... topic: 2432 Windows 7 64 bit& Firefox posted: 24 Mar 2014 19:41 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Sorry to be the proverbial pain in the you know what, but I have downloaded Firefox, and find I cannot log in on the Templot Club site. The Firefox down load was version 28.0, and I checked to see if suitable for Win 7. The only comment on the Mozella site was, that although Firefox would run on Win 7 32& 64 bit OS's, only the 32 bit version was supported. The program appears to have installed OK. Now as to my problem, I can browse the Templot club site as normal, without logging in, but as expected, I cannot post a message. When I try to log in on the site, I fill in the usual login box with the correct details, i.e. my user name and password. When I click the LOGIN button, it goes away and to all in tents, it has logged me in, as there is no login ...
... topic: 856 Warning -- Firefox users please read posted: 8 Jun 2009 12:40 from: Martin Wynne This is a serious warning from a respected source. If you are using Firefox you may want to check Tools> Add-ons to see if Microsoft have installed this extension without your permission. Please be aware that modifying the Windows Registry is not for the faint-hearted, and could seriously damage your system if you get it wrong. In a recent update of the .NET framework Microsoft silently installs an extension to your Firefox browser if it is found on your system. This extension enables websites you visit with Firefox to silently install software on your computer, thus injecting the most serious flaw of Internet Explorer into Firefox. Microsoft installs this extension in such a way that it cannot be removed directly by the user -- it is listed in the Extensions list but Uninstall is disabled. This is not a bug -- this is the intended functionality of the Firefox extension, probably to enable Microsoft to install software on your machine when ...
... topic: 1934 Google Chrome and Templot Club posted: 25 Apr 2012 20:13 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin I think this is the best forum for this post! I've recently semi-switched to Google Chrome, from Firefox, as the latter is starting to get a bit clunky (Chrome has it's quirks as well though!) Anyway, I just tried to reply to a post and discovered that Templot Club doesn't work properly in Chrome! 105_251505_330000000.png The screenshot shows the result of selecting text then clicking the quote tool. You can see all sorts of other things wrong or missing as well! A quick peek at the market share of various browsers suggests that it might be a good idea for sites to work with Chrome- it could also be argued that it would be a good idea if Chrome worked with existing sites, but that's a whole different story Needless to say, I'm using Firefox to post this... posted: 25 Apr 2012 21:21 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, There are 4 different posting editors ...
... has obviously decided after the last time that Templot is OK Stuart posted: 28 Nov 2017 12:27 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the feedback. What I'm really waiting for is for someone to confirm that the video links are working nicely. For example, if you go to this page (you can click help> watch a video >> >): http://templot.com/companion/video_list.php and 1. click one of the video links, you should see something like this. (This is in Firefox, in other browsers it will be different -- in Edge it appears at the bottom of the screen): 2_280842_460000000.png 2. wherever it is, you should be able to select Open, or else see a .sk5 file name which can be double-clicked. 3. and when you do that and click OK or whatever (as you can see, Firefox is by far the most informative and user-friendly), 4. you should then see a downloading progress bar like this: 2_280700_080000001.png 5. after ...
... leave only the relevant bits. But in the end it's your posting. Are you carefully crafting a detailed reply or scribbling a quick note? Is there a spell checker on the system? (I can spell, but my fingers are so arthritic now that I constantly hit the space between to keys.... Yes, there is a spell-checker -- but the news you now won't want to hear is that the spell-checker is available only if you are using Internet Explorer. It's not available in Firefox, sorry. When you click the spell-check button it marks words in bold maroon, which isn't always obvious -- I will see about changing that to something brighter. Also in IE, but not in Firefox, your paragraphs are automatically spaced like a word processor, so there is no need to enter blank lines between them. Before sending your reply you can click the Preview button to see how it will look, and scroll back down to the editor to make any changes before clicking Send. For a ...
... I'm not sure why you think the link in your signature is not a hyperlink- your recent posts to P4_talk seemed OK, if I remember correctly. You won't be able to click the link in your signature text file, but it will appear as a hyperlink on outgoing emails. My signature is done in exactly the same way, and does appear as a hyperlink on emails and usenet postings. Have you tried the plug-in for the date that Borg-Rail suggested? One of the huge advantages that Thunderbird and Firefox have over the equivalent Micro$oft products is that they can be customised. If there is something that you want it to do, someone else has probably had the same thought and written a plug-in or a user.js tweak for it. Have a bumble through http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ It really is worth persevering with Thunderbird!

