JC,

In *some* browsers, holding down the shift key while clicking on the link will cause it to open in a new window: shift-click!

OK,

Now I understand.

In NS 7 you have the option of killing pop-up windows, using tabs instead of multiple windows, and many other neat little whistles and bells. I have configured it to use the little middle-click to open a new tab (and I LOVE it).

The problem I have found is that, since the new window is opened by a Java script and not an HTML tag, it won't open correctly if I try to force it.

I have just resigned myself to having to remember that IE = close new window and NS = hit the back button (at least until they stop using Java to open new windows from threads).

Small price to pay when you consider all of the issues that they are having with Opera...

Dan,

The layout of the html pages is not working, I guess problems with loading the style sheet.

Dan,

Every time I search, I get a message saying I could not be logged on and need to register. Am I doing something wrong?

Dan,

As of 9:10AM EST, all the symbols (hats, bunnies, HP moderator, expert, etc) have been replaced with the text which describes their meaning ("ITRC Olympian 20000 points", "This question has at least one answer that has received a rating of 8 points or better", etc). Is this what people are talking about when they say they're having problems loading the "style sheets"?

Anyway, this is only true in Mozilla 1.4 under HP-UX 11i. I've tried both Netscape and Exploder under Winblowze - they work fine.

It's kind of amusing for a while but ultimately annoying. ;^(

Dan,

The good new is that my browser crashed and restarting it took care of the problem.

Disregard, kind sir.

P.S. Tomorrow's the 31st! Time to put the Post-It (tm) Note on your monitor, reminding you to start new threads for November!

I have a little workaround fix for the apostrophe and other stuff turning into garbage when pasted from Word:

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect, then uncheck "Replace Text as You Type" and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.

Under Replace as You Type, uncheck the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box.

This is an apostrophe '
This is three dots ...

You can tell your developers that this is not a big mystery. Word replaces straight quotes (like you see on a typewriter) with curly quotes (like you see in a book). They also replace a straight apostrophe (single quote) with a curly one. The curly ones have a different ASCII code. Obviously the Forum program doesn't handle them well. Should be easy enough to filter them and convert them back to straight quotes.

Dan,

I'm afraid I'm going to have to take back that "disregard". Twice yesterday afternoon and twice this morning, I've had to close down and restart my browser to clean up the "text instead of symbols" problem. It now appears that there are no browsers that work correctly under HP-UX. This is extremely disappointing!

Ron,

There are tools that will actually spell check input right in the HP itrc web pages. I can't stand them because they lack technical words, but they are readily available at download.com

I have found itrc to be slowly getting better. Sometimes the progress is not noticeable day to day. But week to week, when I look back things seem to be getting better.

Dan,

I agree with George Morrision on this topic:

Could you pass on our concerns to the maintainers of the "custom patch management" that this just isn't going to cut it for people that are maintaining many systems? It doesn't save previous systems so you can't "re-run" them without uploading the *.fs file again. This procedure might work well for M$ garbage, but it doesn't cut the mustard for real OS's.

The problem that annoys me is the ever-present issue that
pops up each day between noon and 2pm, EST... where you can
search for something you KNOW is there, (ie... Ignite) and
get no results whatsoever. If you still have a link to an old
topic, everything is fine. Browsing the forums are fine.

It's as if the search engine just decides not to search.

Would a null posting qualify as a problem?
