Go to Jive's own forum. What do you like and dislike?

I guess these are a list of features the folks have to decipher and figure out on what they want. This is an example of those features...

so realize all, that there are a lot of issues and items to look at.

Plonkable, Kath.

Don't forget that.

Inches????? Why not rods poles and perches? ;)

No to have it span the width , people would lose interest in reading.

you want it no more that the width of 8.5 width sheet of typing paper with 1/4 inch margin at tops 7.5-8 inches wide.

There's a huge amount of wasted space between topics. Having people's pictures at the side is unnecessary and causes some of the wasted space. Going into a topic... why the skinny width allowed for messages? Allow the messages to run the full width of the page or again it's wasting a whole lot of space down the right side (I guess they thought breaking it into a smaller column would be better). I'd rather have the page readable across the full width because it means less scrolling down the page. If I wanted skinny columns, I'd just resize my browser window.

Jive has a preference for the indented "shrinking boxes" (use flat not threaded). There does not appear to be a preference for the print preview (which gets rid of the right column). The shrinking boxes plus empty right column sure makes me twitch!

The roll-over popups are not bad - they only load if you invoke them (they are not preloaded). Just don't roll over the avatar; you won't get them.

I got 3 seconds from an email link to this adobe forum thread. 14 seconds for the Jive page to open (from the link in post 18), and 4 seconds for a thread there to load. That site did not seem slow. But such tests are way to limited to mean much.

Thank you, Phos. I have tried it earlier in FF, and it gave me one of the other options every time regardless, so I had to redo a number of saves.

If I understand what you're saying, Jacob, Firefox 3 has the option of saving a page, complete, but I don't think you can set that as the default saving method: <br /> <br /> <b>(Addendum/Clarification: Firefox's "Save As..." option defaults to what you used the last time you saved something. So, "Save As..." a complete web page one time, and each subsequent mashing of the Command + S shortcut that will be the option that shows in the drop-down menu.)</b> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=13tlvWRzP2ej9XZh6mgiZ7VfR1XKNq" /></a> <img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/13tlvWRzP2ej9XZh6mgiZ7VfR1XKNq_thumb.png" border="0" />

Phos,

Does any post coal fired secure future browser offer saving complete web pages as default?

Plus, there's a 3.0 version of Clearspace coming out in a month or two.

What fresh hell will that conjure up?
