mona Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Is there anybody here using - Lazarus: Form Recovery (Firefox add-on) ? Lazarus has stopped working completely on nSane after site upgrade. Tested it in PaleMoon and FireFox in W7 x64. Is Lazarus still working for you ? Is it anything I could do to bring back to life this very useful add-on while posting on nSane ? Thanks in advance for all suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 no joe, i was asking Mona if she can get it working on another browser other than Palemoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan, actually I wrote in OP that I tested Lazarus in Palemoon and Firefox, and it doesn't work for me in both browsers I'm talking about NSANE ONLY. On other sites Lazarus works perfectly (including PM and FF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 so this must be a rule in your ad block programs or scripts that prevent lazarus from working properly disable all your ad blocking programs / scripts & retry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover I asked a friend to install and test Lazarus for me. He got exactly the same results. Add blockers or any other add-ons or browser specific settings can't be the culprit since Lazarus works perfectly on any other site (tested on MDL) IT IS THE F...G BUGGY NSANE UPGRADE ! But nobody will dare to say it loud ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Maybe if posted in the forum upgrade bugs can solve the problem then someone could find a solution for this issue, especially the server admins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Sorry for my writing, but new bugs showed off and I can't use apostrophe and use emos now. Edited - Now I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted January 20, 2016 Administrator Share Posted January 20, 2016 We are sad to hear about your problem. While I cannot provide you a fix for it, the addon was last updated almost 5 years ago, with no fixes made since then, so do not expect them to work on newer IPB as lot of backside changes have been made. I'm mentioning this as there are chances that this update would have had absolutely no bugs nor any problems, yet, the addon would have not worked. I suggest you try the addon mentioned above. I am sure there are newer updated addons out there for this purpose that may work on all the newer forum updates. I must mention though, this new update of IPB is quite efficient in saving written text. Previously, you refresh the page and everything was gone, even if you tried to restore it, only some of it could be brought back as it took text backups at a particular intervals. But not after this update. You refresh the page and the text is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not after this update. You refresh the page and the text is still there. Unfortunately it's not always true. Only yesterday I lost 2 posts and 1 long PM in that way. Saving process was frozen (another bug) so I had to reload the page. After that all my content was GONE ! The other time page kept strangely reloading many times (!) - one by one - without any of my action or reason. My both posts were also LOST !! Later during the day yesterday (I was still testing Lazarus in many configurations) the situation changed and the content was really saved i.e. after page reloding, but if it happens RANDOMLY ONLY - as it does now, it doesn't have any practical use for me. So please don't make me laugh with that "efficiency of saving written text". The truth is I am facing tens of ridiculous bugs every time I want to post something on nSane (example from yesterday : smileys that appear in completely random places in the post, always different from the right one). The result is that I loose a lot of my precious time for things that shouldn't ever happened. I have many friends here, but I'm quite near to the decision of switching my main activity to MDL rather where they don't expose users to the massive frustration we are into here now.

This is Lazarus info I found in my browser add-on section. It clearly says Lazarus was last updated October 20th, 2015. So where is the truth ?

Kalju Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 ExtensionLazarus: Form Recovery for Chrome Version: 3.0.6 Updated: October 3, 2014 ExtensionLazarus: Form Recovery for Firefox Version 2.3.1-signed Released August 4, 2011 246.8 kB Works with Firefox 3.0 - 15.* These are the latest available changes, but nothing isn't changed for firefox, only the max version number in the .rtf file. 2.3.1-signed (2014-05-08 22:37:14) Also the author's website is no longer available. If you know more this thing, then I do not know how you managed to install it at all. You probably have changed own maxVersion number itself. This is the latest .rtf what is available.

PS It's exactly what I did yesterday. Sad to hear about your problems. I personally cannot reproduce the problems you are having. However, we are open to reproduce them and report them to IPB, as only they can fix it. I must mention, IPB's updates are known for bugs and problems. All major IPB updates fix many bugs and introduce many. That is why we never update immediately. Example, we did not update when IPB 4.0 released a year ago, but waited for 4.1 instead. Think how many bugs 4.0 would have had. So, how is the Form History Control addon working. Even I might try it. 17 hours ago, mona said: You may be right, you may be wrong.

Mozilla started signing addons some time ago as only signed addons are allowed to work in the newer version of Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
