You could try Mozilla Firefox? I'm using it and have not had any problems from this site. That microsoft internet explorer is nuttin but trouble. A disaster running on borrowed time.

Thanks guys, but this is a company computer, and they won't even let me uninstall that yahoo garbage anymore. I've never been big on putting foreign software on somebody else's computer, but even so considering the leech that this yahoo is it would probably attach to any other browser too. I'm convinced now, though, that it's not the browser or the yahoo, although the yahoo has other tendencies quite annoying, because I was clicking away at jpg's on other websites for a good deal of yesterday without a single problem. It's just some of this forum's attachments so far.

Thumbnails save bandwith, and bandwith is money. Support the site, use thumbnails and stop complaining about attachments.

And yes, use Firefox. Or Opera. Or whatever. If you use IE, don't complain about troubles : you should be used to it by now.

edit : mispelling corrected.

Believe me, I think if everybody using IE were having the problems with "this forum" on the attachments as I'm having, the solution is not to have people to jump onto another browser. In my prior response here I explained my reasoning and I'm still not sure exactly what's causing this. My normal routine would be to unistall the yahoo garbage first, but I can no longer do that.

At home, I have firefox, and I don't see anything so hot about it. From what I understand, IE is fixing to go to the tabbing, but I'm not so hot about that anyway, but that would be the only reason I'd use firefox more than just giving it the cursory use I made of it.

If it's in a network, then it could be all sorts of things from a firewall or security suite setting to a software tweak by whoever does the it maintenence. Not much can be done about it. Unless you do the it work.

I have found that my computer has had much fewer "parasites" getting in since I switched. The spyware and browser hijackers and all the other nasty and annoying creatures don't visit as often and I don't need to spend nearly the same amount of time I had to before finding the little suckers and booting them out the door. Firefox is more secure than ie and the nasties concentrate more on breaking into ie.

So far, the only real disadvantage I've found is in downloading and saving articles and pictures. Firefox has a "download manager" that doesn't work very well and causes downloading to take longer due to a delay after the download finishes of 5-10 seconds.

well, it´s not screenshot but anyway:

The Chuck Norris military unit was not used in the game Civilization 4, because a single Chuck Norris could defeat the entire combined nations of the world in one turn.

Security : Firefox is compartimented when IE is melted in the OS. Therefore, an IE exploit (and there are tons of these) endangers your whole system while a Firefox exploit (and there are none of these unpatched) is harmless much of the time.

Besides : tabbed browsing, respect of the web standards, lot of extensions, usability, fiability, etc.

This is from a game I'm playing while at work right now, as you can see, the Aztecs discovered a bunch of invisible horses!!

 

[DrewBledsoe]

Invisible horses? Spooky (think we should reopen those files again Scully)?

You havent discovered Animal Husbandry. Your people are deliberately not noticing the big hairy things, because they dont understand them.

If you notice though, even your people cant ignore the four huge piles of manure.

You apparently do possess the manure-husbandry tech.

I do have Animal Husbandry, How else would I be able to build the pasture improvement then??

One thing I don't understand about the change vis a vis horses in 1.52 - you should be able to always SEE the horses, even if you can't USE them yet!!

 

[Depravo]

But if you can see them, your 21st century foresight will give them a significance they shouldn't have. To your primitive civilisation, they're large, wild, four-legged hairy mammals with no practical use. Nothing to site a city around.

This is more shocking than funny and I had to shrink the pic but... one super long river coming up!

In that respect, then cows, pigs and sheep should be the same way, right?

"They're hairy and smelly! And those smaller pinkish ones roll around in mud!!"

Actually, I agree. If they did what they did with horses, then they should have done it with cows, pigs and sheep.

And Corn, Wheat and Rice should be invisible until you discover Agriculture.

Fish, Clams and Crabs (and especially whale) should be invisible until you discover fishing.

Stone and Marble should be invisible until you discover Quarrying.

etc etc etc.

Of course, that might make the opening start a bit bleak to look out on, no resources visible from start.....

 

[BirraImperial]

The picture I took earlier showed only the shadows of the horses, but other horses and pigs can be seen. So it's not that i don't have animal husbandry, it's just that there is a graphical glitch in the game, probably because of that damm Intel G82485G chipset

 

[BirraImperial]

Also check this screen shot from Alexander, weird eyes huh?

Looks photoshopped.. Either that or it's a graphical glitch from something you downloaded.
