Jpeg problem with the two most recent versions
by David H Wild
I regularly use NetSurf to display Jpeg images attached to emails by
dragging them there from the Pluto version. Until the last two versions of
NetSurf this has worked perfectly but now it will display the first one
correctly but, when any subsequent **email** jpeg is dragged the first one
is displayed again. Dragging a Jpeg from my hard disc displays correctly
but it still doesn't break NetSurf's grip on the first email jpeg.

Problems with paypal
by Jess Hampshire
Hi
I am unable to make paypal payments with netsurf 2 but it works fine
with netsurf 1.0 (not tried 1.1, 1.0 is my known good fallback.)
Is this a known issue or possibly something odd about my system?
(Iyonix)
ebay and http://ghosts.nin.com both exhibit the problem.
Clicking on the link takes me to an error page rather than to the
correct order page (which NS 1 does)
cheers

Can't attach logfile to bug tracker submission, as usual.
by Dr Peter Young
Copy of text of bug report:
[quote]
RISC OS 5.13, NetSurf r4226, 30 May 04:15.
I've been using www.bbc.co.uk as my home page for some time without
any problem. Since I downloaded this build I have had a fatal crash on
start-up three times. www.bbc.co.uk/radio3 works fine.
I have a logfile zipped (57K) but as usual I've been unable to attach
this; should I send it to anyone?
With best wishes,
Peter.
PS Why does this always seem to happen? Who would like the file?

Another suggestion for NetSurf
by Paul Vigay
I know what would be good....
When you click 'back' on NetSurf, it could keep any data entered into
forms. There are numerous times when I complete a lengthy form and click
submit, only to find that I've mistyped the captcha or some other error has
occurred, and the site solution is to click back and complete the missing
fields - which mean you have to re-type the whole form again, which is a
pain if you've entered a lengthy comment.
The only (occasional) way around this is to adjust click on the submit
button to submit into a new window, but sometimes this doesn't work.

>From the test builds page:
No longer suppress the default Accept: header. This fixes all those
sites that brokenly assume that it's required and thus break when the
client doesn't send one (here's looking at you royalmail.com).
Now, I don't understand this, but I do understand that I can now
properly access the Royal Mail site with NetSurf. Many thanks, and it
gets better all the time :-)
With best wishes,

Citibank problems
by John
Is there any chance of persuading Netsurf to access this site?
http://www.citibank.co.uk/
it doesn't look too promising at the moment since I cannot get anything to
work on it through either Netsurf, O2 nor Phoenix :(
Is it a case of having to reluctantly revert to Windoze, or would a
suitable complaint have any effect perhaps?
They are doing what I think is a good deal on a cash-back credit card,
(Shell Mastercard) but lack of access via RISC OS is a big drawback.

Brilliant! Now all the local files 'download' correctly filetyped.
Many thanks indeed.

Maybe the above is not clear enough, so I've put a demo file at
http://oldcoaster.drobe.co.uk/filetypes.zip [20KB]. Could someone please
look at it and tell me what I've misunderstood - or why, apparently,
Fresco out-performs NetSurf?

That would mean that anyone wanting to read the document would have to
change their MimeMap.

Shall I post a bug report, or is this exchange sufficient?
