Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
Same issue for a week or so.
On the specified thread, the pictures only step through the sequence the first time round. Chome on windows 7 64 bit. EDIT: Same with Opera but works normally with Firefox

The best solution would be to use Firefox for all browsing. Both for this particular problem and to prevent webdevelopers from developing for a single rendering engine since everyone uses Chromium anyway. I use both a pre-chromium version of Opera, which renders most pages surprisingly well, and Firefox for those pages it doesn't want to render. |

That said, I can't induce failure on StationX's even slowly stepped. Trying my own thread if I select the first image and hit next it exits the images. But trying again it works correctly! I think it's just unpredictable. Peter Last edited by peter_scott; 18th Nov 2020 at 9:31 pm. |

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
It's very consistent for me. You can cycle round the images to your heart's content so long as you keep the image window open. Once you close the image window you can only view one image before the image window closes of its own volition. Refreshing the page resets things.

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
Another with no trouble to report on Firefox. Personally I avoid Chrome/Google as much as I can because of all that data scraping (sounds dirty, doesn't it?) and haven't had any trouble in any forum with Firefox even with Ghostery and various other addons of similar types.
If the forum software needs to be changed, a point in Google's favour is that the search bar at the top here has far better results than other fora I frequent when trying to search threads. Do try to keep a good search function, whatever means provides it! |

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
In the short term, if it is too problematic, I can switch off the "lightbox" option which would mean that image attachments would always open in new tabs, rather than on top of teh page with the black backgrould. However that would probably be worse for many people than the current niggle.

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
I would say don't change anything.

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
Likewise,
It doesn't really make sense to change the Forum to suit what looks to be a problem in Chrome/Chromium. Maybe the problem might go away in the next version? Surely the simplest solution for now is to just use Firefox, since it doesn't appear to have this problem. Ian |

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
This bug does appear to affect all browsers which use the Chromium codebase, which is an awful lot nowadays. I've just tried Amazon Silk, the default browser on Kindle Fire tablets, and that is affected.
Personally I don't find it a serious problem though. |

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
It happens on my cheapo Vodafone mobile phone using Android and Chrome. Not a big issue for me though.

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
Strangely enough, I can't reproduce this problem on Edge.
Edge seems to work fine for me. However Opera does exactly what others have reported. I'm running Win 7 on this PC. I have Firefox, Opera and Edge installed, so I thought I would try out this problem people are having. I use Firefox 99% of the time, on Linux, and Windows when I use it. I use Opera occationally which is why I have it installed. Edge was forced onto my machine with a recent Windows 7 Update. You know, the ones they are not doing for Win 7 anymore! Ian |

Re: Puzzling behaviour on UKVRRR forum
As of yesterday (well that's when I noticed it) this problem has now resolved itself (for me anyway) and pictures can now be clicked next and next and back again as many times as thought necessary - no idea what's changed...a browser update behind the scenes perhaps?
