And an important point on the legal side:Web-browser, advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client, IRC chat, and HTML editing made simple—all your Internet needs in one application.
And:Under the hood, SeaMonkey uses much of the same Mozilla Firefox source code which powers such products as Thunderbird. Legal backing is provided by the SeaMonkey Association (SeaMonkey e.V.).
Also, according to Wiki the SeaMonkey HTML editor still creates code to Transitional 4.01.Seamonkey is incompatible with new Reddit, it's probably incompatible with your bank, it doesn't work properly with the Microsoft portals, there are just a lot of websites that will not work because the rendering engine is so out of date.
And I also wish to point out that the topic is not how cool one browser or another may be on the Net as a whole, but how it interacts with this site. Or this software.I might add that I am aware of shortcomings Seamonkey has in certain interactions between it and a fair number of sites on the Net, but I guess I didn't know that to be the case between Seamonkey and a phpBB platform.
What are the actual errors you are encountering here? Are you getting errors in the browser console or is something else happening? Generally most browsers share the same underlying engine (like Chromium or WebKit etc) so an issue on one browser might be related to the browser engine rather than the specific browser alone.vfwgmg wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2024 11:32 am BUT AGAIN, I'm not asking for opinions about any given browser, but asking how 'now' two browsers might have problems when used with this site or this software.
My point was that you cannot expect continued support for obsolete browsers that have insignificant usage share stats. In practice, nobody will bother supporting them. Life's too short. So it's not surprising that you have had problems trying to use SeaMonkey here, nor is anyone likely to bother doing anything about that.vfwgmg wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2024 11:32 am I appreciate your contribution to this discussion, Gumboots, but I ought to point out that I have already made note of the fact that the SeaMonkey browser is a problem on some other sites:

Post count incrementing is disabled for the General Discussion forum. It is not a bug.vfwgmg wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:17 pm Oh, by the way, have any of you noticed that my post count has remained at 9 since I returned a few days or so ago?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all complaining. I think that is mighty cute. I hope it stays at 9 for the remainder of what few years I have left.
But I do have to take that into account as I do the troubleshooting phase when I collect that data I need.
I'd say that post count got stuck due to an update of this site between the last time I was here many years ago and then returned very recently.
Staff, please don't fix that. If the rules allow for that to remain at 9.

If you found a bug, then there is a tracker for that.
I appreciate your extra effort here to make sure I am paying attention to advice being offerred. Thank you. But I did make note, in my files at this workstation, of your earlier post. Possibly I should have responded in a post here to you earlier.

And I came on this site this time using the FireFox browser....
That folder stores all your personal data; cookies, history, bookmarks, etc. It is most certainly going to be required for normal browser operations on any site.vfwgmg wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:09 pmthat might indicate that a certain folder <AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Profiles\THIS ONE> --- that folder may now have data in it that allows for a smooth use of the browser with this platform