In the meantime affected members can access Templot Club via the Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot If this problem is going to recurr I shall have to rethink the hosting move to Data 1 in Ohio. regards, Martin. posted: 19 Feb 2009 12:45 from: Martin Wynne Back on at 12:30 GMT No explanation yet from ISP. Martin. posted: 19 Feb 2009 14:43 from: Martin Dobbins Interesting... I started using Firefox because I was tired of Internet Explorer doing some odd things occasionally. I keep IE around because there are just a few things it does a little better. This morning I could not sign into this site using Firefox, so I tried IE and had no problem signing in. Since I'm not used to Firefox there are probably some settings I've missed Martin 2.1 posted: 19 Feb 2009 15:02 from: Martin Wynne Martin Dobbins wrote: This morning I could not sign into this site using Firefox Hi Martin, One ...
... Nothing to do with Templot but the 'hold CTRL to open in an additional tab' will often produce the same as not holding it depending on browser settings. Hi Rob, In this case pages open in a named tab, so without CTRL they should always open in the same tab. It seems to work in several browsers in my tests, but of course ultimately I have no control over a user's browser settings. Whether the browser actually switches to the tab is another user setting. All I can say is that using Firefox on my systems everything always works as I expect and intend. Other browsers, maybe not. That's the problem with relying solely on a web-based format -- browsers are a minefield to keep track of. I have enough to do with Templot without getting into extreme web design. For example, in the FlashbackConnect videos, why does the Android browser not support the interactive pauses? Whereas Google Chrome on the same device does? They are essentially the same browser. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Sep 2017 ...
... only real issue that I have with this forum s/w is that it's sometime difficult to get a decent printed copy of a thread. Even the "printer friendly" version often yields an image that is too wide to fit on landscape US paper. I often have to resort to hand copy-and-pasting the articles into a Word document and printing from there. Hi Joe, This is down to your browser settings, not the web page itself. You didn't say which browser you are using. Assuming it's Firefox, click the File> Page Setup... menu item: firefox_print_setup.png and tick the box for Shrink To Fit Page Width. The page will then be scaled down to fit the images within the margins (if you use the Printer friendly option on the forum). Probably the margin settings on the other tab could be reduced too. If the new forum s/w version better supports "printer friendly" printing, then it might be worth considering. It now seems that the new forum software will be available ...

It's presumably not how it should work!! Hi Paul, Nigel, No it isn't. Several users have been reporting this, but it was working fine here in Firefox. Until the latest Firefox update a couple of days ago. Now it's not working here either. I will look into it. However, several weeks ago I did put a note below the button on the editor. Did anyone read it: 2_080950_470000000.png p.s. Nigel, I have inserted your pic. Great lighting.

... But when I send the message to the forum, and view the message on the forum, I find that the quoted material is untrimmed and my content is not present. I then have to use the 'Edit' facility to do the trimming of the quote, and to add my text, send it, and the message then appears as intended. This has just happened in my message to the 'Fremington North' thread, and it happened on another response some weeks ago. I'm using WinXP Home running the latest update of Firefox. Jim. posted: 29 Jul 2007 15:57 from: Martin Wynne Hi Jim, Sorry you are having trouble. I'm also using XP Home and the latest Firefox update, and I haven't had the problems you mentioned. So I'm a bit puzzled what to suggest. Anyone else? Maybe there is a setting in Firefox somewhere which affects this. Perhaps it is related to the length of the quoted section -- I tend to trim long original messages into shorter quoted sections. Also after doing a Preview I ...
... the top minus buttons to hide the slideshow and notes before printing -- right click on it, then this frame> print frame on the pop-up menu. 4. The bad news is that I have had to revert to the old frame-set theme for the Companion. The "frozen peas" HTML5 theme is much more attractive, but there is a problem with it caching the pages and requiring a manual reload every time after I update the site. This appears to be a known bug with iframes in Firefox. I will see if I can find a fix for this. Here's the updated link: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?fit_turnout_to_existing_curves.htm regards, Martin. posted: 27 Jan 2013 00:04 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Much better with less mouse-moving to do.

... /technology/7784908.stm I have never thought of using anything other than Internet Explorer- simple inertia, I suppose. Apart from this highlighted security issue, would folk recommend that I should be using a different browser? What would be the other advantages? Noel posted: 17 Dec 2008 04:44 from: chrisLard Noel, It's not just this security issue but the numerous others that occurred before in this and previous versions. It seems at times that IE has more holes in it than Swiss Cheese! Personally, I use Firefox. In fact, most of the people I know use Firefox too. It has it's foibles from time to time but for normal browsing it works great. The additional ad-ons you can download to enhance it I find are particularly useful. Of course it's each to their own. Mac users have Safari for which there is a Windows version. Google have not long ago released a browser too so their are plenty of IE alternates out there.

