A what is
by Dave Symes
Good Morning Alan,
I hope you are in good spirits.
I have a question, and I'm hoping you might have an answer.
In a road near us there's a Church, "Life and Advent Church" it has been
there as long as I've lived here in Bournemouth, and I still have no idea
what sort/denomination of faith it might be.
I've pootled around the net a bit, but cannot seem to find anything
specific to that name.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks
Dave
PS: There's a vague possibility I've asked you this same question in the
past, but my medicated memory is not holding info very well.
D. :-/

NS2.60 and F8
by Roger Darlington
this may be normal behaviour for any program (??) :
If I use F8 to view a (local) HTML page in NS2.60, and I edit it, when
I come to save it, it has not got the correct save address.
But if I instead Menu > ViewSource, then it does have the correct save
address.

Hang resulting in 11MB logfile.
by Dr Peter Young
I've just filed this bug report:
[quote]
This is with RISC OS 5.16 and NetSurf test build r10731.
Page http://www.rickstein.com/Steins-Fish-and-Chips.html loaded;
hourglass activity, sometimes the main animated one and sometimes the
NetSurf small one, seems to be continuous. Click on "Sample eat-in
menu". Nothing happens apart from more hourglass, till I get
impatient. Can't now quit NetSurf except with alt-break.
[unquote]
The 11MB logfile zips to 377K, which is too big to upload.
I think this must be due to bad site design (it works OK with Windows
Firefox), but is it worth sending this logfile to one of the
developers?
TIA,
With best wishes,
Peter.

ROOL site: error setting certificate verify locations:
by Dave Higton
I've just installed Netsurf r10743 on both Iyonix and BeagleBoard.
On trying to log in to the ROOL site, I get a warning from Netsurf:
"error setting certificate verify locations:" with a Continue button.
This /only/ happens on the BeagleBoard; doing the same thing on the
Iyonix allows me to log in.
This doesn't sound like a bug to me so much as some stored information
that needs deleting. I looked for a cookie from riscosopen but I
couldn't find one.
Anyone seen the same? Anyone know a fix?
