Netscape 7 Cache/History Question

Jonbo298 · 08-16-2003, 07:54 AM

This has been annoying me for the longest time (ever since 7 came out). But the question is, how can I keep NS from I guess you could say "deleting" my cache every time I close it? It seems like whenever NS crashes and I have to forcefully close it, then reopen it, it has to reload any site I go to. Like GT for example. My avatar and sig are at least 80% of the time have to be redownloaded in NS. Then other sigs have to be redownloaded into the temp/cache folder also. So is there a way to keep it from doing that? Thats the only thing that annoys the hell out of me in NS. (I wish I had cable, then I wouldnt care about this problem, but alas, I dont

)

*Edit* I just upgraded from 7.02 to 7.1. I'll see how well it does on keeping cache files or whatever. But give any help anyways, just in case.....

??? ok ill give u the mozilla being good but netscape over ie *shakes head

netscape is by far not my fav.

but at least the newer netscape is keeping up with the times. IE is like the same as its always been. theres nothing new besides its look changing.

its slower, and far less options.

I love Opera tho. and they even been adding code to it so websites that are made with the poor code for IE will look right on thiers. Even tho they shouldnt have to because people shoulda just made the websites correctly to begin with.

options arnt everything theres alot more options on steel batallion then halo but halo is better

Null · 08-16-2003, 11:41 PM

acutally i find theres more options on halo. options arent just something in a list. they're options of things to do. and i find a wider variaty of things to do as you wish in halo.

HOWEVER, this isnt a game. and a plane browsing program that does little effort to make itself better or improve just dont cut it.

Hero2 · 08-16-2003, 11:48 PM

if it was just a list halo would beat steel batallon hands down
u cant improve on greatness

.....my freind says firebird is better then anything...

Null · 08-16-2003, 11:52 PM

from what i seen its very good.

its for mac isnt it?

IMO i still like opera a bit better =) i got my opera on my Windows and Linux. hehe

Well, this is all I see. THere isn't an Empty on Exit option in NS 7.1. Mozilla might have it, but I haven't downloaded it yet.

Jeff, you can't get me to convert. IE is horrible. MS can't get with the times and make a FRESH looking browser, kind of like what Null said.

Also, I included an attachment to show what I'm seeing since NS's preferences are probably different then Mozilla's.

I think I might've solved my problem. I tell NS to compare cache page to current page loading only when the server says its out of date. (When the Page is out of Date option on NS's cache)

and look how easy it is to do that in ie. its simple and easy so what if ns looks fun and bubblie its just how it looks. looks arnt everything

Null · 08-17-2003, 05:20 PM

IE sure seems to think looks are everything.

thats why MS can only change the look of IE a little bit since Windows 98.

But hey, MS has it right there, Why try to fix crap? your hands just get all messy.

I know looks aren't everything, but I just don't like IE. If I had XP on this machine (can't because the video card is horribly bad), I would take out IE. I don't want to in 98 because it would die if it didn't have IE on it.

So say what you want Jeff, you can't convert me
