Plus it has a veyr good download manager and some other stuff. I wonder what kind of "software machine" / "method" is used behind and making them viewable to IBrowse.ĭo you know what is the biggest advantage of IBrowse making it still the main browser for classic Amiga users? It is FAST!!!! It is faster on my 030 1200 and faster on my 1200 PPC and even faster on my 4000 PPC. However that shouldn't be a problem since a tiny percentage of users would actually use it. The only tricky bits I can see is session management and the fact it would increase server load when it's used. Once it's working satisfactorily, ask the new owners nicely if they can make it run on a sub domain. So, why not learn PHP and write a proxy script that parses whatever page you requested, reformats it to remove all the CSS related guff, converting it (where necessary) to some tables based view and redirect all referencing links to pass back through the proxy. I was thinking about doing this myself but I feel lacking in urgency since the only amiga browser I use here is OWB. In case you didn't read it, the site was updated to use a new forum engine because there was no other realistic alternative. I'd be willing to wager the vast majority of visitors to the site before moving to vBulletin were not using IBrowse. You can't throw "percentages" aside and then talk about "most popular" classic browser. There are a few problems with your statement. Quote from: HammerD 538801 -Just like to jump in here. Note to myself: Ghz, Terabytes, multiple cores, memory protection, etc rule over an excellent old piece of computing engineering :( Because times will change, computers will get faster, new technologies will arrive, and my Amiga will be ruled out eventually from Amiga-like sites/forums as this one, but they dont understand i will still cherish my original old Commodore-Amiga, as religiously as a car collector treasures his Ford T model. If that is the case then i will be forced in the future to look for a site/forum that really does support Amigas. So from this change onwards, encourages original Amiga 68k users to buy a graphics card or complain to the browser developer? I dont understand how come dont support Classic Amigas anymore whilst other PPC Amiga based sites do support them! I find myself going more to and these am with you on what you said. The new owners of should make it a priority to make this site viewable on classic amigas. The fact that I can view and Amigans.Net perfectly fine on IBrowse 2.4 just adds to my frustration. Percentages, technologies, everything else aside, this site should be visible on the most popular classic browser, and that is IBrowse. I have old iBrowse buy use Seamonkey or Safari everyday.Ī is primarily a classic amiga site.the fact that it displays like sh*t on classic amigas is just plain WRONG. But that doesn't fit the PUSH,PUSH idea of many website owners.Some sites require Flash to see anything. Personally,i HATE it when any website refuses to let my "uotdated" browser view the common text-based and still pictures that are all I really desire without actually clicking on links/hotspots/ to start videos/audio, etc. Or if better 68k browser out there ,all classic users switch to whatever it is and hope/push/pay for work to update it. Ibrowse and Aweb support sucksĪ specific forums > Discussion and Site Feedbackīetter than support old iBrowse is that iBrowse be updated same for AWeb.
