Is it just me, or has the bar just stopped working in Firefox?

(Still works in IE, incidentally...)

np: Gas - Track 5 (Königsforst)

Argh. Shift-reloading fixed it; I guess an old version of functions.js got stuck in my browser cache...

np: Hallucinator - Wipeout I (Landlocked)

I've just added a post to the enormous 'Bar thread' in Forum Games.

Well, for me holding down shift when clicking on reload (which forces almost every browser to reload everything on the page whether it's in the cache or not) fixed it for me; you could also try clearing your browser's cache - which one are you using?

np: Gas - Track 1 (Zauberberg)

Safari.

I'll have a go at shift clicking.
Thanks.

Elf.

Edit: shift clicking did nothing, but clearing History and emptying cache did it. It's working now.

holding the shift and clicking the reload worked for me.

Thanks

Oh, it seems to have been broken for a while now.

It's stuck on 85%.

If I'm not mistaken, a security measure that Schik uses to keep you from making it too easy to click the bar automatically causes some clicks not to work. Also, since each click is in fact a very simple version of AJAX, a poor internet connection causes slow loading of the popup.

*Technically* it's a CTRL refresh (F5) which skips the cache. Never heard of it being Shift though that may be an alias. Just thought I'd mention that in case people are still having issues...

Totally utterly off-topic:

When I saw this topic title I wandered in here hoping to find talk about alcohol or rugby. But no you're just talking about the TCB bar...

<sigh> I'm so disappointed.

So, why did I bother to post? Because, we should have a DROD Bar & I felt like doing a thread hijack.

Haven't you found The Bar in the Anything board? Here's a link.

Worse than that... IE uses Ctrl, Firefox uses Shift. Both ignore the other keystroke.

Firefox? If it doesn't ignore it, it certainly treats it differently.

The request details with Shift-Reload:

And with Ctrl-Reload:

It follows through to images etc on the page as well -- Shift-Reload will send no-cache directives when requesting images, but Ctrl-Reload will allow cached images to be returned if there's a proxy server in the way.

Shift-F5 does absolutely nothing for me, and Ctrl-F5 does what you're describing for Shift-F5. Maybe we're getting confused and you mean Ctrl-R and Shift-R, but that doesn't work either.

"Shift-Reload" as in "hold down shift and click on the reload button"...

np: Yello - Call It Love (One Second)

That would do it. I'm just too lazy to move my mouse up there, so I use Ctrl-F5
