirects or something...

In fact, since you've updated,
the downoads now work fine too.

Hope this helps
