I have an odd problem.
When I go to this site
in WindowsXP with Firefox I can see the entire listbox of shows (up to current date +/-1day)
in Suse with Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008091700 SUSE/3.0.3-1.1 Firefox/3.0.3)
I can only see up to August!!!
I am assuming it is a setting within Suse, but I couldnt figure it out. The same thing happens in Konqueror (KDE V4.0.4 Release 15.2), and Opera (9.62 Build 2466)
I just loaded that page and didn’t see any listboxes at all… are you
sure the URL is correct?
Good luck.

You can, if you want, save the html source file of the page from within Windows, and then do the same from within SuSE, and then compare the two. If they’re different, then it’s not your browser’s fault. I’m saying nothing new, but a great many sites actually deliver different content depending on which browser you use.
As a great man once said, using the Lynx browser is a smart way to avoid ads!
Okay, so listbox was the terminology thing. I see from 2008-06-02 to
2008-11-04 in bot Firefox 2.0.0.14 on SLED and Opera 9.60, also on SLED
(10 SP2 x86_64).
Good luck.

Well I can only confirm that you’re not alone, it gets stuck on trying to load something in opera, firefox and konqueror.
Even lynx just shows it till a certain point along with
“read 39 KiB of data, 496 bytes/sec.” and the number slowly goes down, till I guess 0 byte/sec.
No clue as to what is causing it though.
bump.
anyone have any ideas as to why this happens.
Another thing I am noticing is that sometimes when there is a website that has alot of youtube embeds the video ‘display’ will not load up and all you will see is a grey box, with no controls.

no mystery here…there are tons of sites authored to be “best when
viewed with Internet Exploder”…
guess what, if this site http://aruljohn.com/details.php can tell
what you are using in the way of browser AND operating system, then
so can themicroeffect.com, and it can then serve up exactly what it
wants to, depending on what you are using…
First off let me say thank you for replying.
I checked that site browsing with firefox. Yep it comes up as linux and firefox << AS EXPECTED >>
but then I went to Konqueror and set it up TOOLS > SET BROWSER IDENTIFICATION to IE 6.0 on WINXP and checked that site … and as expected it showed WINXP and IE6… so then I immediately go to themicroeffect and try to access the most recent podcast… NOPE it is still not working (cannot get the full listing, currently I can only get to 10/24/08).
I also repeated it for setting Mozilla on XP and in the end had the same result!!
Now more than ever I think that it has to be something with the way linux TCPIP is working…something must be incorrect…
since you are sure it is a problem with the way linux does TCPIP i’d
suggest you post again, a new thread, to the Network/Internet section
of the forum…and if you find no satisfaction there either (but lots
of confirmation that the problem does exist at themicroeffect.com)
perhaps you should make a bug report…
HOWEVER, if there is only ONE known site on the entire Internet that
is displaying this particular ‘bug’, won’t you need to consider the
possibility that linux does TCPIP correctly, and something is wrong
with that single site’s webserver setup…or maybe the way the page
is coded??
