Possible forum posting issue with Firefox 7.0.1
« on: 2011 December 27 19:36:19 »
Have tried 3 times to make a post about FFT that I finally posted using internet explorer fine the first time.
I wonder if there is an issue with use of FireFox 7.0.1 to post a forum note with a jpeg image.

Symptom:   I hit 'post' then no action seem to happen and a later check of forum in different browser shows no post.
It is like it ignored the 'Post' key OR has some fault but it was not obvious what that fault was.

One thing that may be involved is my first attempt at the post ended in a 'attachment too big'  error.  So maybe after that error even though I halfed my image and saved to a different name for upload there may be some issue on later post if first post was too big.

Anyway, I am ok and used internet explorer but something may be up with this.
Thanks and you guys ROCK!   I love this software!  PixInsight forever ... and so on ...    8)

Have done update to a forum using Firefox 7.0.1 so I feel my 'real' issue may have been trying to post a jpeg that was too big first led to inability to post a smaller on on the same entry for 2 attempts till I moved to different browser  (Internet Explorer 8).

I feel this is very low priority issue by the way.  I am not blocked.  Thanks

Dont know about firefox 7. But how about updating to the most recent version (currently 9.0.1) http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html ? I am writing this post with this version.
