When you post, the icon doesn't show up. Refreshing the page (whether by posting again, or closing and reopening it or hitting F5) will cause it to show up.

Great use of strikethrough!

F5? Does that refer to a specific browser? I think generically the reload or refresh button does what you are referring to.

F5 is fairly standard shorthand for reload/refresh. It works in FF, Konqueror and IE and, I assume, in other GUI browsers.

ok, I gave it a try. I hope I did it right.

Well, I'll be ...

I thought I had specifically checked it in FF before posting. I must have been asleep or something, because I see now that it works in FF. However, it does *not* work in the current version (1.1.18) of SeaMonkey. (I have minimal experience with IE and Konqueror.) In any case, this is new information for me.

You might want to check the options menu. I didn't reboot into Puppy just to check it myself, but I do recall that the middle-click/open-in-a-new-tab feature was disabled by default. You might find the same true for F5/refresh.

Cheers

F5 works in Opera.

Shift-F5 refreshes all tabs in Konqueror. (Can't find an easy way to test that in Opera.)

Not that I can find. But in the process of looking I did discover that Ctrl-R will refresh in SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey is really starting to look like the odd-man-out here ...

Can you reconfigure its shortcuts?

gymnart · 10-23-2009, 10:46 AM

testing again with original UA

gymnart · 10-23-2009, 10:47 AM

testing with FF 2.0.0.17 UA (needed for Facebook)

I'm going to request, one last time, that this thread not be used for testing.
