Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3 That is what I'm running. Try clearing your cache and seeing if that fixes the problem.

Warthogs Waste A Nice Pitching Performance by Lucas Harrel Press Release From Winston Salem Warthogs Winston-Salem, NC The cloudy skies and the Warthogs lead both dissipated as the day turned to night at Ernie Shore Field. A dreary afternoon with rain developed into a dry and delightful evening for baseball in Winston-Salem. The results for the Warthogs looked just as promising early, before a late-inning Wilmington rally gave the Blue Rocks a 4-2 victory in front of 4,943 fans. http://www.futuresox.com/frontpage/modules...article&sid=275

By the way, Alex, have you tried importing a skin lately? Just asking because I'm going to give it a shot in a few minutes. QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 9, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) It's not a big deal, because I can still edit the way we're all used to. However, quick edit's still not working on FireFox for me. I think that could be your browser not being completely updated. One thing you all should check out is the new easy ass way to edit topic titles and the 2nd line of topic titles. YOu cna pretty much just click and edit. Its freaking AWESOME.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 9, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) So that means we gotta stick with blue or am I missing something? For a few hr's, than we will have some temporary skins up, but we want to do things right and it may take a few days for us to make something completely custom and hopefully that skin will work well with both firefox and IE. In regards to the polls, you'll be happy to know that Polls do work with FireFox, however, old polls (pre upgrade) are the only ones that only work with IE. Also the QUICK EDIT Feature DOES WORK IN FIREFOX. If your are having trouble finding the quick edit feature, click on edit and than you should see the option come up. If not, make sure you are running an updated version of FireFox. The Poll upgrade didn't go smoothly and thats why people can't see the old polls. So take note that neither IE or Mozilla work with old polls. It looks more likely that Soxtalk will work pretty good whether you use Mozilla or IE.

Test

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 9, 2006 -> 08:54 PM) yep, everything is all centered and pretty now for me too. Are the old skins going to be available again? I used to have the silver and black one, but I really want the pink one. All the old skins won't work, but we will be building a custom banner that we hope will be much more comptabile with firefox. The banner is now working thanks to Heads getting to work on that. I'm working on finding a way to get the quick edit feature and the poll to start working with mozilla.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 9, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) Is search and thread viewers coming back??? I'm going to run a test later tonight, but my guess is that won't come back until we finalize the upgrade (the hardest part is out of the way though) by upgrading our mysql to version 4.x which will allow indexing.

That was a really impressive win.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 9, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Quick edit doesnt work for me on FireFox. I think we will notice thats a going trend and that although people will be able to enjoy Soxtalk using FireFox, they will be able to maximize that enjoyment (ie the features) using IE.

QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ May 9, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) Within Firefox the top banner overlaps the top header box. I can live with it though. Looks good at first glance. Ya, FireFox has trouble with the Polls and the Top Banner. I'm hoping I can fix the code on the top banner, but the Poll issue is probably something that will have to be resolved with FireFox or Invision. From what I can tell, the poll issue stems from a recent firefox upgrade and that older versions of firefox worked fine with the poll. I think I'm going to go back to IE when 7.0 final is released. QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 9, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) What is new? Maybe I am missing something. The window is different, and I like how it is set up, but it doesnt seem that much different from editing posts before. Quick edit, just lets you edit things immediately without having to open up a new window.

Ya, I just use New Topic or Fast Reply. However, I love the new way of editing posts.

The banner could have been me centering it. I just realized, the quick edit feature ROCKS.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 9, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Just out of curiousity, why doesn't Soxtalk move to VB? Is it a cost thing, or do you guys just like IPB more? Mainly we like IPB more and have had good luck with it. From what I've been told IPB takes a little less of a server load as well. Plus since I've paid for one (and its a lot more affordable) I figure no reason to pay for a different one.

Test Test I have now noticed a problem when you try and do add reply (instead of using fast reply). You don't get to see the post.

Nevermind, I Forgot that I was using an older skin.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 9, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) The banner is extremely fished up... On Ie, it works perfectly. Part of it just deals with the fact that Mozilla doesn't work well with the site for at least the temporary time being.

Ya, it seems like invision is built to work much better with IE. I'm looking to see if there is a fix for that, but not positive on that.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ May 9, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) Thanks for all of your hard work! Not a problem, hopefully I can get a few of these minor bugs cleared.

I have upgraded the forums and with that, everything has been upgraded. We are now running on the most up to date version of Invision and with that we have a lot more features on this forum (what they are I have no idea since this is the first I've been on it) and we also have the most up to date security settings. If anyone notices any problems, please inform me. I also want to re-iterate that we still have one more upgrade to do (upgrading our mysql to a more efficient form). One thing you will notice is that all posts will appear new, but I think thats about the only thing you'll notice. I for one am amazed that this appeared to work. I'm giving myself a few pats on the back for this. I ended up doing about 90% of it (instead of waiting on invision). I'll be working on prettying things up for the next day or so and than we'll probably take a week or so to get a custom skin up. Having a little trouble with a few things using mozilla, but hopefully I can fix that. The main problem is getting the graphic to show up properly on mozilla (the Javy header which I just pulled down for a sec). It shows up perfectly in IE.
