bad formatting of news page
by Jim Nagel
What is it about the formatting of my local newspaper's web pages?
Netsurf shows the main column of text so narrow that every line
requires horizontal scrolling. Typical example:
http://www.centralsomersetgazette.co.uk/Baily-s-costs-dream-revive-2-000-...
I find the least painful way to read the story is to save the whole
page as text and then read the textfile.
Has the website programmer made some inept setting in the stylesheet
(CSS), or is Netsurf making some mistake or interpreting something too
literally?
I presume browsers such as Firefox show what the designer intended.

multi-core processors
by Jim Nagel
Some of the new Arm hardware running RiscOS (e.g. the ArmX6 and
Titanium) has a multi-core processor. So far, of course, RiscOS lacks
the ability to make use of the extra potential.
Question occurs to me: what's the situation with the other platforms
on which Netsurf runs -- Amiga, Atari, etc? Does multi-core ability
exist in hardware there?
Do the Netsurf developers have ideas for how Netsurf could take
advantage of the extra processing power when the OSes allow it?

RISC OS/RPi 3 support
by John-Mark Bell
All,
Build 3460 or later should run fine on the Raspberry Pi 3 under RISC OS.
As none of the developers have such hardware, please could somebody who
does please test this and ensure it works.
Thanks,
John-Mark.

Sorry, I had to guess the link after the crash.
I just tried this:
https://github.com/vinriviere/m68k-atari-mint-gcc/
First the peer failure dialogue pops up and then ns crashes with:
Failure when receiving data from the peer
render/html_object.c:125: html_object_callback: Assertion `c->base.status != CONTENT_STATUS_ERROR' failed.

Crash on Atari build
by Peter Slegg
I recent builds (last week or so) I have had problems exiting ns,
it would just hang and I've also had a few situations where it
would hang while awaiting a page.
I've just had a proper crash:
Failure when receiving data from the peer
render/html_object.c:125: html_object_callback: Assertion `c->base.status != CONTENT_STATUS_ERROR' failed.
I was trying to view:

These might not be specific to the Atari build but now that js is
implemented I gave my router admin pages another test.
Enter the ip address of the router 192.168.0.1 and NS reports
that it is running out of memory.
Enter it as http://192.168.0.1 and the login dialogue appears.
I have to backspace to remove the - characters.
The password is not hidden.
The page has a js a redirect which doesn't work.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function loadnext() {top.location.href="./start.htm"; }</script></head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" onload="loadnext()" > Loading file ...</body></html>

Missing images
by Peter Slegg
Using the recent Atari builds on this newspaper:
http://www.express.co.uk/
the first few images are displayed but when I scroll down, the
rest are missing.
Currently using build 3434 but this has been the case for a few weeks.
I wondered if it is a time-out issue perhaps ?

unresizable web page (last bank standing)
by Jim Nagel
Is it something about the coding of this site or about Netsurf's
rendering of it? Or maybe it's in the CSS of the page?
https://www.change.org/p/last-bank-standing-don-t-let-communities-lose-th...
The picture displays so huge as to be unrecognizable pixels;
paragraphs of text are a single line so wide that they are unreadable.
Resizing the Netsurf window (even with Ctrl on the Resize icon) does
nothing but make the font smaller -- text remains a single line.
Using Netsurf #3382 on Ro 5.23.
===
(A propos the site cited, Barclays Bank closes its branch in this town
at this very moment. Natwest closed a year ago, HSBC a few months
ago. That leaves Lloyds. And Lloyds closes later this month.)
