    I don't know, I did the update, and haven't had any crashing at all (yet...). I'm working on the powerbook, because the dual-processer powermac is flaky anyway (I think it's the hot-shot graphics card my ex put in it before he shipped it over here).

    But I'll work on it; my partner is after me to create a few basic template outlines so we can see about getting some quick cheap clients. I'll need a blogging snippet, a shoutbox, and a few other things, so it will put it through its paces.

    Now if he could only make up his mind about a name for the business! I'm tempted to just call it "bluedonefuzzy" and let him fume!

      Eww! Working with Safari, I was off downloading snippets, and when I came back and did some editing and saved, I got the login page (session had timed out), but in the right frame! And the whole thing came up in the right frame, with the left frames still there! Another reason to get rid of those frames!

        Cleaning up the context menu and normalizing some of the CSS in general right now. Making some progress on the context menu rendering in Firefox and in Safari... not there but close.

        Requires a change to 6.php...

          Susan, can you try out the following changed files in Safari, please? Just trying to get the rendering more consistent between the browsers... I think I solved a lot of the context menu, but I can't get it to correctly calculate the height.

          Changed manager files

            That templateWarning javascript function had me going for quite a while! All I wanted to do was change the template of a document, and after I cleared the warning and the frame refreshed, I thought the change was saved! Took me a couple of hours of debugging and headscratching to realize that it wasn't really doing anything, and I still had to "Save" the document!

            I'll try the new stuff out, but I'm about done for tonight.

              Much better! I'll dig into it more tomorrow; I'm calling it a day.

                I'm so confused smiley
                Is there a new install that I can give the once over to help with troubleshooting? I think I'm a little lost between all the new manage file replacements.

                    As soon as you download the files, rename it by adding the date to the filename. (modxyz-04-16-05.zip) that way you can keep up with them and know which ones you are looking at.

                      OK, I'm half-stupid but I'm trying the original release to just get it running, using this install:

                      and I get stuck on a screen after the database check with this:

                      Setup will now attempt to setup the database:
