Why doesn’t tiplanet show up on my computer?
« on: January 26, 2013, 12:48:22 pm »
Tiplanet never works on my computer
When I want to download something, I can get to programmes page, but after that I t just has a spinning buffering symbol next to 100%
It is really quite frustrating
I can get to it on the family desktop, but not on my laptop

Indeed, I use internet explorer because
My laptop is slow as heck, because it was my mom’s until she decided she didn’t want it, and she doesn’t know anything about computers
A year went by until she gave it to me, but I used it other times too, so small things about are nice, like saved passwords, and favorites bar
Anyway, it doesn’t work on internet explorer or Google chrome, because I have both

Try clicking on "Désactiver la navigation intelligente" (top-right).

There is a problem with smart navigation/navigation intélligente in some browsers, though: If you close your browser, it doesn't remember your setting, so you have to click "Désactiver la navigation intelligente" everytime you visit TI-Planet.

Just log in, it will remember your settings :).

Eh ? I use Google Chrome every single second on TI-Planet and never noticed that.
Is it an up to date Chrome ? (That would surprise me because it updates automatically)

TI-Planet navigation engine has been tested on Firefox, Opera and Chrome. IE is still not a standard for me.
On the other hand, I checked on IE 9 and it worked fine.

I do not blame you for using IE6. IE6 blames you for using it by showing non standard page displays.

Also, can you link me a page that does what you're encouring on IE6 ? (even if it's all page, I just want one :p)

Ah ok that might explain it. Usually cookie settings are saved for me when I close my browser but not every one of them.

I fixed it by clicking that smart navigation thing. Thanks people
It wasn't because of my browser
I have not yet registered there, and I deleted my browsing history lately, and might have deleted my cookies

It is, the smart navigation engine is an ajax browsing method I developped to make navigation easier (basically, no page refresh at all).
I don't understand why you're saying that .. sincerly.

Ajax tends to be supported terribly in browsers in general. For example, in Opera, Facebook used to take 100% of the CPU during about 10 seconds every page load/comment expanding when they did their 2008-09 redesign, and other browser freezes occured in Firefox elsewhere as well, such as Youtube. Not to mention he says he uses an old computer, which makes things even worse. This is why some people advise web designers to keep AJAX use to a minimum, so that we don't need a quad core computer to use the site.

Whenever I visit TI-Planet, I try to disable smart navigation unless I only check news, because it's actually slower than standard page loading for me (I have a 30mbps connection and a first gen Intel Core i7 computer with 8 GB of RAM).

I totally understand the overload that this engine can create, this is also the reason of this button.
What I don't understand is why he is saying that the bug he has (different from an overload, let it be clear) wasn't due to his browser.
Why then during at least one year haven't we never noticed that bug then ?
I don't even understand what his bug is, to be honnest, since the smart nav does not parse the links with a target property, and here, the download links have this property.

He says it isn't due to his browser because he tried on a different computer using identical browsers and he didn't have the problem. If it was his browser, then he would have gotten the exact same problem on both computers.

It could be a virus or something broken in his OS install, right? (or parental filter, since we remember Darl181 had all sorts of errors on his computer in 2010 as a direct result of a parental filter)
