    Exclamation Thread Tools doesn't work in Google Chrome

    The web browser Google Chrome doesn't display the little arrow next to Thread Tools, and thus, people cannot mark threads as resolved. Just letting ya know.

    Re: Thread Tools doesn't work in Google Chrome

    Thanks, we are aware of it already - it is a "feature" of Google Chrome.

    Like many other features of this site, the Thread Tools menu uses JavaScript to operate, and Google Chrome doesn't support JavaScript (yet?).

    I went through all the options and there's nothing about Javascript. Must still not support it. =/

    Thanks Si.

    Re: Thread Tools doesn't work in Google Chrome

    I was going through the google chrome help pages to tell them to fix their browser and I came across this:

    "Google Chrome sets a time limit for JavaScript actions on a website to complete, as a precaution against errors in websites."

    So it does allow/run Javascript. But the timing thing may be messing it up. The timing feature can't be disabled, but I'm gonna dig a little more.

    This article should shed some light upon Chrome and its V8 engine. Its a speed issue that doesnt look like there is a solution.

    Yes it does! I just tested one of my websites that uses javascript as part of the process to display the flash buttons and the buttons display correctly. Also, there is built-in javascript debugger in Google Chrome. If Google Chrome didn't support javascript then why did the developers decide to include a javascript debugger in the browser?

    Chrome supports javscript, no question there. I will have a look at this, this afternoon.

    It looks like the drop down doesn't work, but it does show the contents of the drop downs at the bottom of the page. And if you click on the links, it takes you to to the bottom of the page.

    It only stays open at the top. It's done through [ctrl]+B, or in the drop-down wrench button.

    The article just says that V8, the new system built for Google Chrome to run Javascript is faster, because it was designed from the ground up to remove bottlenecks. It doesn't say anything about loss of functionality.

    I still can't find any reason vbforums shouldn't be working right on Chrome. The only other limitations i've found is some coding n00bs who rely some code on browser checks that haven't added functionality for Chrome yet (like www.fox.com's movie player).

    Re: Thread Tools doesn't work in Google Chrome

    Well the article states its the fastest processing engine so I think it should validate the asumption that it could be a security timeout issue

    Also, FF's new beta version is faster then IE8 too so we shall see if there is any FF issues with vB

    Hey,

    @koolsid, I think this is as a result of the forum upgrade. That definitely didn't work yesterday, but it is now.

    Hmm, really, that is interesting. I have been using Google Chrome constantly for the last two weeks, and today was the first time that I have been able to see that menu?!?!

    I have been switching between Chrome and Firefox and did not find that option earlier. Now I am able to mark a thread as resolved in chrome.

    Yeah. I have been using Chrome for about a month and never had the option until yesterday as well.
