Those of you that have a freight shed, and want to test the new interface, can go here.

I’ve tested it with XP/Firefox, XP/IE and OSX/Firefox it works ok. Bruce Chandler says there are some odd visual issues with Vista/IE.
Test away!
It looks really nice, Bob.
I’m about this close to downgrading to XP from Vista. It’ll be a pain, but then it’s over. Not continous like Vista.
Thanks Bruce
I should mention that unless someone comes up with a showstopper error in the next day or two, Ill roll this into the existing freight sheds.
Bob,
I can only delete one file, then I get an “error on page” on the bottom of the screen and I cannot delete any more files.

XP Internet explorer
Just went back and same thing. Can only delete one and she freezes up.
John,
That’s exactly what I see with Vista. Maybe it’s really the latest IE? I just have this tendency to blame everything on Vista lately…
It’s not that it’s frozen up; for instance, you can still double click on a file to view it. It’s just that you can’t highlight it, which of course means you can’t delete it. You can reload the page (F5), or refresh and it will work again, but only for another file.
I wonder if it’s a security thing.
I just tried it on my XP system and got the same problem. Error on page - and it mentions “permission denied”.
On the XP system, it’s IE 7.0.5730.11. On Vista, it’s IE 7.0.6000.16575. They must change it on a daily basis to get numbers like that!
Yep,
Same thing here.
Hmm…both IE 7.whatever? Im using 6.0.2600.morenumbers
Hrm…
I guess the message is to stay on XP and IE 6…
Ill have to set up a VM on a work machine to test it out… no clue what would be different between IE6 and IE7 to cause that
John Bouck said:John, you have Vista or XP? and IE v7?
Yep, Same thing here.
xp & ie7, Bob.
'Course its notta big deal. I can just refresh everytime I want to delete.

Thanks John
This is bizarre. Its some kind of new security, cross-frame,something stupid that they put into the latest IE.
Testing, please wait…
That’s right, Bob. It’s a recent security mod to IE, designed to protect user data. Just found this out today. Let me know if you need more info.
It seems to be a case of one group of Microsoft guys inadvertently (we hope) writing code that breaks what another bunch of Microsoft guys have written. It’s not the first time this has happened.
Dave, do you have any more detailed information about it? I havent been able to find anything useful in the MS knowledge base about it.
I shouldn’t pick on Vista because I’m a Mac user but I know a number of people who were forced into Vista that have been able to dump it and go back to XP!
Bob McCown said:Microsoft has recently introduced DEP (Data Execution Prevention), which gave my mate heaps of trouble just before Christmas. He auto-updates - GRRR!!!
Dave, do you have any more detailed information about it? I havent been able to find anything useful in the MS knowledge base about it.
Apparently DEP integrates IE7 with the Win OS to prevent malicious code being run when a file is opened. Unfortunately, compressed media files (e.g., DivX) have code embedded in them that’s SUPPOSED to run when the file is opened! Apparently this code determines codec selection, among other things.
The upshot is that my mate couldn’t open any of his media files. That was not good.
On an XP box, check out Control Panel => System => Advanced and click the Settings button in the Performance panel. You’ll see a Data Execution Prevention tab. My guess is that no one wants the second radio button or the Add/Remove list box. My mate beat his problem by selecting the top button (turn DEP on for essential Windows programs and services only).
This issue may be related to what’s described here:

Looks like files can be signed if they must run code. It’s a good idea in theory. I wonder how many signed DivX files there are out there . . . .
