My Mozillas block popups, but that preference doesn't stick and you have
to remember to set it each time you start the program. That makes no
sense at all, but that's what happens.


Odd. My Mozilla blocks popups and remembers to do so. What version are
you running, on what platform?


1.4/SuSE, 1.5a/slackware 8.1. It's fairly standard that the win****
versions of netscape/mozilla have features that don't work in the linux
versions.

I could have sworn I had it working on my server (debian unstable).
Looks like I have 1.4 from the debian distro. I'll have to check when I
get home and have X access ....

Treasure Hunt: Try finding season ticket information on Copper's site.
You'd think that might be pretty important information.

BUT, it still beats the heck out of snow.com.


Don;t even get me started on that. For some lame reason I could renew
my season pass online, but could not order new ones for my wife and
step-kids. I had to order those separately on the site (even though the
renewal area told me I had get their's in person), then call them on the
phone to get them all linked together so I can renew them together next
year. For some idiotic reason I don't understand they could do it over
the phone, but could not do it through email, even though I am the same
person either way. They didn't ask me to verify anything they couldn't
have asked through email. I just don't get it...

Probably an accounting/data entry issue where their present renewal
software can't accommodate the additional information for "new" not
"renew" cases. Obviously costs more to have the software renewed than
to maintain a toll-free phone number and clerk to handle the changes.

Works just fine on my Gentoo box. Easy to customize if it doesn't. Has
every feature I have ever used in the Windows version.

It IS easy to customize, it just doesn't stick. Moreover, the HELP
function skips over the popup-rejection feature, leading me to believe
that while they left the preference in, they just didn't implement it. I
was going to report it to bugzilla, but then I noted that they don't want
reports on releases older than two weeks.

On the other hand, x(ob)snow still works.

Feh.

Returned home to find email from Bear Mountain, claiming that "On
September 9, 2003, Bear Mountain became the first mountain resort in the
country to make snow and open for the 2003/2004 season. It was only for a
one-day photo and film shoot but it still happened."


Never heard about it here, obviously the marketing ploy didn't work...


If they don't *stay* open, then it doesn't count! That would be
cheating. I remember years back when Keystone lived the big
cheat by turning on their lites a couple of hours before
Loveland opened. Unless they ALWAYS open at 7AM, with the lites
on, it is a big fat cheat in my book. Loveland doesn't cheat.
If they open for the season on a M-F, they start loading the lift
at 9AM. If it is Sat-Sun, then 8:30, like they do all season
long. And they *stay* open every day (barring a snow slide) until May.
Now, with A-Basin in the mix this year.....Can't wait to see how
this race turns out! May the best snow makers win.

What exactly are you doing to effect the block? For Mozilla v1.0, the faq
states:

------------------------
2.4. I've heard about 'popup blocking'. How do I do this?

Go to Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Scripts & Windows, and uncheck
the powers you do not want to grant to web pages. Unchecking 'Open
unrequested windows' blocks most unrequested popups.
-------------------------


That's now in preferences/privacy & security/popup windows. In the
/advanced/scripts & plugins area I only allow scripts to read and write
cookies.

I've done this on my Linux box running Redhat 7.1, which is old, with
Mozilla v1.0.1, and it does stick around between invocations.

I suspect that you've either not done the above, or you've done it, but
you have a sticky user preference that is conflicting with it.


I've set the preference that way. I've set it by editing prefs.js and
user.js by hand when mozilla was off. It sticks in neither case, although
checking the 'play a sound' and 'display an icon' boxes sometimes kicks up
a badly-formed box asking me if I want to block cookies. The 'help'
function skips over the popup-blocking feature, which sounds like they
didn't actually get around to implementing it.

See
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs for other ideas.

I've been going around and around in the netscape/mozilla/unix newsgroup.
Apparently I'm one of a small number for which this doesn't work. I put
it down to the gypsy curse and hope that it will have dissipated by the
time 1.7 rolls around. Worse problems to deal with, like trying to get X
to use truetype fonts without a crash that requires a manual fsck.

good luck,
john


Thanks, I need it. Prayers too, just in case...

BTW, I still haven't found anyone who knows when there might be woman's
clinic at Beaver Creek or whom I might contact. (Sven, no word yet from
your suggestion.)

Thanks.
