Hello MRO!

FYI.. the site does not render with MyPal or Palemoon on my XP
pc.

yeah dude but that's something to bring up with your mypal developers.
they might welcome the information so they can fix it.

No big deal. But I do find it ironic that that a "modern" OS
and "latest browsers" are needed to observe a site that is
designed to look like something from the 80's. :D

Although I still use MyPal for better performance with certain
sites, I've basically migrated to PaleMoon since it's the only
one that can handle the newfangled java crap at bookmanager.com
and thehub.harpercollins.com. I doubt that the folks at MyPal
would bother to fix it.

This is odd. I just did the complete opposite on my XP VM (switched from Palemoon to MyPal) because Palemoon didn't handle half of the sites I
visited, yet Mypal did.

FYI, both of the two addresses you posted look fine to me in MyPal (I
didn't bother creating an account or logging in to the second one, but
the intro and everything up to the login window worked fine).

Nick

FYI, I also tested rgbbs.info in both MyPal on a WinXP VM, as well as
Firefox on my Windows 11 PC, and they both act the exact same.

The right box (whether it be WHATDONE.TXT or any of the other ones on
the other links) does go over the top of the left box(es) on both, when
you're using your browser on half of a standard size screen resolution.

If you up your resolution to something more than 800x600 or whatever XP installs stock with, and widen your browser to more than half of your
screen, it should display fine. I'm using 1920x1080p on my XP VM, and 2560x1440 on my Windows 11 PC, for the record. My guess is that you
could probably go a bit less than what I have on my XP VM, since I
didn't have to widen the browser the whole width of the screen in order
for it to display correctly.

Nick

Hello Accession!

Something started to work. It seems to be cooperating with
Palemoon now:

https://ibb.co/VQj10k4

I did have to zoom out quite a bit! It's best on a large screen
I guess. Mine screen is 4:3 1400x1050 on a T60. Maybe move
the Navigation menu to operate across the top of the screen,
and that will reduce the need to have your site zoomed out.

And for what it' worth, MyPal is ok with it now too. Hmmmm.

yeah i downloaded mypal. The site shows up the same as other browsers. I think ogg has problems with his system.

Also https://renegadebbs.net/ shows up fine in the browser.

The bookmanager site should have a "LOGIN" button at the top
right. With MyPal it does not show for me.

The harpercollins site should produce a login pop-up. It does
not with MyPal.

BTW.. MyPal 29.3.0 here.

Definitely shows for me.

Might be time to upgrade. It looks I'm using 64.14.4b (32-bit) portable.

Well.. THAT's interesting. I thought 29.3.0 was the last one
that supported native XP. Dunno, but maybe your XP VM can
support a later version?

I'll look for 64.14.4b and give that a try. Thx.

Maybe you're confusing that with Palemoon, as they went on to support
more Windows versions. IIRC, Mypal is strictly /for/ XP. So give the
latest version a try and see if it works.

I believe I have the "portable" one, so there is no installer, just a
zip file containing an exe and maybe a few other files.

Nick
