Cantr II Discussion Forum

When I try to perform opertations on multiple notes and then put them into and envelope there is a problem with the page - the envelope selection box thingy doesn't come up.

Been like this for a while.

Is it the same for all your characters and are you using some weird-ass browser or something common?

Same for all. Using IE.

First off, have you tried deleting cache/cookies and the usual internet troubleshooting stuff?

If possible, can you try a different browser? I would suggest Firefox, if for anything else to eliminate that as an issue.

Do you receive an error at all when attempting this, or does it just not show up?

Yes

No error. Normal page - box just isn't there.

Alright, seems to be an isolated IE issue (no surprise).


Which version of IE are you running, and is it is standard or 64 bit mode?


Once you reply, I will try and replicate and troubleshoot the issue.

standard IE8 on windows 7

Problem is replicable, able to produce same results as Crashblizz.


Will begin messing with settings now to see if I can find a fix.

Alright, issue resolved.


Steps:

Open IE

There is an option on the toolbar "Page" you will click it and there will be a dropdown menu.


Yes, the above image does kinda suck, but it does point out the general area.

Now, once Page view is dropped, go down to the "Compatibility View Settings" and click it.
Once the window opens up, point to the "Add this Website" section and enter this :
http://cantr.net

into the field and then hit "add" and then "close"

Once done, close the browser and reopen it. Go to cantr and test it out. Let me know if this fixed it for you.

That solved it, thanks very much.

Compatibity view makes the page links (Events/location/people...) about 20-30% longer which looks odd but I'll get used to it

Also makes all the resources on the location page really close together as well as the roads.

Very strange, its like a whole new cantr layout





Ah, found a big problem. In compatibility view any notes with muitple pics on appear in a linear fashion. In other words certain maps don't work. I guess I'm switching the mode on and off depending on what I'm trying to do... (or just don't mess with more than three or four letter at any given time)

Not using IE will solve all your problems.

I think IE has the best layout. I don't like firefox, I hate chromes colour scheme and don't even get me start on the crap made by apple - although this is not something we should get into here
