| software update |

Poster: Colin - Date: 31.10.2006, 11:19 |
Just installed new software on the site and I am aware of a few bugs which are being sorted out now. If you notice anything which isn't working how it should please don't email me to tell me post in the "Site Feedback" section.
Thanks
The site updates are mainly to the admin section which include many new features to stop hackers & spammers from attacking the site. They are essential updates, as with any update there will probably be a few bugs over the next couple of days. If you post them in site feedback they will get sorted out quicker than me reading a load of individual emails all about the same problem. |

Subject: Royal Mail Scam
It has been confirmed by Royal Mail.
The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:-
A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel
Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and
that you need to contact them on 0306 6611911 (a premium rate number).
DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scan originating from Belize.
If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will
already have been billed £15 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details then please contact Royal Mail

| Spell Checker In Firefox 2! |
|
Poster: Colin - Date: 19.10.2006, 12:37 |
Just been trying the new version of Firefox 2 Release Candidate 3 (RC 3) & its got a spell checker built into the browser which comes up in the posting boxes on this forum. It's just a release candidate remember so it may have the odd bug in it but I've been using it now for a while and it seems very stable. You can download it here http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/ it's got a lot better security than Microsoft Internet Explorer too which is another good reason to use it. These are the changes in the new browser over the last version. . .
*Visual Refresh: Firefox 2's theme and user interface have been updated to improve usability without altering the familiarity of the browsing experience. For instance, toolbar buttons now glow when you hover over them. We will continue to improve the look and feel throughout the release candidate process.
*Built-in phishing protection: Phishing Protection warns users when they encounter suspected Web forgeries, and offers to return the user to their home page. Phishing Protection is turned on by default, and works by checking sites against either a local or online list of known phishing sites. This list is automatically downloaded and regularly updated when the Phishing Protection feature is enabled.
*Enhanced search capabilities: Search term suggestions will now appear as users type in the integrated search box when using the Google, Yahoo! or Answers.com search engines. A new search engine manager makes it easier to add, remove and re-order search engines, and users will be alerted when Firefox encounters a website that offers new search engines that the user may wish to install.
*Improved tabbed browsing: By default, Firefox will open links in new tabs instead of new windows, and each tab will now have a close tab button. Power users who open more tabs than can fit in a single window will see arrows on the left and right side of the tab strip that let them scroll back and forth between their tabs. The History menu will keep a list of recently closed tabs, and a shortcut lets users quickly re-open an accidentally closed tab.
*Resuming your browsing session: The Session Restore feature restores windows, tabs, text typed in forms, and in-progress downloads from the last user session. It will be activated automatically when installing an application update or extension, and users will be asked if they want to resume their previous session after a system crash.
*Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds: Users can decide how to handle Web feeds (like this one), either subscribing to them via a Web service or in a standalone RSS reader, or adding them as Live Bookmarks. My Yahoo!, Bloglines and Google Reader come pre-loaded as Web service options, but users can add any Web service that handles RSS feeds.
*Inline spell checking: A new built-in spell checker enables users to quickly check the spelling of text entered into Web forms (like this one) without having to use a separate application.
*Live Titles: When a website offers a microsummary (a regularly updated summary of the most important information on a Web page), users can create a bookmark with a "Live Title". Compact enough to fit in the space available to a bookmark label, they provide more useful information about pages than static page titles, and are regularly updated with the latest information. There are several websites that can be bookmarked with Live Titles, and even more add-ons to generate Live Titles for other popular websites.
*Improved Add-ons manager: The new Add-ons manager improves the user interface for managing extensions and themes, combining them both in a single tool.
*JavaScript 1.7: JavaScript 1.7 is a language update introducing several new features such as generators, iterators, array comprehensions, let expressions, and destructuring assignments. It also includes all the features of JavaScript 1.6.
*Extended search plugin format: The Firefox search engine format now supports search engine plugins written in Sherlock and OpenSearch formats and allows search engines to provide search term suggestions.
*Updates to the extension system: The extension system has been updated to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions.
*Client-side session and persistent storage: New support for storing structured data on the client side, to enable better handling of online transactions and improved performance when dealing with large amounts of data, such as documents and mailboxes. This is based on the WHATWG specification for client-side session and persistent storage.
*SVG text: Support for the svg:textpath specification enables SVG text to follow a curve or shape.
*New Windows installer: Based on Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, the new Windows installer resolves many long-standing issues. |
