This was a thread to test if I could read/reply to things, and helped me figure out the browser thing.
<-- is on Firefox 51.0
problems I have;
unrelated to the browser:
1: I have a massive firewall with neat rules for various spyware vendors to block outgoing connections to them. One such vendor is cloudflare on which rebirth is hosted, so I've sepaarated out rebirth by IP addresses into it's own rule, however forum Icons do not load unless I unblock cloudflare entirely as cloudflare dynamically assigns a random IP in their ranges for the images.
fix: if I want to see the icons that badly I'll unblock cloudflare temporarily by toggling the firewall rule off.
Issues Related to the browser;
1: some buttons on the forum do not work, or only work once per page load. such as the "Quick Edit" button.
fix: try to make sure I typed everything correctly before I hit save. Or, reload the page. Or use More>Modify.
why 51.0? you can tell it to not update and it listens, and; flashplayer. I really think the decision on whether we can use flashplayer in our browser should be upto the user. not some mandate from browser devs wanting to recreate the internet in their image - for profit reasons.
51.0 isn't like new FF, new FF has essentially been taken over by google. mozilla's website is hosted on google, and their updater connects through google. so. we know whos pulling the strings. They play'in monopoly or what?
I've considered palemoon. perhaps I will use it eventually. as far as I know they are a modern browser which still supports flashplayer. and from what I've read unlike all the other googled browsers which are killing support for win7 users (with a built-in brick so their browser will not install on win7 even though it could if they didn't brick it, so it's intentional update-march pushing which seems very fishy.) Palemoon still supports win7 last I checked.
anyways. glad you got it figured out on your end. I do wish the new forum had a spoiler tag though. I use <details> and <summary> tags on my website for spoilers. <details></details> is the actual spoiler wrapper, where inserting a <summary> tag into a next level tab bend allows you to give the spoiler a title</summary>.
<details>
<summary>spoiler name</summary>
content in your spoiler.
</details>
it's that simple.