All the best, Brian. Attachment: attach_1798_2428_Templot2_Message _Screenshot_A.png 312 posted: 24 Mar 2014 15:42 from: Martin Wynne Hi Brian, This board has 4 posting editors: 1. Enhanced editor 1 -- this is for Internet Explorer. 2. Enhanced editor 2 -- this is for Firefox and Google Chrome. 3. Basic editor -- this is for all other browsers. 4. HTML TextArea -- this is used for the Quick Reply box. It seems that you are seeing the Basic editor. No doubt Microsoft have made another update to IE and changed everything yet again. It is a constant battle of wits keeping web sites compatible with IE and I'm not much inclined to bother any more. Please change to Firefox for Templot Club. You will then see all the previous editor functions. You ...

... topic: 461 Firefox 3 posted: 19 Jun 2008 12:27 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, You may have noticed this note above every message on Templot Club: Clicked a link? Arrived at the wrong message? Wait until the page has finished loading, click in the address bar and then press the Enter key. This is a timing bug in some browsers. I'm pleased to say that this bug has finally been fixed in Firefox 3. Firefox now re-positions the page automatically when rendering is finished -- just like Opera, but faster. There are other improvements too -- faster page loading, mouse wheel zooming can be text only or text-and-images option, easier to spot the active tab when you have lots of them open, etc. But fixing the above bug is the major highlight for me. So far Firefox 3 hasn't come up as an automatic update, no doubt to spread the load on the download servers. But you can get it now by going to: http:// ...
... seem to involve Intel Petium 6700 8MB, 1000GB 7200rpm hard drive, 4GB RAM,& 4096MB Corsair 667 memory. Talking of two screens...happen to have seen a Website- think it was ZenVision (I have lost my scribbled note) which can supply a bank of eight screens in two rows. Templot would be great on that!! Whilst writing& changing the subject to the Opera browser, does anyone know how to set a proxy server in permanently? The method of setting-up is identical to Firefox but, whilst Firefox will retain the http proxy, Opera loses it everytime it is closed. Opera has some valuable aspects which are lacking in Firefox, but these are somewhat negated by losing the proxy everytime!! (Also, I have found that Firefox is more acceptable to some institutions, such as banks). Regards, Raymond. posted: 7 Jul 2007 15:36 from: donald peters Hi, May I just ask a quickie of our experts?

... of viewing the video. You should find a handy contents list in the Jump To menu on the player. 2. Alternatively the video can be viewed in Flash format on the Templot Companion web pages here: http://templot.com/companion/index.html?add_slip_roads.htm The buttons in the Flash video may or may not work, according to the Adobe Flash security settings on your system. Which format do you prefer? Flash isn't available on some mobile devices. For some reason it plays much larger in Internet Explorer than in Firefox. Please don't suggest HTML5 video. We are not going there -- I have spent hours testing it in several formats, trying to find a reasonable video quality for line graphics, in a reasonable file size, and it can't be done.* if the FBR file doesn't open, please make a note of where you saved it and then in Templot go to help> video tutorials> new video player menu item, and then on the player click the File> Open... menu item.* the ...
... "Close Program" the option reads "Cancel", clicking this makes Templot enter a screaming tight loop, with myriads of dialogs all reading "Access violation 005B8001 Reading memory 000002D8" Uninstalling/reinstalling has had no effect. It sounds like a problem on my laptop, can anyone confirm this is probably the cause, before I call the work tech guys in to give my laptop a health check? Also, and this may have bee posted before so apologies, Login to the Templot Forum does not appear to work on Firefox Browsers, the password is accepted, but the site still assumes I am not logged in. Again this may be some Firefox configuration issue, my end, since Templot forum is not the only web site I have found this.

The 4am bit less so posted: 29 Feb 2012 20:28 from: Martin Wynne Hi Phil, Press ALT+ F4 to close IE (or any active Windows program). Then you can try to find out why it is launching on start-up. Or maybe switch to Firefox and make it your default browser? What you are seeing may be some other start-up program trying to access the internet and display a page.

... topic: 132 Problem in Firefox 2.0.0.6 posted: 16 Aug 2007 18:52 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, There seems to be a problem in the latest update to Firefox (2.0.0.6) in finding page anchors. Click a link to a specific message, such as: topic 117- message 611 (currently the most recent message in the Fremington topic, Rextanka, Aug 14th) If the page is not in the cache, the page first comes up in the wrong place. Only if you then click Reload does it finally find the correct message anchor. This seems to be worse in long topics containing image attachments. It's a great nuisance if you want to use the link in an email to go to the forum to reply. Is anyone else seeing this? Is anyone still using an earlier version of Firefox for comparison? I'm sure it was working fine until recently. IE and Opera seem to be working ok and find the correct message anchor first time. regards, Martin. posted: 16 Aug 2007 20:04 from ...
