Wazoo Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Dark Blue bar at top of screen - opens targeted items in a "NEW" window Grey bar (third one down) - replaces existing web page in browser display (Newsgroup link excepted, as if it works, your newsreader application wil fire up, normally this is not your web browser) Why the difference? Accessibilty issues - thowing up new windows can confuse some helper apps System Resources - you open a new window, memory is allocated .. close that window, not all that allocated memory is freed up, eventually causing some systems to crash User Control - some would like new windows, some would like to use Tabbed browsing (which is usually trashed by forcing a new window to open), some folks get confused when a 'new' window opens up over the top of the existing window and the "Back" button doesn't work .. Matches the actions of the existing items in the grey bar Justifying the hacking of more than one section of code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 ORIGINAL FAQ is linked off of the FORUM FAQ, and is therefore basically redundant in the banners (and taking too much horizontal space) - why not consolidate them to FAQ leading to the Forum FAQ?

shreff Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Dark Blue bar at top of screen... 27846[/snapback] Hi guys, I myself noticed it looked different at the top a few days ago. But what was strange is I expected to get the notice in System News. You know, the actual reason we are all here....the mail! As far as I could tell, there has been no announcement there ever in 8 months of my use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi guys, I myself noticed it looked different at the top a few days ago. But what was strange is I expected to get the notice in System News. You know, the actual reason we are all here....the mail! As far as I could tell, there has been no announcement there ever in 8 months of my use. Not sure about any System News/e-mail Announcement thing. Maybe you are talking about something brought up at http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4104 ??? (to which I would add that the last time I looked (checking out those new links, there was srill nothing showing as news ... not sure if JT understood the question .. I'm not sure I understood his answer <g>) I can tell you for a fact that there is no e-mail service running on the server that this Forum is running on <g> Or maybe wiser to say .. I did the modifications to the Forum software and I have no connection to SpamCop e-mail???? ORIGINAL FAQ is linked off of the FORUM FAQ, and is therefore basically redundant in the banners (and taking too much horizontal space) - why not consolidate them to FAQ leading to the Forum FAQ? 27890[/snapback] Perhaps blame it on me over-compensating for the abuse taken over in the newsgroups? Hit here, then select Thread ... http://news.spamcop.net/pipermail/spamcop-...May/100498.html both that and the next thread ... and for a real 'funny' http://news.spamcop.net/pipermail/spamcop-...May/100597.html ... have to assume I'm kill-filed by a lot of folks at this point<g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for a mention of Forum change at the Email welcom page. My mistake. BTW as you found out, there never is news there. Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW as you found out, there never is news there. Weird There used to be .. a bit of running history. The "problem" appears to be that the e-mail system has been running fine for quite a while <g> .. Why the old data got wiped is another question yet to be answered, uless it's simply due to being old enough to have hit an old age expiration date?

shreff Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I think Steve T would have mentioned it being empty ... 27976[/snapback] ARGHHHH! That's pointing out the mystery. If you noticed, I originally expected forum news to show up when logging in to SC webmail . Then I apologized to Wazoo because he wrote the work he changed is on the forum . So when is somebody going to realize the system news at SC webmail is the exact same path as NEWS at the SC.net login where at the bottom you see the path you mention from SteveT's research was supposedly just updated in April. "News: (Last Modified: Mon Apr 25 13:28:34 2005 -0700)" Therfore both come up empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
