I noticed smilies don't work anymore, and also occasionally when I click backspace to delete something it takes me back a page...I do have a gremlin in my computer from looking at a scandalous video the other day...I'm not sure if its related though...

are those issues related to the yellow text at the top of the page???:eek:

It's likely due to the site maintenance.

iboats blowed up the other day....

just think of it being booted in safe mode.

attachments dont work.....the smiley faces and the avitars are gone for now as well.

they will be back......no worries......they (the computer people) are just bringing stuff back a little at a time to make sure it is all working correctly

No! Vice versa....the yellow text at the top of the page is related to the issues....<insert the little graphic that is supposed to show that you are grinning widely and mean this as a joke not a sarcastic jab.....I think it's the green one with all the teeth....but I suppose it could be one of the others....I'll be glad when they are back on line and i don't have to type all this....[add the winking one here now....] >

Find that hard to believe, since some things are shut off and NOT working.

If you guys would actually look around and pay attention to things like big yellow bars at the top of the blue forums, and stickies, and other announcements, and links on the forums, instead of looking only at a post or two, you might just not have to make most of these posts and comments.

Don,

If you would actually read what I wrote, I am not having issues for the features I use, don't get all high and mighty, I and my wife run a large internet company that runs several versions of this software..

If everybody would stop their damn worrying about it and take it for what it is, we would be a whole lot better off, geeze, talk about a bunch of cry babies!

This is a free service, nobody has a stake in this, so just knock it off!

I am happy with what I get for free! Christ. I know you could get rid of me, but I could really care less what you have a hard time in believing.

I download a nasty virus that took me a couple days to get rid of(I am very computer competent and not a computard as someone suggests)...The whole point of the post origionally was to see if I still have issues or if its the site, I figured it was the site but my issues weren't specifically mentioned...So I asked...:eek:

Re: is anyone haveing minor issues with firefox and the iboats site...

Guys,

I apologize for my small rant last evening, but come on, it is very difficult to configure software that runs fluidly on everybody's computer, at best it is a compromise to try and get it right, I do all of the configuration work for my wife when she sets this stuff up for her clients and it is very hard to figure out what the users visiting are using, how they have their software configure, what little quirks are on your computer and what will happen to others if I tweek it to fix something for a small number of users. I am sure the owners of this site are in the same position and are trying to get it to work correctly for the majority of users.
