+scole Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) I love the new site design the updates allow for an easier interface to use and faster loadtimes overall for those of us on dial up. However despite the fact that this is useful it only works right in IE! (Internet Explorer) A few other IE derivitives will work as well ex. AOL Explorer, Avant, and others. What I found the first time I got onto Geocaching on IE was that this is great, until I opened in Firefox. None of the images on the new navigation menus will work at all in Firefox. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you go to view someone's profile, I don't know it would just be nice to have the experience of enjoying this new look in Firefox. What do you think????

ju66l3r Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I think you need to update your verson of Firefox. Firefox 1.0 through 1.0.7 would give you the reminder to update when a new Firefox version was release, but 1.0.7 stopped doing that. Since then, Firefox 1.5 has been released and fixes a number of bugs in Firefox that prevent the correct rendering of the latest CSS (cascading style sheet) formatting. This is why your profile pages do not look right. Update your Firefox ( http://www.getfirefox.com ) and all will be right again. Just install it on top of the old version and you'll keep all of your customizations but benefit from all of the bug fixes between 1.0.7 and 1.5. Link to comment
+Miragee Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The new site works just fine with my Opera browser. Link to comment
Pto Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If you run GreaseMonkey- you may also need to update that- Link to comment
+Celticwulf Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 and if it still doesn't look right...hold down the "shift" key while you hit the refresh button...that seems to clear things up and show the new stuff. Celticwulf Link to comment
+Baptist Deacon Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Can someone help an old man out. I can't see any tabs that people are talking about. I have firefox 1.5, I have hit the shift key while refreshing, but till nothing. Where are these darned tabs supposed to be. By the way, the new java hint decrypt works great. But I can't find no tabs........ Link to comment
+Miragee Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If you click on the picture on your stats page that goes to your stats as others see them, there are tabs at the top of that page for Geocaches, Trackables, etc. Link to comment
+Baptist Deacon Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) so what am I doing wrong if I don't see any tabs.... Quick View | Watchlist | Geocaches (Mine) | Travel Bugs (Mine) | Benchmarks | Member Features Just the words is all I see.... Figures, I broke it already...... *****UPDATE******* I can see it on other peoples stats page, but not mine. Is that the way it is supposed to be???

+the hermit crabs Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 so what am I doing wrong if I don't see any tabs.... Quick View | Watchlist | Geocaches (Mine) | Travel Bugs (Mine) | Benchmarks | Member Features Those links are supposed to be just words, not tabs. They're what you see on your "My Account Page". The tabs are on your profile page. (Click the "View my profile" link from your "My Account" Page. Then you should see tabs for Profile, Geocaches, Trackables, and Gallery. Link to comment
+Deliveryguy428 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 So if I update firefox then I will be able to read the links again on the profiles at the top? Link to comment
+Mustard Devil Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I use Firefox and having no problems at all:) Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 So if I update firefox then I will be able to read the links again on the profiles at the top? Yep, I had problems and just upgraded and everything is working fine now. Link to comment
ju66l3r Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 So if I update firefox then I will be able to read the links again on the profiles at the top? Yes, on Windows and Linux, updating Firefox to 1.5 from 1.0.7 (you can see your version by opening the Help menu and selecting "About (Mozilla) Firefox") will move the tabs down from behind the text appropriately.

+Quiggle Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 This is more of a website thread than a geocaching thread so I'm going to point you to the current discussion on the new website updates which address these issues: Few New Changes Closing duplicate. Link to comment
