Hi @salass00 2 updates for OS4.1 on AmigaOne as well. Umm, i re-registerd and converted my OS4.0 &OS4.1 registrations and checked the downloads. It showed no files! Thanks Hyperion for the new web site it looks great!
> Use ClipDown from OS4Depot for download capability in OWB.
No thanks, I use IB most of the time. I do not like the Reaction interface in OWB so only use it for a few sites that IB fails with.
Anyway you can download the new files in IB but the CSS layout of the new site is awful.
Few sites??? LOL. Almost 99,99% of modern website. I just suggest to you to give newer OWB (and after installing AISS) a try. It is fast and modern. The GUI is simple but nice, much more better than the old version.
Why use CSS, why not standrad HTNL that is guaranteed to work on any browser ?
Bill.
I think the problem is about you and not about browsers. CSS are standard. A modern website without CSS??? I would consider Hyperion unprofessional. Just use OWB, you can't blame Hyperion for this. You have the tools, if you don't use them it is just your fault.

Same here, re-registered OS4.0 & OS4.1 for A1 and no update files.

EDIT: Ok, solved the problem.
Click ?Downloads? which brings you to a list of your available downloads.
Click on the link that follows the yellow directory icon, this brings you to the same page.
Click on the same link again, this brings you to the same page agian. This time the files will be there.
What a slap in the face to Amiga users. OWB can't do downloads and the standard workhorse of the Amiga OS is discouraged.
Because the standard Amiga workhorse is getting old.

I expect this from banks and non-Amiga sites that do not know any better but for the main Amiga OS site to insist we use another computer to do things is EXTREMELY BAD.
I really don't get what your problem is. OWB works perfectly well, so what is the issue?

For what it's worth, CSS is a standard, and it is such since November 1997 when CSS 2.0 was released (not even counting CSS 1.0 here). It took Amiga browsers this long to catch up, which in itself is already quite shameful.

Is this 'progress' just for its own sake ?
No, it's progress. Plain and simple. Your line of argument could get us back to the good old 80x25 Text terminals - after all, who needs all that fancy graphics stuff.

BTW. The site does look really crap in IBrowse, odd that they did it this way as that is the browser MOST Amiga users will be using !
Actually, it's not true. If I look at the usage statistics on friedenhq.net, most Amiga users use Firefox under Windows or Linux, which is a clear indication that there is something wrong with AmigaOS' browser selection. Thankfully, OWB fills the gap now, and it only needs a few more features like Download support to be a full replacement.
Yes, the site looks crap in IBrowse. That's IBrowse' fault, not the web site. If you run it through a standards compliance test, it will show you that it adheres to current web standards. Unfortunately, IBrowse doesn't.
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to bash IBrowse here. I know that there is probably little incentive to work on an ambitious project like a CSS-capable AmigaOS browser. All I am trying to say is that time didn't stand still, and now that we have actual access to CSS browsers, I don't see any reason whatsoever to stick with an outdated HTML only page (if you can find a CMS that actually works without CSS anymore) just for a trip down memory lane.
Seriously, if you do want to contact me write me a mail. You're more likely to get a reply then.

When I set up my website, I originally wanted to use just plain HTML, but I quickly gave up on that idea. CSS makes layout and style much easier to do.
It's a pity that Ibrowse 3.0 still isn't here (I'm not expecting it to come any more), but we finally have OWB and NetSurf (just wish Netsurf had javascript too).
Instead of slowing down website developers, we should be encouraging further development of OWB.
classic and SAM registered fine and SAM updates retrieved
but for me too Pre-OS for A1 serial invalid
guess there is a continuing glitch there OR Pre-OS for A1 has been scrapped
thanks for the work all involved...
onwards and upwards!

Never checked those, I took a mainstream CMS because I needed to be able to write the registration and download components, and have developer support for it. Plus, Joomla has a good number of extensions available which we might need at one point.

When I made FriedenHQ, I used MediaWiki and managed to get it IBrowse-compatible, but the result looks mediocre at best and is hard to maintain as a non-wiki site, so I am considering switching it over to Joomla as well.
CSS has been around since ages (CSS 2.0 came out November 1997), so there is no point in NOT using it. It's about the same as stating that PNG is bad and GIF should be used instead.
