the web site has a forum help section, and in it there's a link to a forum FAQ, containing info about the forum software (not about the WCG ) The URL is http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/mvnplugin/mvnforum/docs/faq.html
----------------------------------------This link does not load correctly for me in Firefox, but it does load fine in IE. Can someone check it out and let me know if this is unique to my Firefox, or does the page not load correctly for anyone's firefox? Thanks in advance EDIT 1/7/2005 - seems to be working now, so if something was fixed, thanks! [Edit 1 times, last edit by joatmon at Jan 7, 2005 8:50:31 PM] |

It's pretty messed up in my Firefox as well. Clearly some mistakes in ye old code... which IE blithely ignores, as usual.

If you also don't want your current browser window to be replaced by the WCG page when you click on the links in the Agent, you can configure your browser to open a new tab/window using the following instructions: Mozilla: * should already do this. Firefox: 1. Tools->Options... 2. Select 'Advanced' in the left bar 3. Expand the 'Tabbed Browsing' section if not already expanded. 4. In the 'Open links from other applications in' section, select 'a new window' (or 'a new tab in the most recent window' if you want a new tab instead of a window). 5. Click OK Internet Explorer: 1. Tools->Internet Options... 2. Select the Advanced Tab 3. Under 'Browsing', uncheck the 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts' checkbox. 4. Click OK or Apply. Opera 1. Tools->Preferences... 2. Select 'Windows' in the left bar 3. Select 'Prefer separate windows' from the Window handling list. 4. OK or Apply. As long as we're here, my personal browser is: Mozilla. Firefox just has too many bugs compared to Mozilla. It's also either lacking or made unusable a lot of the features that are easily accessible in Mozilla (bookmark & load a group of tabs anyone?) Not to start a war or anything. Just my opinion.  I used Mozilla a few months ago ..had some problems might try again  |

I used Mozilla a few months ago ..had some problems might try again I would recommend installing Mozilla and/or Firefox. Heck, install both! They don't interfere with each other and you can play with them all and choose which you like best.

It's also either lacking or made unusable a lot of the features that are easily accessible in Mozilla (bookmark & load a group of tabs anyone?) Not to start a war or anything. Just my opinion. Those features are easily added as extensions, for those who want it. Have you used Firefox lately? It's been rock-solid stable on every system I have installed it on (probably close to 100) since the 1.0 version was released. I find the full Mozilla client to be bloated with features I don't want or need, and considerably LESS stable than Firefox, most likely due to the increased complexity. Memory usage is a lot higher on Mozilla than Firefox, as well, for viewing the same webpage. The streamlined Firefox client is exactly what a web browser should be: fast, lightweight, secure, and broadly compatible. And the download is a lot smaller, too.  |

I am finding Mozilla a little difficult for my feeble mind! If it gets to bad ill go back  |

I have been using Firefox for a while (long before the name of firefox) and it is becoming better and better. Some of the extra functionality that people require can be achieved by using extensions.
There are some problems though displaying some web pages (including some on this forum). This is generally due to the fact that web site designers have taken the easy route and programmed solely for IE. As the IE market share reduces, this should (hopefully) become less prevalant. Also widespread use of browsers such as firefox, maxthon, safari, opera etc which are more standard compliant may force Microsoft to update IE to be more standard compliant. |

You are correct. As a website designer and programmer, I tended to do whatever was necessary to make things work on IE. Now I am having to spend many hours going back and making things standards compliant so that they work with the other browsers.  Still, I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it has made an "honest" programmer out of me That is if there is such a thing. |

I am using Mozilla now on one system ---its pretty good--getting used to it i think ill put on the other one Ireally like the way it handles passwords |
