But seriously.... How can a standards compliant browser not be supported?!!! The mind boggles!!!

Who says it was standards compliant?  MircoSoft was one of the original signator of the w3c when it was first started. Yet until begining with IE 7 and more so with IE8  has IE become compliant. For years MS used their standing or Offices with w3c to find out what the standards were, Just so they could go directly the opposite. So IE users would have to be looked into using it for site written for IE. Now that Gates is not calling day to day shots as MS, Ms has ventured more into the real world. along with MS , apple was an original signator  or backer of w3c.

 

If everyone followed w3c standards, then any browser could read, and view any web page from anyone.  Wasn't always so, but getting closer.

And he knows it's true because he misunderstood it on the internet.

Ansury if it doesn't work in Chrome then it's a bug in Chrome. Again what version of Chrome are you actually using ? If you want to help; post the problem to the Chromium Project so the bug can get fixed. I doubt it's a bug or you're using the general release version which doesn't have all the latest addons and recent capabilities.

I've on the developer trunk and I have no problems with these forums working other than the known bugs, or features not yet added to JIVE.

Sure you say you have no problems, but why should I risk running a non-production version of Chrome just to get this ****ing forum working correctly?

 

Does anyone else think this should be considered a CHROME (a JavaScript focused browser) bug rather than a Jive bug?

 

Chrome works fine with almost every other website I visit. But it's a Chrome bug? Given Jive's track record, it's not a Jive bug...? Sure about that?

Non Production version of Chrome ? WTF ?! The beta's and developer versions are stable What differentiates them is not bugs but the versions of webkit, V8 and the extensions features that are now being rolled out, as well as themes. There is a different paradigm in the way Google is developing this software; The definitions of terms beta/developer's version don't apply. If you don't want to see the improvements then fine with me; But the issue you're complaining about is a bug in the browser (if it exists) not the forums.

So you can stop the bull crap; you're not helping get the forums fixed by being misleading.

In this case beta|developer release == production as usual with Google.

The pardigm is to update fast and release often and have the bugs worked out on the Chromium branch. The Google branch doesn't have many bugs and is better than what most companies offer as release software. You should know that Google is much different in this respect by now Dave. They use beta on their release products for years.

NOT in the Google world, Phillip. They just turned off the beta labels on GMail and their other Cloud products this week; Just for that reason. People's perception of the old software development paradigm. Most companies are moving away from this; some more slowly than others.

Thank you, that's my main point here.

 

Are we really saying beta software is production software?  It's not by it's very definition.  Is that really want you want to say?  Oh my...

 

 

Have fun telling all the future "outdated latest production version" Chrome users that stop by here to upgrade to the "production beta" version, I guess.

I'm not trying to convince anyone -- Just giving the facts. You were complaining about an issue not related to any Forum problem, and I was trying to help you out, by suggesting that you move to a better version of Google Chrome. If you want to be stubborn, so be it. <shrug> I'm not going to suggest people use a buggy version; that wouldn't make me look very good, now would it ?!

Just like I suggested Chrome to you in the first place ...

LIke I said perception Dave, not because they were in fact beta. For reference please read this; it's official.

Sure I'm biased as I know it's the best browser and only getting better. You do know it's going to be the shell or "chrome" of the recently announced GoogleOS for netbooks ?

From the above referenced URI;

"What's in a name? Apparently, not much, since Gmail's perpetual beta only meant that there are still significant features that need to be added. "We have very, very high standards for the product, as we do for all Google products. But we are not ready to come out of beta yet. There are a few things that we're working on, and once we meet a couple more of those criteria, we would love to come out of beta," said Gmail's Product Manager Todd Jackson in March. "

Lacking "features" NOT necessarily bugs determines Google's development status. That's all I've been saying.

Dude, I wasn't trying to be uno an a-r-s-e and 1up u. I just had to get that off my chest.  Some of the children running amok here need to be straightened out a bit to learn that volume of words doesn't mean substance.

You have a short memory old chap. Since you run PPC architecture, no Chrome for you.

Does the latest Safari run on your 'puter ?

O and BTW I don't run anything. Just another volunteer on an open source project.

There isn't any consumer versions;

• Dev channel: GoogleChrome.dmg

Sign upo for news about news about development  .. means to me that they are in development stages and don't even have a beta version out.

no. no it doesn't.
