maybe emmzee updated the forums and is putting some mods back in?

Indeed, Emmzee seems to have disabled not only the google ads, but also the forum status, members logged in thingy, and the admin panel access from the main page. (Which means I have to enter one of the forums in order to access the admin panel, annoying...)

Ok I've got a fix for this, not being an admin I can't implement it myself, so Dogbreath or emmzee next time you're on MSN give me a shout and I'll send the code your way.

Tooodooo...
It's working for me now.
But, totally unrelated to the forum, firefox is now not working.
WIERD.

Highly advised: the Firefox 1.5.0.2 Security and Stability Update,
closes some security flaws and unstable points.

Simply install the update over your previous installation.( if you didn't do it by now of course).

Dosraider: Thanks man. My dad re-installed it and it still wasn't working.
But I just went and downloaded 1.5.0.2 and now it's working great.

Uhm, when I was on here with Opera a few minutes ago, the marked as read thing was still going at it, and it didn't show me the new posts.
Maybe firefox will change that, but...I dunno.

Well I sent emmzee the code to fix the issue on MSN the other day, but he was busy, he said he'd get to it when he has time. SO yeah, just have to wait I guess.

Oh and for future reference, when a new version of Firefox is released you should get a notification in your browser, also you don't have to install over the top of your old version as that will remove any customisation/extensions you had installed. Simply click 'help' then select 'Search for updates' and you can patch your old version with the new features of the current version.

Only IF you don't disable the auto update.
On mine it's disabled, I dislike that everytime you start a prog it goes look for updates, I like a FAST system. And also I wait usually some time before updating a prog, it wouldn't be the first time that an update screws things up.

Sorry TSM, you're wrong here.
A FF upgrade keeps all your customisation / extensions. After an update you find it all back.
That's if they are not blacklisted as dangerous or incompatible of course.

Sorry dosraider you're wrong there, I know from experience. If say you download Firefox 1.5 to update from Firefox 1.0, such as I did awhile ago, you will lose all your customisations and extensions. If you upgrade via a patch that won't happen, but if you install a whole new version over your old version then you will infact lose extensions/customisations.

Post by **dosraider** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:14 am

I take your word for that, BUT: I never have lost any when updating/patching.

Maybe I should have said "third-party" extensions/customisations.
If you stay with the own FF ext/cust thingys a FF patch/update takes them over.

So we are both right it seems.

Sorry I must not have made myself clear, you WON’T lose data if you upgrade using a patch. You WILL lose data if say you download the whole 5MB file and install it over the top of your current version.
