I have a complaint.

There does not appear to be a convenient way to go to the regular joltcountry.com site from the forum index on the BBS. For instance, one would think that the large "JOLT COUNTRY" banner at the top would link to the site it is advertizing, but alas, it does not.

Is there any way to properly address this complaint?

I concur. Thoroughly. Well spoken, Mr. Parrish. Perhaps I've been a wee bit harsh on you in the past. Friends?

Everybody's cool if the giant "Jolt Country" image points back to the main site?

I... I think I can do that. Yessiree.

OK, it should work now. If it doesn't, please hit "refresh" on your browser and try again. If it still doesn't please let me know. It should even work on Mozilla! At least, it worked on my version of Mozilla when I tried it.

(Does anyone know how to throw Mozilla into memory on Win 98 bootup? I said "no" to this when I installed Mozilla and now I find that I am less likely to use it because it takes so frigging long to load when I click on it. There was an option to have it in the system tray or whatever when I installed it and I said "no" but I don't see how to change that decision post-install.)

I also upgraded to phpBB 2.0.1 tonight. Previously we were using 2.0. What exciting changes were made to 2.0.1? Honestly, I couldn't figure that out. They weren't exactly big on that over at phpbb.org. It was more like, "upgrade or you'll be sorry!!!" So I upgraded.

If anyone else has any complaints now would be a good time to make yourself heard. I am in a complaint-solvin' mood.

Well, link works in Mozilla for me..

In Preferences, Advanced, you can check off Quicklaunch,which, to me still seems to take a long time to load. Or are you looking for something else? (If there is I'd like to know too)

Hey, that makes the Mozilla experience much, much more enjoyable. Thanks on that.

Now, if only there were a way to get my bookmarks alphabetized. (I have done checking on this, and I think it's a very low priority bug that hasn't been fixed yet.)

I just got this to work. Went to manage bookmarks, view, then highlighted the list I wanted alphabetized, clicked on buttons in view menu -- sort by word and A-Z. That did it, at least for the folder I tried. But it is like target practice hitting the buttons to make them work.

Well, just amend my reply, I noticed just now that the folder of bookmarks I sorted are indeed sorted when you look at bookmarks from the sidebar, but not when you just pull down the bookmark menu.

Generally I find Mozilla fine for my needs. Actually better to use than IE. But this reminds me of the insistence on the website that Mozilla is not meant for end users but rather for developers. And to me, it is like they're trying to have it both ways. I mean, if it isn't for end users why release it in such a public manner? And if it is released as it has been then fix a few annoing bugs which might not be big deals but are sure death for attracting end users like problems with bookmarks -- another thing I'm thinking of is how it imports IE bookmarks with %20 for spaces. How could you shoot yourself in the foot more efficiently than discouraging IE users from switching because you messed up their bookmarks? To me, that should've been fixed the next day. But, of course, it isn't meant for end users so...
