TB! 3.95.1 and Voyager 3.86.03 don't work under Win98SE
Hi all, yesterday I upgraded my girlfriend's TB!. She has an old notebook running Win98SE with a P2 processor at 233 MHz. TB! starts normally (the Christmas splash screen found her approval), but the main window insists on having the focus. It cannot be minimized nor can other windows like menus or a new message be used. They pop up and immediately lose the focus. I found no way around this apart from going back to 3.85.03. The next surprise came when I started my Voyager on her machine. I had found version 3.86.03 on Ritlabs' download page and installed it. It works well on my WinXP PC. Under Win98SE it showed exactly the same symptoms as 3.95.1, so I couldn't even complain about it until now, because I couldn't write a new message. It pops up, but the focus gets lost in a quarter of a second. Does anyone here use Win98SE and see the same? -- Cheers Peter The Bat! v3.95.1 on WinXP, SP2, 5, 1, build 2600, AMD Athlon 2200+ at 1794 MHz, 512 MB RAM Current beta is 3.86.11 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Voyager: Cookies don't work any more
Hi all, something has changed with Voyager's handling of %COOKIES. I used to refer to the cookies.txt file by the relative path and it worked. With the current version Voyager tells me, "Cannot open file "tbcookies.txt"". When I put the full path in the template, it works. But that's not an option! Voyager runs on different machines, so the drive letter assigned to the Voyager USB stick isn't predictable, and it differs depending on the respective computer. I cannot change my QT any time I use Voyager on another computer. Is there anything *I* can do to make Voyager understand the relative path again, or is it just a bug? -- Cheers Peter The Bat!
