Upgrade 2012 - Problems & Help

[Humphrey9999]

Still looking into it.

Thanks . I still haven't found where Firefox stores bookmarks to do it manually.

MulgaBill - I used the method you pointed to, but it has the problem described earlier.

I haven't heard others mention this problem yet, but I do have more nested sub-folders in IE8 Favorites than most, to cover my various hobbies. This must be the reason Firefox couldn't import everything - probably only looks at sub-folders one or two levels deep.

After a bit more playing around, I found a method of copying all Favorites from IE8 to Firefox 16.0.1, including multiple nested levels of sub-folders.

The idea is to export the Favorites from IE8 to a HTML file then import that file into Firefox as Bookmarks. Forget their wizard, it's broken.
Note that for Firefox to 'see' it, it must be a .html' file, not '.htm'.

Method: -
First export the IE8 Favorites to a HTML file as follows: -
>File
>Import and Export
Check 'Export to a file', click [Next]
Check 'Favorites', or select folder, then click [Next]
Select a location to save the file and, importantly, change the filename extension of the saved file from '.htm' to '.html'. (Otherwise Firefox won't find it.)
Click [Export].


Next, in Firefox: -
>Bookmarks
>Show All Bookmarks (opens 'Library' window)
>Import and Backup
>Import Bookmarks from HTML
Browse to the HTML file and click [Open]
Close the 'Library' window.

All done.

None of the uTube links posted prior the the upgrade appear to be working now. Is there an easy fix for this, or do the links have to be individually re-posted or edited so that they work?

Description of the problem and other relevant information. I'm not sure if this problem is due to your upgrade or something I did wrong, but I cant see my thread or reply to it (https://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/ha...oor-ok-160860/)

Sorry to side track the thread

But I now can use....

paragraphs!!!!!!!!!! Just the way I could before the "New" system. I can even now use smiley faces.

The only thing lacking seems to be the front page of threads that has a header full of notebook commands instead of the proper Forum header/directory.

Not whinging. Just reporting. If anyone was wondering

I'm still having problems with marking the forums as read: When I click on Forum Actions > Mark Forums Read, the following message pops up...

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid."

I'm running Firefox 16.0.1 on Windows 7 Professional.

Neil was looking at this apparently known issue but I think he may have hit a wall (or was busy with a show or something).

Any chance of a screenshot? I can't imagine what is happening

When I use to Admin a vBulletin forum we had this problem a few years ago, I only just joined this forum so I don't really have any idea what is going on. It seems like the Admins are upgrading the forums, for us it was a problem with the code which handled the session key its a fairly older problem but I guess it's still persistent. I'm sure the Admin's will be taking care of it.

You're correct, I was just reading that on the vBulletin forum, something to do with a >/ needed in a bit of code somewhere. FF users were the only ones affected from what I read but the problem was with much earlier versions of FF.

The whole new forum seems to have stteled dow nicely (with isolated problems I guess), so "good job" to the team under trying circumstances.

Quite a while ago I posted in here that the refresh time was crazy, but nobody seemed to address that (or concur for that matter). I'm still finding that a refresh takes ages, and sucks the hell out of this end. "Mark Forums Read" is the biggest guts, and i can 100% look forward to it doing any of the following, almost every time:
preventing typing in an email (or post)
scrolling a window down
Changing tabs or other windows

This only happens with the forum. ABC News, Gmail etc all refresh/load etc in perhaps half to one second, and the forum is usually close to 30 seconds or more, and rarely less than 3-4 seconds

Cheers
FF (the current, and best version)
