Doug,
thanks for your quick reply. But, when I scroll down in the Editor page there is No Attachments Editor. ( I have switched off the popp-up blocker ) jvandriel |

I don't know what to suggest other than what I've already said. Can you find other Invision 2.3 boards that have the same problem (or no problem at all) ?. Is there something unique to your config that a google-search finds? You can see that using the exact same version of Firefox, I'm getting fine results (I upgraded from 2.0.0.5 to .07 just to be sure we were on the same page)
Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-hang on a minute This is the News section - where only admins and mods can start threads or do attachments. Do you have problems in other sub-forums? I've flicked the switch on member attachments in this sub-forum as a double-check. Doug |

Doug,
thanks again. I have 2 computers, 1 running under Vista and the other one running under XP. The attachment editor in the Vista computer suddenly appeared ( I did check it before I send you the first E-mail) but on the XP computer I still do not get the attachment editor. For now I can live with it and, as you can see, I have already used it to edit my last post with the Spirit pano from Sol 1315. Thanks again for your help. jvandriel |

You should see if the problem occurs in different browsers - starting with both IE and Firefox on the same machine.
Check all of your security settings and make sure http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com is one of the trusted sites for everything (see my instructions earlier in this discussion) Note that pop-up blockers are often in place in BOTH your browser and your security routine like McAfee or Norton, so make sure BOTH are off if that's what you are testing for. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

I like the new font - but I'm in a big minority (none of the admins like it either ) I'll see what I can do by x-ref'ing the CSS's of the two and get the old font on the new theme. After a couple of days of getting used to the Pro skin, I definitely would not want to go back to Verdana. In fact, I like Arial so much that I've set my browser fonts to override (already have colors on override, so what the heck). So if the old font is applied to the new theme, I should still see Arial. -------------------- "I got a call from NASA Headquarters wanting a color picture of Venus.

Whereas Verdana has always been my font of choice, and I have truly enjoyed having it here. To me, Arial is ugly and hard to read.

Clicking on a thumbnail picture now opens the picture IN A FULL SCREEN sized browser window, bypassing my set default browser window size. Not to full screen, but to a full sized window. This is not the way to last board version behaved. If I want things open to full screen, I'll do it myself.
Anyone else find this as annoying as I do? |

Can't say I even noticed the difference - I usually open attachments in their own tabs anyway - and there's not a thing I can do about it even if I hated it There are things I can change - there are things I can't. That's in the can't category. If I had a PHP/SQL guru on the admin team ( and this isn't the first time I've asked for help in that regard) perhaps we could work something out.

Doug, looking back that sounds more harsh than it was meant. Particularly since I mostly lurk and am enriched by other's postings without really contributing anything myself.
I also usually open these pictures in a new tab (SeaMonkey) and that still works fine. But I thought I recalled them also opening in the default size even when opened in a new window. |

Whereas Verdana has always been my font of choice, and I have truly enjoyed having it here. To me, Arial is ugly and hard to read. Mine too, as far as non-serif fonts go. Arial smooshes words like filial, iliac, italic, subliminal, djellison, legibility, a little too much for my preference. Perhaps I need an environment with less glare, because my font preferences seem to follow what the US govt is trending towards in road sign fonts: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/12/magazine/12fonts-t.html Fascinating presentation, if you're curious about font legibility. Especially slide #8 in which they vary only the spacing of the font, and it shows why I dislike the smooshiness of Arial. |

Doug, don't know if the question was asked before, but on which hardware does the UMSF forum run?
