My computer froze every time as soon as Hermes was started (which is configured to check for new mail, immediately after a fresh start). It took me quite some mouse and keyboard acrobatics in order to shut it down in time. Kind regards, Paul Sprangers -- http://www.riscos.sprie.nl

We seem to have got the old "Netsurf is running out of memory" bug back again. I have 71MB of free memory. This is occurring in cPanel when I select a folder to password-protect. The problem is repeatable. The 23rd March build is fine. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

Tried the second Sept 30th release and seems ok - RiscPC, StrongArm, RO4·02, 130Mb memory. Subjective observation says very fast, especially with Images.

I have a problem. I added the index of development releases to the hotlist, but now when I click on the entry it does nothing. It seems that NetSurf can't bookmark a directory index. I'll find the link as the original post won't have expired yet. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

I have had no crashes but there is a silly with Flickr which doesn't produce the individual images - although it does show the images on the index page. With the March version I could see the pictures but there was a message telling me to use Javascript for the best results. This message has now disappeared, but I'd rather have the pictures. The readme file needs replacing, as it applies to the older system and tells you how to install the boot and system files which are not supplied with the new version. -- David Wild using RISC OS on broadband www.davidhwild.me.uk

Yes, I've noticed the same thing. Another curious thing happened. I have some forms on my local home page for Google, Wikipedia, eBay, etc. They all have text input fields which are the same length. I'd left out the "type=text" on one form but previously it made no difference so I hadn't noticed the error. With the new version that particular field came out half the width of the others. I've now corrected the page. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
