IE9 and XP

[Desertfox]

The issue is that it does not occur frequently but when it happens then it is always in connection with displaying pictures. It could well be that it has something to do with the provider of my radio signal (live in a rural area). With pictures I mean a sequence of pictures, i.e. 12 pictures go perfectly, and the 13th will not come up. Restarting the sequence will correct this. It is not a major issue for me but a bit annoying. Have now FF 3.6.2 installed.

Opera's had that for years.

Seriously, though.....as much as people are used to XP you can only do so much on the basic platform before its architectural limitations become too expensive to modify.

That's what makes Firefox so great, which IE will never be. It's open-source, can be tweaked in 100,000 ways. If you've ever been to mozilazine.org you can see all the variations, even writing your own code to tweak preferences. I have my own theme, my own set of buttons on the top, 30 add-ons, colors that give me better contrast, etc. I've also done away with the invasive plugins and found other substitutes. .

It makes me smile sometimes, to hear WinXP described in such loving terms, when I think back to how XP used to get slagged off in the early days.

It WAS very buggy at the beginning.

-It has 9 years of patches in it now, so why should I start with another system that will need years of patches again?

-It does everything I need, with plenty of room for learning more

-It's relatively stable if you're computer literate

-I'm accustomed to its quirks, interface and troubleshooting procedures (mostly).

-It's compatible with all my hardware, even on my old PIII backup computer.

One of the other forums calls it "The OS that would not die." LOL. We'll all switch to Win 7 eventually, but right now I have no need for it.

Attached is my Firefox interface.

Even though everyone now knows what Ms is doing, here is an article (link to one)

Sorry guys, I haven't used the wrapping tool for quite a while. Here is the link I put in previous message. I should have known better!

I still have a problem inserting a link. I knew it for a while but have totally forgotten how to do it. Sorry again.

Just copy the link from the address bar and paste it into the post. VBulletin will do the rest. You can put it between tags if you want, but it isn't necessary.

Example (miss out the spaces):

[u r l]www.mysite.xyz[/url] (gives a straightforward link)

[u r l=www.mysite.xyz]My Site[/url] (gives a link that says "My Site")

I hope it works now and thanks SuperSparks. I had it almost correct when I tried it.

I put it in between tags to be on the sure side.
