I just discoverd a bug here.
I tried to make multiple votes but it allowed me only one. However, I did click several times between IE and Firefox, so it seems it memorized all my clicks and displayed on the results page IE 4 : Firefox 1. So it seems the radio button indicator in the poll does not work properly.

I prefer Opera. Firefox is such a mess. Though I use it for pornistes so they won't show on my Opera page history ;) Also, I think I have a fairly goof reason not to use IE anymore: http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/avg.bmp check out the pic...

^ the best browser ever, particularly if you also use the plugins https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 - Noscript and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 - Adblock Plus . Strongly recommended plugins, not only because adverts can be a real nuisance, but also because they can pose a real security risk. Besides, some pages load *much* faster without the ads. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

I certainly understand the temptation to use these add-ons, as I did for quite some time. However, there are some compelling reasons not to use them, especially in the case of Adblock. The unpleasant fact of the internet is that it's not free, but advertisements (as obnoxious as they generally are) assuage the financial burden of site hosts. By blocking the ads, one is, in fact, shifting costs to another party altogether. (Note that I'm hardly a cheerleader for capitalism, but this is the reality we presently and unfortunately face.) Javascript does pose a potential threat to users, mainly because the user is allowing an external program to run on her machine. However, disabling javascript may cripple the functioning of legitimate websites (financial institutions, etc.). Of course, NoScript allows the user to "white list" safe sites in a fairly straightforward way. Still it is likely that only advanced users would detect that a disabled script is causing a particular rendering problem. In any case, the use of a little common sense while online is arguably the best way to maintain security. (I haven't used NoScript for about six months, and yet I haven't had one malware infection on my machine, which runs XP Pro.) |

^ I'm well aware of the problem of ad blockers causing financial damage for some websites ... but the problem is that some forms of web ads are really nasty. I wouldn't mind normal advertising (banners), but unfortunately there's no straight forward way to block offensive ads and keep the normal ones. Noscript ... I agree that it might be too much for some users. I also admit that the risk of malware infection through Firefox Javascript is relatively small. It's a little bit different for XSS (cross site scripting) ... as I use many web 2.0 sites (last.fm, ratingfreak.com, etc) I feel a little bit safer knowing that the website doesn't simply load and execute scripts from www.snakeoil.com unless I explicitly permit it. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

I use Firefox 3, with AdBlock + and NoScript. IE just has too many issues. My website does not display properly in it for starters... I've put in JavaScript Code to try and solve this and it still doesn't display my page correctly. Microsoft use some really weird HTML codings... especially with CSS. Firefox however displays everything how I desire it, is faster, more user-friendly and due to add-ons, stops me getting Malware too. It's just perfect. There was a time when Firefox 2 annoyed me but that was due to Mozillas tinkering. I stayed with 1.5 for ages. Then I updated to 2 again and all was fine. Now I'm using 3 and it's better than ever. It's less memory resident too. IE takes ages to load and isn't use friendly to me... I remember once when I was using another computer with IE on, there Refresh button was not easy to find... that was just silly! The only time I ever use IE is for XP updates and not even they seem to working properly... oh and my brother uses IE when he visits sometimes, which is also very annoying, 'cause I have no protection from Malware with IE. Safari was installed with iTunes the other day but it's yet to be looked at by me, so I don't know if I'll like it or not. -------------

Ugh, the amount of firefoxing makes me want to puke. I use Opera. Firefox only for porn, so it wouldn't stay in my recent urls. I had a lot of problems with it and the quicktime plug-in. And once they released 3. it was fixed, but now the scaling for pixelart makes it impossible for me to view most fo the images I look for. try and find some zoomed in images of old NES games or something like Monkey Island. Also, Opera's no worse than FF, has a nicer tab function/interface and also has much less browser related worms about. |
Posted By: VanderGraafKommandöh
Date Posted: July 24 2008 at 14:08
 That's plenty big enough! That's in Firefox.  Maybe a little small... but not that bad. Why would you want a zoomed in version of pixel art anyway? It's also the same size in IE. I've never had a worm with Firefox. -------------

Haha! Yeah, no, really, I do quite a lot of old school gaming art for programs such as AGS, if you haven't heard. www.bigbluecup.com It's an Adventura Game creator. Basically the most fascinating thing there is to create the graphics as they used to once. Same goes to Zelda-like RPGs. Also, I don't know, if you're assuming I'm viewing the images on Firefox too, because I'm not, so basically I don't see how the zooming would show there. Oh, and, I'd rather experience the bgs I'm working on on a big screen, after all, you don't play games on such a small window anyway.
