Website and Forum Help, Feedback & Advice

[gymno74]

i'm using my ps3 browser & as of last night, the pop-ups on this forum (all boards) aren't working.

by pop-ups i mean when you hover over a thread title to see the 1st few lines, or over a user's 

name or avatar for their recent posts etc.

when i say not working, the feature does work on the 1st page i visit, ie: coming from another website,

but after entering a thread, or going to any other page within the forum, it stops working.

i can always get the feature to work by refreshing the page but again, this only lasts for the page i'm

currently viewing.

it's really not a big problem. just thought i'd better report it & also see if it's just me or not.

anyone else experiencing this glitch?

cheers

The forum isn't really compatible with the PS3 browser and the fact they show at all, ever is really a bonus

very helpful. thanks

I'd recommend using your PC browser for important posts, or ones requiring formatting, otherwise you'll only get basic functionality from most browsers.

Sorry I can't provide a solution.

if you'd actually read my post, you'd know i wasn't looking for a solution.

assuming this glitch is a result of yesterday's maintenance, the only solution is for the psn

people to have a look.

as there's relatively few ps3 browser users on these forums, i thought i'd do the right thing

& report it just incase they weren't aware & also to make sure it wasn't just me.

incidentally, the 'options' pop-up in the top right hand corner of a post works fine.

Look at the bottom right corner of the page.

PSN has nothing to do with this web page, the site is lithium technology powered.

The Web admin team have only the tools provided by the company realy.

The PSN work had nohing to do with the site changes those were planned by the sites web team.

The Layout of the Site had some changes done this meant removal of some pages and changes to others this added a bug to the PS3 browser.

Lithium tech is only built for IE and Firefox. So there is no requirement for Any fixes for PS3.

This means you should be prepaired for it to remain as it is...

"Mouse over an item" is different technology than "Mouse click" usage and requires different support from browsers.

So thats Login first to site.

Then disable cookies, navigate site.

Then before navigating to a new site re-enable cookies.

Confirmed. That does work Ill PM Tribble so he can put the info in his browser thread.
