I'm quite sure I fixed it. See next version.

It's changed it - it now does nothing!!

Yep, me too.

It does make one wonder if having this facility is worth the effort? Personally, I can live happily without it even if there were a lot more tips. I think search linking in help files the Wiki far more useful.

Suggest it is rested until more time is available.

Hihi, incredible. Could you please right-click one of the links in the A-list and then select "Copy Link" (or so... translated from German), and paste that copy into your reply here. Thanks!

UPDATE: I get this for the first link: about:blank§#§0

Interesting. But should work anyway.

The links at the bottom of tip #3: "See also Quick Name Search, How to set a Visual Filter. " Do they also fail to work?

Well no (tip 4 not 3) no action but clicking on XYplorer link above works but and for me this is not good it loads IE. I have FF which has a plug in to handle IE links.

I get "about:§#§0" for the first tip, and the links at the bottom of tip #4 result in "about:§#§4" and "about:§#§5" respectively...

Yep, I was one-off because my source code version of XY uses a different out-dated copy of tipoftheday.htm.

Anyway, we'll see what the next BETA brings...

TOTD:
Now, (at work), with XY 6.40.0003, on XP-SP2 and IE 6.0.2900.2180, all is OK.

IE 6 always worked. IE 7 is the pig...

graham · Post by **graham** » 16 Oct 2007 14:14

Yep all working here except -

In tip 4 there is a link to XYPlorer which an selection opens in IE and not FF which is the default. If I go to the link XYPlorer from this beta forum it opens in FF.
Is this down to my settings or controlled by XY?

Gandolf · Post by **Gandolf** » 16 Oct 2007 14:35

Yep all is good.

The link to the XYwiki in tip#3 also opens I.E. However, the links from the Help menu open the default browser (in my case Opera).
