Firefox not displaying threads correctly?

Firefox y' always get the drop down on any more than one tab. But if you have a LOT of tabs open , not just a few like the Churchillian gentleman, it hides them over a certain number and displays left and right scroll arrows to scroll across them

Java dunt do translating words into images. T'would save time on graphics designers if it did, but.

At any rate, I've had this when my connection has been flaky between here and the KB server in the US. Or when I get throttled down to 64kbps after hitting my quota. Firefox will timeout on getting the images and gives up. Unusual for it to be that consistent though.

Clear your cache and try again. Hit F5 for a proper reload. Or did you say you'd already done that?

See if you can view these manually.

Nothing I can interpret but thanks for the pointer.

Yes had it happen on slow connection but that's not the problem here. Tried F5 but no difference. Will empty cache - good idea.

Hmm......no. Get a blank page with a small book icon at the left top. Interesting.....

I notice when I click on Multiquote the button now appears. All a bit odd, doesn't happen on my other laptop.

By `book icon' do you actually mean the icons themselves for quick reply et al? Because that's what you'll get, a blank page with just the icon in the top left. He linked to the image files for the icons. If they're displaying on their own but aren't displaying in the main page then there's something odd afoot. It would seem like cache issues but who knows.

Yeah same issue here for me using Firefox. Have undated Java recently as well as FF.
Bit of a mystery. Cheers

Easiest if I show you:

KB button.doc

**xwhatsit** · 3rd April 2009, 21:59

That's the correct icon, Winston, it might just be from a different theme. Do you normally use Dark Universe? Try switching to Light Universe and see if you get the icons.

**Winston001** · 3rd April 2009, 22:25

Whooaaaa!

Looks weird, all blue and white, so this is what KB looks like for some...??

Wonder how many don't use the Dark Universe? Spankme - any idea?

Anyway, good call Xwhatsit, thanks. The buttons are back. However I also changed the interface settings down to standard which may also be the difference. Will now experiment. Cheers.

Firefox is a secret Russian thought controlled jet fighter....you're not supposed to be surfing the internet with it you silly boy!

Good man. well done, spotted the difference.

: In the Light Universe the buttons are fine. I experimented with all three edior choices and no problem. The buttons aren't the same as in the Dark or the Forum Default (which appears to be Dark) but that doesn't matter.

So it's something to do with how FF is rendering the page in the Dark Universe - but only on this pc. And it only happens in threads, not main forum pages. I can live with it easily enough, just puzzled.
