I have developed a browser specifically for use with the UCF, its needs some beta testers so if anyone would like to take a look here is a link: UCN Browser

[2072]

Well it's working fine !

btw: Do you know Avant Browser? It's what I use.

[CrimsonCasio]

thats cool, I made this just to interface with the UCN, and also to provide some translation capabilities. the moniter page option refreshes the page constantly so that if someone is posting a reply to you you will know almost instantly, you will also get PMs as they are sent.

----EDIT----
Small update, browser now translates French to English (it didn't work) and has a link to Graph100.com

[Bob Vila]

works good for me, did you make it in vb?

[Roeoender]

Kinda fun!

You want a bug?
Here it is:
I press "Graph100 Forum" and then want to translate it:
message "Error: The url "http:/" could not be accessed"
Cause: the URL control wasn't updated to new URL
and probably isn't when I follow a link.
Anyway nice - I will use it at school (to show off )
Roe.

[CrimsonCasio]

the bar at the top isn't an address bar, its for entering a url for a page to translate. i may make it an address bar later, but not in this version.

---EDIT---
ok, made the translation bar function as a address bar as well. a funny thing about the translation, it seriously screws up the UCN site but works fine for just about every other page.

[CrimsonCasio]

i just downloaded that Avant Browser, very cool. i like it alot.

[casiokingdom]

when i opened it, it came up with an error after the "crimson casio" logo came on.

?????

[CrimsonCasio]

I dont know why, i get no error.

[casiokingdom]

I'll have to ponder over it.

i'm using the Avant browser right now.

it kicks Internet Explorer.

i think i'll use Avant from know on.

Crimson; i still can't load your browser ??????

[PJay]

Your UCN Browser does not work !

After your logo, The ERROR message is :

" Run-time error '339':
Component 'MSCOMVTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid "

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, I packaged a setup file, download it here, if that doesnt work I dont know what will.

The size of file is too large (8.15 MB)

[CrimsonCasio]

wow, I didn't realize it was so big... I just looked and the reason its so big is because it has a bunch of windows files that install to make sure you have all of them (dll, and other stuff), you probably have most of them already, it will just update them.

the exe is only 56kb

[PJay]

Well it's working fine !

Is Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x better than Avant Browser 8.02 ?

[PJay]

Is UCN Browser better than Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x ?

[CrimsonCasio]

the UCN Browser is just for navagating the UCF. it has a toolbar with links to all the diffrent parts of the ucf plus a feature that lets you constantly refresh a page so that you can see exactly what people are doing as they do it, it also turns the PM system into virtual instant messaging. another cool feature is that it can translate web pages into French, Spanish, and English, making those international sites legible to everyone (the translation is bad, but you will be able to get the idea). the only problem is that the translation part doesnt work on the UCF, but it does on Graph100.com.

[PJay]

Avant Browser 8.02 is not good !
Please see this site in Avant Browser 8.02 AND Microsoft Internet Explorer :

http://www.yahoo.com/

[CrimsonCasio]

looks exactly the same to me...

[2072]

Avant Browser uses Internet Explorer rendering engines (DLLs) so every site should look the same in both BUT in AB you can disable a lot of feature (such as Flash, Images, Javascript, JAVA...) so check your settings.

What is the best Web Browser ?

[rstweb]

for design/graphic-based websites: all webbrowsers with InternetExplorer-Engine
for all other: all browser with mozilla/netscape-engine

it is only my opinion....

[PJay]

To "rstweb" : Internet Explorer 6.x is the best Web Browser ?

[Bob Vila]

it's all a matter of opinion, i personally like ie, i have v5, but my parents prefer netscape 4, becuase of the popups in ie

[Mohamed]

You said it could refresh constantly, how?
I downloaded it and it's quite nice, the only bug is the CrimsonCasio logo at the beginning.

BTW: I just used it without the setup.

[PJay]

BTW: I just used it without the setup.

WHAT ?

[CrimsonCasio]

there are two diffrent files, one that installs all needed files, the other is just an .exe, if the exe doesn't work then you should run the setup program.

PJ, you should use the setup file, dont worry about it being so big, its just because it has lots of dlls, most of which you probably already have.

exe file:
http://www.crimsonca...UCN Browser.exe

setup application:
http://crimsoncasio..../UCNBrowser.zip

[CrimsonCasio]

You said it could refresh constantly, how?

look at the top of the browser, there is a check box that says "Monitor Page" if you check it the page you are viewing will be refreshed every 20 seconds or so, its not constant but its close enough.

try using it to view the online users page, it lets you watch what people are doing.

I'm going to add a few extra features and mabey make a admin version that will have some special stuff.

[PJay]

OK !

[PJay]

100% It created by Visual Basic (v6.0) and you used from IE web browser for it !
And for hide the logo , from TIMER (ms) and . . . !
Yes ?

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, pretty much.

by the way, I've sucsesfully been able to change the background color of the forum with VB, so I'm planning on making way to "skin" the forum.

[PJay]

OK !
Is it a BETA version ?

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah

[PJay]

You can use another 3D Button in your UCN Browser !

[CrimsonCasio]

huh? i dont understand

[PJay]

huh? i dont understand

Back Button , Forward Button , Stop Button and . . . !

[CrimsonCasio]

it has all those. including a serch button, home button, and refresh button.

[PJay]

it has all those. including a serch button, home button, and refresh button.

NO !
3D Button with graphic (for example : Back Button in IE v6.x in Win XP or other icons in Win XP or another pretty icons! )

[CrimsonCasio]
