Hang on, I am currently using SM 2.7.2 and it works exactly as it;s supposed to, as far as I am concerned. If SM does not do what you require, stop bitching and help the SeaMonkey team by providing some solutions to *YOUR* problems. (I'm guessing that's how the SeaMonkey team started!!) Snip Yes, I understand there are users who are satisfied with the newer versions. But when evaluating a version I read the complaints and decide if they are about something that also I will be unhappy with. And it has been so, to many times. What, do you want the happy campers to complain about how happy they are?? Sorry, It just my feeling I guess, Yes. Snip That's what a lot of complaints has been about, the upgrading has not been straightforward. And I don't care about the download history either. It's not the SM team's problem if the authors of the add-ons that you rely on cannot be bothered to keep things up-to-date!! Well, not everybody likes changes, I concede. But it's pretty hard to avoid them. But you are trying to avoid it.and blaming everyone else!! I guess I have to change my Internet habits and in the future settle with just what is strictly necessary, like paying my bills. :\ -- Daniel ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Interviewed by CNN on 25/02/2012 16:11, Arne told the world: I may update sometime in the future, if the developers can make the newer versions work as we (as users) want it to work. At the moment there has been to much complaints about all new versions, after 2.0.14, about issues I don't like in the newer versions. Well, you have to take into account that in every endeavor, the complaints are always heard louder than the praise. There are lots of people -- including me -- perfectly happy with the new versions of Seamonkey. We just aren't as prone to mention it in this forum. Do you have any specific concerns that are keeping you from upgrading? Perhaps we can clear up some points or offer an acceptable alternative. I'm also sick of updating the browser several times every moth, with the following hassle to get it work the same way as before the update, with e.g. add-ons and extensions I need but don't work. Well, I wouldn't say several times a month. It's supposed to be once every six weeks, but there has been on average about one intermediate chemspill update between those, to address can't-wait serious issues that have been recently discovered. But those chemspill updates tend to change very little that's visible to the user. Making add=ons work has become actually easier recently. Now in many cases Seamonkey will by default accept an add-on even if technically it is marked as incompatible. For other cases, the easiest workaround is to install the Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension. Since the easiest way now to update, is to unistall 2.0.14 and start from scratch with a new version, I am in the process to move all my new mail correspondence to an other mail software, so I at least have them safe when/if the time comes to upgrade. Also bookmarks is to be saved as a web page. Well, I wouldn't say that's the easiest way. Upgrading from 2.0.x to higher versions is usually straightforward: just download the latest version and install it over the old one. If you really, really want to preserve your download history (most users don't care), you can upgrade to 2.1.x as an intermediate step. Of course, backing up your profile is a sensible precaution. Isn't it always? But starting from scratch -- with a clean slate -- does have its points, I admit. It's more work, since you have to redo just about all your settings, but you will arguably end up with a more stable system, not carrying as much old cruft. Re bookmarks... yeah, in 2.1 and higher those are stored in a database, no longer in bookmarks.html. But if you like having bookmarks.html available, there's an option (I forget what it is, since I don't use it) to tell Seamonkey to auto-export an updated bookmarks.html every time it closes down. I have tried some other browsers, in case I have to abandon SM. Also use them if I have to, but I don't like the way all new browser versions are taking. I like what I have now with SM 2.0.14 and would appreciate if new versions could stay that way. Well, not everybody likes changes, I concede. But it's pretty hard to avoid them. Not only is the Internet moving on, with what were newfangled experimental capabilities a couple years ago now in the process of becoming basic requirements for many sites, but also there's the security problem. Security flaws are discovered all the time, and older, no longer supported version aren't going to be fixed. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

With SM I always notice it because something always get to the point that I have to fix in one way or an other. Not always hard to do, but still what I want to do to keep everything as it was and how I want it to be, if possible. Making add=ons work has become actually easier recently. Now in many cases Seamonkey will by default accept an add-on even if technically it is marked as incompatible. For other cases, the easiest workaround is to install the Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension. As it was way back at least, I hardy get them work after an update before a new update was announced. So I used to hold the updates until I was sure there was at least the most valuable (for me) add-ons that was compatible with the version I updating to. So I have always been a bit behind with the SM updates. Well, I wouldn't say that's the easiest way.
