Albert Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 I just tried it with Firefox 1.5 and while I was messing around in the menus it crashed on me. Interesting--I'll have to look and see if there have been reports of problems with Firefox 1.5. Which menus were you attempting to use when it crashed? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxtracker93 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Firefox 1.5 is pretty outdated too . You should upgrade to Firefox 3 and see if you still have the problem, or at least try it in Firefox 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I clicked the link, I read my post and your response to my wife and she said, "What is it... a link to the Apple Store?".

Albert Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yeah, something is wrong with the validating process. I need to look in the Invision bug tracker today to see if this is an existing issue, and if not, file some bugs (I've already filed a few for other issues). In the meantime, I am manually validating accounts. I confirmed that the registration problem is a known issue, with a severity of "High" so I think they'll fix it quickly. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked it a couple times and it crashed. As for why the old browser versions, I'm sure there will be people using those browsers when it goes live and it's better to find the bugs now. Isn't that why we are testing. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Invision is going to spend much time worrying about problems with old browsers. They've pretty much written off IE6 already, since that's basically ancient at this point. They are focusing on issues with modern browsers--if they have time they may work on larger issues with some older browsers. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not sure if this is a bug or just a configuration option. It looks like all the topics I have posted in have been automatically made watched. Consequently, I get an email every time someone posts in one of those topics. Very annoying. I think I have managed to turn them all off but it would probably be better to have them off by default. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hah, lazy devs. Not really lazy developers. This forum software is very complex and with the 3.0 version of the software they are taking advantage of features offered in modern browsers. Unfortunately this often comes at the expense of backwards compatibility with older browsers that don't support those features. Sure, you can put resources into trying to make problem areas degrade gracefully but it costs time and money to do so. Invision is one of the largest forum programs, along with vBulletin and phpBB3. It'll be interesting to see what happens if old browsers such as IE6 and Firefox 1.5 are simply not supported. I personally would be terrified to run IE6 with all the security problems it's had over the years. The only reason I can imagine someone not upgrading to IE7 or IE8 would be that they are running an old version of Windows (such as 2000) that does not support those browsers. In which case there's no excuse not to run the latest version of Firefox, or Safari, or Opera. Those should all run fine on a 2000 box (I use Firefox all the time on one). Invision made a conscious decision not to be hampered by people running old browsers when plenty of modern alternatives are available. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
