Hi, I hope we can solve your problems.

That shouldn't happen, I myself often use a proxy to access the site.
If somehow you are in the position where it tries to serve compressed
HTML to speed up downloading, many proxies are buggy and can't handle
it. However, the site has a mechanism to detect this and it should
not happen a second time. It would probably be more helpful if the
buggy proxies were fixed, though.

I don't have that problem. Which Konqueror do you use and which Netscape
do you use? I've been to the site thousands of times and my browser has
never crashed.
May I suggest the text option for you? It's quite a bit lighter.

That's a bug in your browser, hopefully that will get fixed. Once
the 2.0.1 version is out we can start thinking about dealing with
khtml quirks to make things work better, until now it's been improving
too quickly to make it worth it.

There is no need to accept cookies to use the site and there is no
need to turn off filtering proxies. It uses HTML just like every other
site, though if your browser says it accepts gzip'd data it may actually try to send it, since it can't know there is a buggy proxy in the way. If you have any particular problems that can't be resolved with
a reload please write me, we are always working to make the site better. |
