Odd firefox/IE7 issue


Tigrath

Recommended Posts

I haven't been to fallout nexus in months, so this new update was a supprise. Normally I use IE7 for this site because your last update left Firefox a functional but jumbled mess with all the content jammed onto the right half of the screen. Since IE worked and no one else seemed to have this problem, I simply used IE here. After your upgrade, none of the new buttons worked in firefox. To be specific, they worked the same as in IE7 when I tried it. Clicking on one of the buttons wouldn't do anything. Fiddling with NoScript and AdBlock and the rest didn't help. Upgrading firefox to 6.0 and 6.0.1 didn't help. However I did manage to get to work, by upgrading to IE8.

 

I needed to upgrade to IE8 to use Firefox on this site.

 

I needed.......to upgrade.........to IE8........to use Firefox........on this site? :wallbash: (yes, someone has done some poor coding)

:psyduck: I use Firefox 6 with no sign of the problem you have. I do not have ANY version of IE on my system.

 

IE7 is no longer supported as it is obsolete, and according to Microsoft is no longer secure.

 

Try testing with a portable version of whatever browser you prefer. It doesn't even have to be installed and will run from a USB stick

 

LHammonds tests for the New Nexus sites - if you don't read the entire thing please don't post that you cannot get a feature to work.

 

I performed this same test on August 24, 2011 as noted here --> Click me

 

Firefox is the Nexus-recommended browser (so says me). I initially could not get content loaded when going tab to tab such as the Files tab, images tab, etc. but I realized NoScript was blocking it so once I allowed all scripts to run, it worked fine after that.

 

Dark0ne tries to make the site work well with Firefox and Internet Explorer...anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.

 

I have tested the following browsers:

 

NOTE: The above "portable" browsers can be used by anyone. They do not require "installation" so there is zero impact on your computer...simply extract them, run the program to test it out, then delete once done. All tests were performed with the software as configured straight "out-of-the-box" without any tweaks or changes.

 

Check List Tests:

 

  • Can login and remain logged in from page to page (while browsing and downloading)
  • Can see mod page description, files, comments and images.
  • Can download mods over 2MB in size.
  • Can create mod page (modder action)
  • Can set and remove search tags.
  • Can upload files to mod page (modder action).
  • Can upload images to mod page.
  • Can add comments on mod page.
  • Can upload images to imageshare (modder action).
  • Can add comments on imageshare.

Side note: Holy-moly Batman! The staff "delete file" option is an instant delete link that asks for no verification. Scary indeed. Please add a confirmation for deletion since it is very possible we might be thinking "delete file" as in an individual file...not "delete mod page and all content"

Based on the above test results, all major site functions I have tested have been addressed and fixed by Dark0ne.
