I'm having weird issues. I'm running Firefox and periodically I can't load the site. Yet I just went to IE and it loaded perfectly.

Thoughts?

Now tagless for your comfort.

suela, I just switched to Foxfire due to IE issues. I started getting an error message with IE, tried to reinstall and it didn't work. I wasn't getting IE errors on this site, just CNN and ABC.com. So far, Firefox has worked without a hitch for me and I haven't had any troubles loading this site.

All is well that ends in pizza.

On my XP Pro machine I was having problems with some sites using Firefox until I got the latest 1.0 release candidate and it loads fine now.

I'll try here....just a sec.

Works for me. Hmmm.

What version do you have?

Ah, I'm in 0.9. I should upgrade?

I think it is worth it. 1.0 PR seems very stable to me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's a security flaw in 0.9, so you should probably upgrade anyway.

Thrive to spite them

I skipped a bunch in this thread but I was wondering what the status of the user filter was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's in debugging, askye.

Has DCistas been moved to the b.org server?

Hey. New board.

I have a suggestion.

Would it be possible to set things up so that the threadsuck pages default to opening links in a new window?

Reasoning: I can't count the number of times that I've been catching up in a thread with a several-hundred post threadsuck, gotten halfway down and read about a Cool Website of Awesomeness (tm) with link included. I click, absentmindedly, read the CWoA, and then hit my back button, only to get greeted with the "This page relied on POSTDATA. Would you like to resubmit it?" I sigh, choose "Yes," wait a minute, hurt the b.org servers a bit for no obvious reason, and scroll down trying to find where I stopped reading. It's... annoying.

Now, I could simply middle-click the links and close the new tab when I'm done. I know this. And, usually, I'll do that the SECOND link I check out. But I still had to go through it once because I'm stupid.

But if links opened by default in a new window...

This may annoy more people than it helps. Just a thought.
