IE6? somebody still using their windows xp

 

We have a little over 1000 machines on our network and probably more than half are still running XP, even though we have the license to upgrade all of them to Win7. I've developed the internal employee portal and just ignore the old browsers. The users won't get upgraded until they start complaining en masse.

 

Just to add to mathlars post, I just got the wp8/Lumia black update and it has completely ruined the forum formatting. I'll use tapatalk, but really liked using the raw forum in the browser. Happy to help with troubleshooting if I can...

 

Although I'm somewhat disabled using computers (just stupid) I've learned to use Google Chrome to ost scans and not Firefox. I have not idea if this is of benefit to anyone?

 

Hi all,

I really used to like Safari on my desk top computer but ever since I started using Chrome I haven't looked at any other browser it helps that I also use Chrome on my smartphone and all my bookmarks are kept in sync. Even managed to swap my mother over to Chrome just the other week as IE refused to open certain e-cards she was receiving and even she has remarked how much faster and smoother the new browser is.

Install a packet sniffer and watch the traffic your web browser generates that has nothing to do with what you're looking at or your browsing experience before making this decision. Follow the golden rule of the internet: do you pay for whatever product, information, or service you are using? If not, you are the product and someone has figured out a way to monetize you.

There are few to no exceptions. For example, you don't necessarily make a lot of money for each eyeball you forward to ebay, but there is money in it, and with enough of those eyeballs eventually making purchases, it can be a worthwhile endeavor.

 

I'm on Safari. Used to be on IE until I went to a Mac. Got used to Safari now, so won't change unless I have to. Got sick of Microsoft changing things. Unfortunately in some things I like consistency, and browsers and software in general is one of them.

 

Looks like no browser except Firefox has proper colour management, so for everything on the web that has colour images, I have to use Firefox. http://cameratico.com/guides/web-browser-color-management-guide/

This is what looks like in Firefox on my PC:


This is what looks like in Chrome as well as Opera:

But my PC is pretty fast so I don't feel any difference in performance between FF and Chome. What I'd prefer for now is OF would be more usable in a mobile browser.

I was actually using a standard sRGB monitor to write that post. The keyword is colour management as I am into photography and use a high quality colour calibration application that happens to expose weaknesses in various programs. FF is working properly with colours, but it does not work 100% with OF. I can deal with it when seating in front of the PC just to satisfy my colour desire, but when using a phone, it's quite inconvenient to enjoy OF.

 

I actually agree and appreciate the measures implemented by OF. The problem has nothing to do with OF, but lies at the colour management ability of the browsers. I can't remember how many times Google have change their ways of handling colour profile in Chrome, even supported then removed their Duct-tape fix a few times.

With OF on mobile, is there a setting or option to hide or relocate the menu bar on the left side in order to increase reading space when used vertically?

Regards,

Tony

 

The time and effort that you guys put into this forum is truly amazing and I'm sure I can speak for all regular users in saying that it is appreciated beyond what can be said with just words. You add hugely to our enjoyment of this hobby and I hope that you can make a shed load of money out of selling your forum software.

As always - a massive "Thank you" to all involved.

 

Just curious would your - heavily modified forum engine - could be used to build another forum easily?

 

Second what Stewart said. Superb work, Trev and team!
