You can see what rev it's up to from the entries under Recent SVN Activity further down the page: as I write this, the latest entry there is still r12243. However, as Richard says, later builds (ie ones with higher 'r' numbers) will still contain the same changes unless one of the developers specifically undoes them again for some reason. And the last sentence confirms the problem. There is no means of actually downloading any specific revision number and instructions to do so are plain misleading. Or do I have this wrong? Why would you want to download r12243 specifically? You were advised to try r12243: that version or any later one will do[1]. In effect, being told to try rX means -- to all intents and purposes -- download a new test build and try it. 1. The only time it doesn't is if the change in question has subsequently been undone. As Rob says: a) this isn't common, and b) if the change in question has been reverted, you probably didn't want to test it anyway. I only mentioned that to stop the pedants biting, but it seems to have failed... Sometimes something stops working, as I keep a selection of previous revisions I can get some idea of when this happened to try and find the cause. If other revisions were still available it might be possible to locate the change that was the cause, or at least in which revision it occured. We are constantly warned that dev builds may be unstable, so, as I access the internet on a friends computer I always leave it to auto load the latest stable version and change to the latest dev build if I have problems with a site. -- Erving

Perhaps next time he needs to add JPG to his dictionary instead of just hitting return and taking whatever alteration the program suggests! Mangled URLs are not uncommon. Going back to the Original posting often sorts it. Yes I did that, it was after that that it took me so long to spot why one worked and the other didn't, as I just read JIG as JPG . I even dropped the two lines into Piperdream (in cells A1 and A2) and asked if they matched, which it said they did. I later found I had asked it to compare C1 and C2. I even did a hex dump of the strings in case there was some hidden difference, while I was checking this my friend looking over my shoulder spotted it almost at once (she started from the RH end). -- Erving

Re: Both r8643 and r9782 go slow on this site.
From: Roger Darlington roger...@freeuk.com Date: 3 Jan 2010 If you click on the URL below, using an Iyonix RO 5.13 (I don;'t know what happens with other computers) then firstly nothing is ever displayed in NS, however long you wait. same here RISC PC RO 4.02 NetSurf2.1 http://www.steves-digicams.com/hardware_reviews.html Steve's Digicams - Camera Reviews And, the computer goes about 10x slower afterwards And, you cannot quit Netsurf. not even from the Tasks window But even if you do manage to quit NetSurf (I did the first time), then the computer is still going about 10x slower. To make the computer go fast again you have to re-boot. Perhaps it uses Javascript... But whatever, something slows the computer down drastically, and wont let NS quit. hourglass keeps running so some activity is causing the slow down Site is happy in Fresco (without re booting) -- Erving
