NetSurf in the Press

Errors in Documentation
Hi All, There seem to be a number of these, the most irritating (to me at least) is that the main link from the help of a running NetSurf to the development builds is broken. I would rather that the developers spent their time on coding, not fixing issues like this, so I don't think the bug tracker is the place to go, but I can't see any obvious way for someone who has time on their hands to contribute by actually fixing the docs. -- Regards, Dave Lawton HTML emails are just a security risk, and nobody needs that.

I'm seeing something similar (on 2.7), in that when I'm logged in to my Orpheus webmail, if the session times out, then I can't login again, I'm just taken back to the login page, with the message 'Your session has timed out'. Deleting the cookies (is the 'Are you sure' second delete an accident, or intentional ?), and closing the window is not enough to restore access, only quitting NetSurf completely will restore access.

You and the other guys have done, and do, such sterling work, that I can't praise you highly enough. I remember back to all the negative stuff at the beginning, like how it wasn't possible for anyone to create a browser from scratch. I've removed 2.1 and installed 2.0, this ran for several pages more, before falling in a heap. The logs for 2.1 and 2.0 all have this same line near the end : Fatal signal received: Floating point exception I've pasted the last few lines from each of the logs on to the bug tracker, in case they are meaningful. -- Regards from Dave Lawton
