Firefox mobile user. When I try to leave the site, instead of letting me leave it opens up a new tab and keeps the tab on IE open. If I'm frequently leaving and returning to catch replies this can lead to lots of tabs being open and battery draining my phone.

This has been going on for awhile and I had always thought it was 24/7s fault because I often switch back and forth between the two sites to catch up on nd news, and 24/7's site does a lot of stupid things to drive clicks. I know the II guys are powerless to change stuff like that so I tried to ignore it. I paid close attention this morning and realized it's this site, and only this site, that does this.

I have similar issues with Firefox mobile, but AFAICT, it's not IE related. Firefox always wants to open a new tab, so if you utilize one of the shortcuts they offer to navigate to another frequently used website, you're getting it in a new tab instead of having it utilize the one you're in. The only way to get it to stay within the same tab is to click on the address bar and type in a new site.

Weird, mine only does it on IE. I'll dig into the settings and see if there's something specific to IE on my end

I'm stared to get frustrated, Netscape hasn't released any updates for about 20 years. I'm having trouble downloading my Cpt. Janeway jpegs.

This is weird. Is Firefox not a thing? I'm 31 and most of my friends use firefox or chrome. Chrome eats RAM so I avoid it. What do you guys all use?

Not sure if something needs to be already in place on the site side but being able to embed this On3 Industry Comparison would be a nice trick.

It's still used a lot. I can't speak for today's version, but in the past people preferred Firefox because its built in security wasn't as restrictive as IE. Chrome doesn't use as much memory as it used to, but you can cut the memory just by closing tabs. or removing extensions. Safari uses more memory that the others. Given today's PC's, tablets, etc., memory shouldn't be an issue. If you're running 4GB or less, buy some memory. It's cheap. Remember that slowness may not be due to your browser. Malware can slow things as can a VPN connection as it adds on the security layer. Netscape Navigator fired up through an AOL session. BOOM!

This is a good place to buy memory. It can tell you how much your have and how much you can add, along with the correct chipset.

Is anyone having side loading issues? It's been persistent for me for about a week. I typically use Chrome but tried IE since it wasn't working. Today it appears better, although this morning I had the same issues. This is on desktop FYI, but also experienced it on my mobile over the weekend.

Has this improved at all or are you still experiencing issues?

Is there a way to make hyperlinks more distinguishable from regular text? I noticed yesterday when @Whiskeyjack shared a link through the word "Here's" that it was a very similar color to the black text accompanying the rest of his post.

Yep I can do that, any suggestions? Underline? Bold? Different color?

Eh on second thought, that's a lot of green on the Front Page. Might go back and make it just bold for now. We'll see what kind of comments I get over the next few hours. :ROFLMAO:
