Ok, just to tell you right now, Firefox will work for me on the site itself, but I need to go into IE in order to get into the forums, so I'm sugesting that you can add a Basic HTML editor redirect for Firefox users instead of the advanced graphical interface that IE uses. This may not effect all Firefox users, but it does piss me off some (FYI I have FF vrs. 1.5.0). Another thing, for the UN, why not have a real-time setup (where if someone votes for something, it's updated emetially instead where you have to hit refresh (or reload for Netscape users) to see the change)? Oh, and when you enter the forums, instead of redirecting in the same window, have it pop up a new window (or tab, for Firefox) instead of redirecting in the same window. That way you can post stuff and take care of your nationstate all at the same time. Oh, and a IRC chat room would be nice to (I'm setting up a temp one later on Firefox Chatzilla, ill post it when i set it up)

That's probably why.

As for the IRC chatroom suggestion, been there, done that, got the (in my case literally) I <3 #NSG T-shirt. Most NS IRC channels are on esper.net (I'm not sure if that's Chatzilla compatible): the biggest are #nationstates and #nationstates_general.

Nope. I have Fx v1.5 and everything works fine.

Firefox works fine for me; I have 1.5 as well. It's probably your specific machine.

I have been using NS from Firefox with every version since the alphas and have never had a problem

Not programmatically practical.

This is something worth thinking about, but I think that we'll leave it as it is as it is easy enough to open it in it's own tab/window should you desire.

We have no intentions of starting an official NationStates IRC channel. There are, however, a multitude of unofficial ones on Esper.net.

*wonders what sort of bandwidth would be needed to do that.....

Suggestion: try the right mouse button, scroll down to "open in new window/tab"

Suggestion: try the right mouse button, scroll down to "open in new window/tab"Right click? Pah! That's what the wheel button is for! Or, I suppose, CTRL+left click...

That works. But I better not continue, or this will become a Firefox suggestion thread....
And also, Firefox works fine... V 1.5!

You can also drag and drop links to open new tabs.
