Question

How about more than 12 months?

There is a lot of great technical information in this forum--I refer to it frequently. Only migrating one year of it is not enough, I think. Why can't all of it be migrated?

Cheers!

    I've got older versions of a lot of things, I've also got newer versions. Part of the reason is that I want to see things as an average user might, but in this case, and in that browser, I use a plug-in to Firefox for some of my other volunteer work, and that plug in hasn't been stabilized to work in ver 3. So I've avoided upgrading on that computer, and probably will until they tell us the plug-in is ready.

    Unless JC can upgrade your browser for you, DK, you're stuck.

    DorothyK, you may have to change the screen resolution. On the LCD display I am running here at 1280 X 1040, the view only takes about 5/8ths of the screen width. It just about fills my notebook at 1040 X 768. On my 24" desktop monitor at work, the forum only takes about 1/2 the screen. Thus it appears to be a fixed width display. For a fixed with, changing the resolution will do the job. In fact, looking at the source the width seems to be that of a table at "width=680". That is consistent with the screen resolution I have on this system.

    It may be that making the width floating may not be that easy (depends on the software that generates the forum - one of the issues of changing!).

    3.0.6 actually.

    Well, Dorothy...

    The upgrade to Firefox 3.x (I think it's at 3.0.4 right now) is strongly recommended, for security reasons and because it's generally faster and more accurate at rendering pages as the W3C recommends.

    Plus, those long URLs won't stretch the forums like Marlon Brando in a unitard!
