... topic: 2248 Firefox 22 Update posted: 3 Jul 2013 10:25 from: Martin Wynne The latest Firefox 22 update has wrecked Templot Club and every other web site for users on 120dpi (125%) screens or higher. 1px in the CSS is no longer 1 pixel on the screen and all images are fuzzy. This is the worst Firefox update in living memory: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962945 Until Mozilla change this back, pressing Ctrl-Minus twice restores the previous page view. You need do this only once, Firefox will then remember it for all Templot Club pages. If you use the Windows default 96dpi (100%) please disregard this. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Jul 2013 11:41 from: R C Lake Not sure what my settings are etc., but the upgrade has just happened on my PC. It has made everything seem sharper- incredibly sharp, in fact. Might even delay the next visit to the opticians ;) posted: 3 Jul ...

... 2010 10:38 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, Sorry to hear you are not feeling too well. I hope you are soon on the mend. take care, Martin. posted: 22 Jul 2010 18:04 from: Paul Boyd Hi Brian You said: And, come to think of it, why does this message writer not have a spelling checker? At the risk of getting my head chewed off, your browser should have a spell checker built in- surely they all do these days? I'm usign Firefox, and the word preceding "Firefox" has a little red squiggle underneath it to show that it's spelt wrongly (deliberately, in this case!). I can then right-click over the word to give the usual spell checker options. This is all built in to Firefox as standard, and I would assume that Internet Explorer has the same feature, as MS seems to be copying anything that Mozilla do Take care, and hope you'll soon be on the mend. posted: 22 Jul 2010 22:52 ...
... I am happy with this- it is far longer than I spend on most sites. Direct traffic was 45.73% Traffic via Search engines was 30.63%- 26.40% was Google. As would be expected the main keyword was 'c&l finescale'. Traffic via referring sites was 23.63% 4.23% from S4 site. 3.79% from the GOG site and only 2.33% from UKmodelshops. The latter is disappointing, suggesting it is not used as fully as one would have thought. 72.06% used IE 22.83% used Firefox 2.92% used Safari 1.24% used Opera 0.51% used Netscape. Origins. Overwhelmingly from the UK. Then in diminishing order as follows: USA. Australia. France. Netherlands. New Zealand. Canada. Germany. Norway. Ireland. (This is very much in line with our own sales figures). Quite interesting. Clearly it is not in the league of some sites with half a million hits a day. But for a model railway site it probably is not too bad. Regards Brian Lewis Carrs- ...
24. WYSIWYG posting
... at the same time is properly delimited when received as plain text emails. At the moment it's proving elusive. The normal boxed panel quoting used on web forums appears in plain text emails without any delimiters at all, which is very confusing for the reader. At present I have set three equals signs as the delimiter. Note that this forum software has THREE different posting editors: 1. Fully WYSIWYG and almost a word processor in IE with spell-check and auto para spacing. 2. A more restricted WYSIWYG editor in Firefox without spell-check and needing blank lines between paras. 3. A basic plain text editor in Opera and other browsers. Which means you need to say which browser you are using when reporting problems. I expected a few teething problems... regards, Martin. posted: 13 Jun 2007 19:34 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin> The problem is to find a nested quoting format which looks good and clear on the forum, and at the same time is properly delimited when received as plain text emails ...

... what it is if you have forgotten. Even if you have forgotten it and your browser hasn't saved it, there is a simple mechanism on the forum to get a new password. But the forum cookie is valid for 5 years anyway. So provided you allow it to be set, you need to log in only once. After that you will be logged in automatically every time you visit Templot Club, until you log out or do something on your computer to cause the cookie to be deleted. If you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer it is very simple. As soon as you type the first B of your user ID in the box, a list of your user IDs will drop down. You then click on "Brian Lewis" and Firefox will fill in your password for you. Then you simply click "Login" and you are set for 5 years hassle-free access to Templot Club. This assumes that when you first logged in, you answered "yes" when Firefox asked if you wanted to have your password saved ...
... it doesn't look very promising, but if you keep zooming in eventually it breaks into vector mapping down to the level of individual rails. This OS vector mapping is very expensive to buy, but this is a free resource of small extracts for planning purposes. Unfortunately it has a rather prominent watermark on every image. click: OS Planning Maps Using the tools on the left, click or draw a rectangle to zoom in, or drag the map to pan. Right-clicking to save the image doesn't work, but in Firefox you can use the Tools> Page Info> Media function to do Save As... on the map image. Note that there is a time limit for doing this after displaying the page -- the image url is created temporarily in the database. Or you could take screen captures, of course. Then use photo-stitch software from your digital camera to create a larger map for use as a Templot background picture shape. Or simply use multiple picture shapes -- use the shift shape mouse action with transparent ...

... useful, especially as it seems to repeat itself a couple of times I agree with Rob, if any explanation can be kept within the existing frame without cluttering it, I'm for that. Cheers Phil. posted: 21 Jul 2019 15:40 from: John Shelley That looks very good Martin. As has already been said keep any explanation within the "video" window, having to look away, in my view, merely interrupts viewing and could lead to a small but important detail being missed. In my browser, Firefox, it just kept on repeating. Is that what you intended? Is it possible to make it stop after a single showing with a user controlled option to leave "Got it" or see it again "Replay". As to explanation, maybe a title page could be added, just a few words to describe what is about to be shown, or am I just getting carried away with the bells and whistles, I don't wish to add to your workload.

... and working on other things. I have now returned to Templot and gone through the necessary procedures to clear out any aspects of Templot 1 that might get in the way. I have now downloaded Templot 2 into a new folder as directed. When I attempt to start it "Welcome to Templot..." comes up then nothing. After about 5 minutes: "Sorry unable to connect..." I have tried several times over a couple of days with the same result including downloading again. I am using Firefox under Windows 8. I have tried turning off "Tracking Protection in Firefox" which I thought might be inhibitng the process. I have never had any other problem with software like this and Templot used to work perfectly happily on this PC.

You can set the expiry limit as the number of downloads or a time limit, and set an optional password. If the limit is more than 1 download or 1 day, or the total file size is more than 1GB, you need to create an account first. The maximum limit is 100 downloads or 7 days. There is no limit on the number of files, but if more than one they are put in a single zip file for download. cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Mar 2019 15:51 from: Martin Wynne Apart from its intended purpose, this is a simple no-brainer way to put a few files in a zip file for attachment here on Templot Club.
