Yeah, a while back they moved thunderbird from mozilla to mozilla_messaging so i have to add _messaging to the URLs to make them work again. Here:

noscript allows you to selectively enable and disable single scripts, but it would be a series of trial and error to find the bad one. It can also disable flash videos, which may also be causing issues.

Maybe install noscript and enable only the absolutely necessary Javascript files, as poorly written javascript running wild can easily use more than normal CPU cycles.

The iPhone app is getting the most love these days, but seriously, it's a great lightweight twitter app for the desktop. Some of us don't need a full screen solution like tweetdeck. I still won't use Tweetie for Mac because even though I can tell it to not mark tweets as read until I click them, it will automatically mark whatever the 'top' tweet was every time it updates as read. That's a killer (alongside the incredible memory usage, gobble gobble! yes I have 4GB of ram, but don't be greedy, Tweetie!). Twitterrific lets me quickly scan tweets whenever I feel like it, and leave it for later when I don't. That's all I want.

Also, retweet support will probably come when official support for retweeting comes, which is soon. Is copy pasting and editing a little bit really that hard?

This top 10 list someone posted isn't the first instance where several requests in one thread, for example there's also a few feature musings. Many people don't seem to grasp the idea of one thread per issue (so that it can be tracked separately). It would be nice if I could go through, snip the part of his post where he asked for a calendar thing, and merge that as a reply to the proper thread. It would also be nice if I could merge the other threads, and I heard merge is coming (about the same time as <acronym title="Duke Nukem Forever">DNF</acronym>), but the ability to split the initial post is good too.


Also, a button to perhaps merge the tags with the users post (I've sent several direct messages to @supereric showing examples, and he's "corrected" them in the worst possible way) their entire question in the tag, and basically a short single sentence in the actual post. I don't know if you can see the history of administrator actions (I'd be very disappointed if you couldn't! blame is very important for trust!) on this post, but he had about 2 paragraphs in the tags box and only one short sentence in the post box. Eric deleted the entire tag instead of pasting them into the question box. That's data loss, his question was deleted! (Apparently the "here's what we found" box thinks this is relevant)


In short: I know you will immediately respond telling me that by trying to organize things, that I'm "putting words in people's mouths" potentially, and that it's better to be in a huge confusing mess than an organized easy to navigate system because therefore it's "as written" instead of "as corrected". That's a good way to convince companies that it's not worth it to claim their accounts here, since they don't get any way to make it easier for customers to keep separate issues separate and the same issue together.


Since we're talking about threads that should be merged, I tried to install Help Center on my server, everything's set up right, I downloaded the compiled version from the admin panel so it should be ok, set up the config (it's actually base.php that has the DB settings, the instructions are wrong in saying config.php does, also chowning it to the webserver is bad, you should chmod it instead), and I get sent to admin-findsite.php and the message

It looks like something went wrong.

Start over at the Help Center Home Page.


Or report this problem to Get Satisfaction.

I checked the error.log and I get no PHP errors at all. I'd like some way to debug what's going on here, heh. Using 0.61.


Another side complaint: Why don't posts get updated with progress reports? Shannon's Grand Input was enjoyed by all 6 months ago, but no "we've done this!" replies have been made.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
Need to be able to split threads and posts.

Don't worry about the OS, it's the same on XP Vista and 7, just follow the directions for Thunderbird here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/an...

http://spreadfirefox.com is intended to fill that role, feel free to post suggestions to their forum

In the future, please use more descriptive titles. Imagine if all your e-mail had the subject line "IMPORTANT" or "An e-mail.", it would be hard to tell which ones are which.

If you single click an e-mail, do you see anything in the preview pane? When you say "blank screen", do you mean no toolbars or anything, just a large white box?

I would think Weave would work?

I don't work for Verizon Wireless, and if you're trying to get e-mail from olg.com Verizon blocks outgoing port 110 to prevent spam so you can't connect to servers not on Verizon.

If you're trying to get e-mail from a verizon wireless address, I don't think that's possible since I don't think they provide you with one as they're positioned as a secondary ISP.

Firefox 3.5 is out, and has nothing to do with Thunderbird. They are completely separate products.

So you're using a different e-mail account (new one on lap top), like the one on a different pc is from Comcast and the one on your laptop is from Cox? Is that right?

Thunderbird 3 works with the OS X address book, but I believe MobileMe on windows ONLY works with Microsoft Outlook. You'll have to complain to Apple about that.

The only way to do this would be a service like GoToMyPC or Windows Remote Desktop or VNC, Thunderbird downloads and stores your e-mails locally. However, if you use IMAP or use POP3 and checked the option to leave your messages on the server, I would think unc would have a way to access your e-mails through the website and thus you could find them there.

Feature, so people don't try to hide possible evidence in a murder case:

Does this still occur on the latest version of Firefox? Firefox 3.0 is the old branch and 3.5 is the currently supported branch. You can get the latest at http://www.getfirefox.com

It is scarily sounding like it will be quite a while and may require a real hardware hack. – Thomas, on October 06, 2009 08:39
