Hello all,

If anyone who is on MySpace is having trouble seeing the full version under Firefox on OS/2 (ie: you are seeing the MySpace Mobile pages), simply visit this link:
http://www.myspace.com/?useclassicmyspace=true

Alternatively (if you dont have the link handy when you have the problem), click "Help" -> "FAQs" and click next till you see the entry that tells you how to see the full MySpace (currently the second FAQ page).

-Rob

Hi!

I did check the link. Seems nothing wrong here on minefield 3.2a1pre (gecko 20081207), except obligatory problems with flash (7) plug-in  :P

cheers

Oddly, that works for me, but just www.myspace.com sends me to the mobile page. This is happening on FF304. Was originally happening on FF 1.x at home... just started happening here on v304.

Hi!

Such behaviour (unwanted redirecting to other pages/subpages) does resemble me troubles I've use to have with couple of sites like torrentz.com ;) for instance... In my case, the cure was to clear entire private data. I mean, not only checking 'clear recent history' from tools menu but also setting cookies to keep them just until close the firefox/minefield on privacy tab in options. But no idea whether this will work for you.

cheers

I'm having issues also, whenever I view Myspace on eComStation 2.0RC6 it makes the CPU usage go to 100% and the system to become unresponsive. So yeah..

I've tried it on every Mozilla based browser, all of them crash. If I manage to stop loading once the login screen comes up, and log in, it crashes on redirect. I'm guessing it's got to do with that bug mentioned in the readme on Firefox 1.5 (one of the versions I ran, I'm not sure if that's been fixed in new versions) about the transparent PNGs.

For everyone's info, my system I ran was a Celeron 600, iirc Coppermine core. Pentium 3 based, I forgot the names of those cores. The system, for an unknown reason, is quite slow, even though I have 128MB RAM. It seems weird really, given that eComStation is designed for slower systems. RC6 is the only one that's like this, lol. RC5 was responsive.

So yeah.. this is yet another reason this should be open sourced.

Hi mustangzach

If you are really talking RC6 *not* RC6a then get the RC6a version as RC6 was not generally released due to various problems.

If talking RC6a then, I suspect, you have some configuration issues; maybe related to all the unwanted driver bits that the eCS installer insists on stuffing in the config.sys file.

Regards

Pete
