Re: NetSurf and Flash
What, please, is the current status of Flash working with NetSurf? The current state is that it will not work (we long ago disabled plugin support), and that we're never likely to have it. This isn't so much of a problem because Flash is slowly dying off anyway (much like Java). I see. Perhaps I have misunderstood how animation rendering is performed. I thought Flash was used on the dark side for animation rendering, eg http://www.jacquielawson.com/ various examples. Are you saying that just ain't possible on the RISC OS platform, please?

Re: avaaz.org problem
When sending a petition to avaaz.org http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_frankenfish_r/?blOZUcbv=21102 NetSurf goes into a loop. alt-break froze the machine necessitating snip I just tried signing another at... http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Investigate_landgrabbers_in_Cambodia_and_remove_their_trade_privileges/?blWdqbbv=20972; re cambodian farmers just got an endless revolving circle gave up after a while. So my previous success was premature, it seems. Oh chagrine Well, something odd seems to be happening. I tried that URL which went into a loop for a while and came out at, http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Investigate_landgrabbers_in_Cambodia_and_remove_their_trade_privileges/ Same here. Perhaps it's something at hteir end, not a Netsurf problem. Thanks. Probably. As I recall, it didn't work that way previously.
Clipboard not working #824
There appears to be a problem with the clipboard in 3.0 #824. Within a NetSurf window ctrl-c and ctrl-v work as normal but anything put on the clipboard from outside the NS window does not get inserted into writable icons using ctrl-v. The Clipboard works properly in 2.9 john -- John Rickman - http://mug.riscos.org/ Encouraged by superficial notions of evolution, Which becomes, in the popular mind, a means of disowning the past.

Thanks Steve - I have just subscribed to the Dev list - it should prevent me wasting developer time replying to queries on this list that are already covered. However, I have just downloaded the postings for Jan 2013 but cannot read them. They are in an archive file - called 2013-January/txt/gz My copy of SparkFS wont unpack it and my copy of SparkPlug claims to be SparkFS when it is run. Any ideas? -- John Rickman - http://mug.riscos.org/ You are not the same people who left that station Or who will arrive at any terminus

Iyonix/ARMini cookie behaviour inconsistency
In the case of the mysterious 'round in circles' bug 3324329 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3324329group_id=51719atid=464312 where it is only possible to log in to this website by first deleting all site-related cookies (having first refreshed them by actually displaying the log-in page - you can't save time by deleting them in advance!), I have now come across an even weirder permutation. Using dev 825 (with JavaScript included but configured *off) it is now possible to log in to http://www.ravelry.com running Netsurf on the ARMini but not on the Iyonix, where the cookie-deletion workaround is still required. I recorded (and have uploaded) logs of the same sequence of actions on both computers, but can't detect any immediately obvious significant differences (save that the *successful* run contains the line (0.68) content/urldb.c urldb_load_cookies 3682: Overran input ...!) -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == At the cutting edge of technology, one tends to end up bleeding
