Firefox and vbulletin: Problems and solutions

sra Posts: 4,676 Forumite

26 January 2005 at 6:33AM in Site feedback and Forum Help

Hi everyone

Yesterday I found the first bug with using firefox and the new software. But rather than just point out the problem I had, I thought I'd make a thread where people could post bugs and fixes then hopefully we could keep them all together - if you want to

Problem
There is no paste option in the right-click menu when using the Enahnced Interface

Solution

Ctrl+V still works fine
Edit / Paste from the top menus also works

I agree, where is the paste option?

The smilies do work with Firefox though. I found with yabb they were always put at the bottom of the text and I had to copy/paste them to where I wanted them.

Here's something that isn't a problem - just a suggestion. I'll put it here trusting firefoxers 'll come here.

this is the url for the buddylist:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/misc.html?do=buddylist&focus=1

if you bookmark it then right-click the bookmark to get 'properties', you can click the 'Load this bookmark in the Sidebar' option.

From now on when you're surfing other sites, you can click this bookmark, and see if your friends are online in the sidebar:)

Problem - There is no paste option in the right-click menu when using the Enahnced Interface (or is that just me?)

Solution - Ctrl+V still works fine (should have been the first thing I checked but I ended up websearching - doh!)

Do you know I thought it was just me! And no need to doh! - I've been going to the Edit menu to find my Paste option ...

BTW, congratulations on an excellent description of how to do the clever stuff on the new software. I confess I haven't read it all yet, but having been pointed to it I'm finding it jolly useful!

Signature removed for peace of mind
