Auxin Posted February 27, 2003 I think the latest address is http://www.ethnobotany-australia.net/mx/http://www.ethnobotany-australia.net/mx/ It works for me. For those who cant get in eccles posted this there: "Hi there, I have been hearing from some people that they are having some problems with some aspects of the site. If *anyone* is having ANY problems with ANY aspect of the site, please email me at [email protected] and let me know what's going wrong many thanks, eccles" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 28, 2003 ethnobotany australia is obviously microsoft friendly (eccles recommends internet explorer as the browser to use). The error messages seem to only occurr in netscape. So you will either need to compromise your browser loyalty, or complain to eccles The new site design is looking great in IE, but totally unreachable in netscape. As I don't remember my password and the 'send password' function doesn't work (in IE), the cookies don't work for me and keeping track of read threads manually is getting too tedious. Might give it a few days until the bugs are ironed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somnif Posted February 28, 2003 quote: So you will either need to compromise your browser loyalty, or complain to eccles... Or perhaps take a moment and upgrade (if you have the computing power) to a more recent and better browser (and by this I certainly don't mean Internet Explorer) The site works with Mozilla (www.mozilla.org), and when I get a chance I'll try it with Opera (www.opera.com). Both these browsers have Tabbed Browsing, and once you have experienced Tabbed Browsing there is no going back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted February 28, 2003 "The error messages seem to only occurr in netscape." I use internet explorer and while I can browse the site w/o problems posting causes problems. Maby when the bugs are worked out it'll run smooth. People are still using netscape? I thought people only use cumbersome and obsolete programs when there are real advantages (like my fixation with DOS). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nabraxas Posted February 28, 2003 thanks for the new address auxin- i seem to be able to get on now. i was getting the same critical error message, off & on, using explorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 1, 2003 the netscape problem seems to be fixed. somnif, doesn't netscape6 use the Mozilla core? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somnif Posted March 1, 2003 quote: somnif, doesn't netscape6 use the Mozilla core? Yep. Netscape 6.2.3 is based on Mozilla 0.9.4 which is ancient. Any version 6.x earlier than this should be thown out right away as they are notoriously buggy. Actually, throw out any version 6.x as there is absolutely no reason to continue to run them. I just see that Netscape 7.02 has been released which is based on Mozilla 1.0.2. This is sort of the problem for Netscape, you see Mozilla is currently at version 1.2.1 with the latest beta at version 1.3 (It has got some funky new features such as spam filterer on the email side etc.) The other negative about using Netscape over Mozilla was that it was packaged with AOL branding (AOL Instant Messenger (aka AIM) (hmmm, an acronym within an acronym, how very postmodern) ) However in January of this year they released a version of Netscape which is AOL free. I run Mozilla on a 500 mhz Pentium without any performance complaints. I have no noticeable problems with bugs or random crashes. The major feature which draws me towards it is Tabbed Browsing; I have the browser configured so that if I click on a link while pressing the Control key it will open a new tab and load that page in the background while I continue to read whatever I was reading. The downloadable themes are also nice as well as being able to stop pop-up advertisements. Here is a Windows download (11 meg) for Mozilla 1.2.1 which is the current stable release: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2.1/mozilla-win32-1.2.1-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe://http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...-install er.exe For some history behind Netscape and Mozilla have a look at: http://www.hmetzger.de/netscape/Netscape_History.html [ 01.
