Vbulletin vs. Firefox!

What version of Firefox do you have? Look under Help!

I use Firefox and no problems.

Are you using any type of fire wall or other Internet privacy software? May have to be reconfigured.

Check out your Java script console in tools after trying to post.

No we are talking about the up arrow beside the quote button in each post.

You're right - the button doesn't on the same tab. Open it in another tab and you open to the top of the page.

What version of Firefox do you have?

1.06

Are you using any type of fire wall or other Internet privacy software?

Yes, Norton and through a router, but neither caused problems prior to the change nor any other type of forums.

Check out your Java script console in tools after trying to post.

Java Console is blank. I can cut/copy/paste using the Edit pulldown in the browser but cannot use the buttons cut/copy/paste icons in this window. All other edit features work ok.

The problem with the up-arrow is a classic Firefox vs. IE issue, or more precisely, the fact that Firefox handles HTML and such more strictly than IE does.

In the HTML standards, a hyperlink such as:

<a href="http://www.radioreference.com/forums/showthread.php?p=138643#top">Go to the top</a>

requires a corresponding anchor (<A>) tag with the "name" attribute, on the same page, such as the bolded parts of the code shown below (the non-bolded is a pre-existing part of the page, as per View>Source):

[b]<a name="top">[/b]<IMG src="/images/header/rr_head.gif" alt="" border="0" hspace="0">[b]</a>[/b]

The "name" attribute has to be a non-blank tag closed with the </A> tag.

The page you are viewing right now has no such "name" attribute.

I suspect the reason IE works is that IE has been designed to reload the entire page, position the viewer at the top of the page, and then locate the hyperlink; while Firefox needs to find the hyperlink first, and won't bother reloading the page (thus never brings you back to the top of the page). The reason it would work if you open it in a new tab or window is because the new tab or window defaults to the top of the webpage.

My recommendation to make this work is for Lindsay to create an anchor tag with the NAME attribute of 'top', somewhere immediately after the 'body' tag is opened on the webpage. Were it me, I would make it around the <IMG> tag for the rr_head.gif image (the radio tower, etc., in the upper left).

I have the same problem with the arrow.

Using Firefox 1.0.6.

Java Console is blank

Did you click the all button in the console?

Are you using the basic,standard or enhanced message editor?

I'm using the basic version because I know all the VB code tags already and just type them. If I can't remember a emoicon tag while posting, I go down to the posting rules box and click similes to see the tag.

The issue may just be that of the Gecko rendering engine. I havn't tried using the other message editor settings that much, have used them in other forums using vBulletin but never clicked on the copy/paste/cut buttons at all. I like to right click everything. The option for the message editor is found in user cp above, and is in options, last option.Boo!-Poltergeisty :-0
