Frank, this is exactly the kind of issue that is best served in the forum. Go there and ask the question and you’ll get help.

OK, here’s a problem. After just graduating from internet explorer to Firefox, I find that I get a “Windows cannot find http….” message for a few seconds every time I click on to an icon on my home page. This then disappears and the link proceeds normally.

This is getting very irritating, especially as the message doubts whether I’ve typed the address correctly – BBC News, eBay, even Google!!

What can I do to get rid of it?

Under every post, instructions on who to post links using foo.com are posted. For those of us familiar with the use of foo as a variable, if you will, it is nothing new – but for someone who has never seen it before, the problem becomes readily apparent.

I post over at Calendar of Updates as well, and a reader brought up an issue where he tried to actually visit foo.com for whatever reason – and it turns out that the foo.com domain is actually a registered domain, and registered to a not so nice host.

See http://www.dozleng.com/updates/index.php?showtopic=16667 for more details.

I think that the use of foo.com should be removed completely, even though many of us know what it really means, simply because a not so friendly host has gone out and registered foo.com, and this could lead to all sorts of problems down the road.

James, I think there’s a fix for that going in the next deployment.

It works now, thanks. A edit is basically a whole new post?

James, I must have inadvertently denied registered users permission to access the contributor’s forum when I permitted them to edit their own posts. I thought I was adding a permission, but I guess it replaced all other permissions. It should be good now.

@James: Good point about the contributor forum. We need to setup the proper rights for it.

@Jesper: It would have been nice, but we didn’t have the manpower to fix everything. The URLs are in the “polish” category of bugs, and we still have real bugs to fix.

It could have been nice if you had fixed the urls before launch. What has “tiki” to do with Firefox Support from a user perspective? Not much.

What is the point of mentioning contributor’s subforum if you are going to lock it. http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=3

Yes, I know the forum is still being worked on.
