| Just the last couple of days I've found that OWB hangs when attempting to browse facebook.
It also affects like buttons etc on other site.
It seems that it might be related to a cookie as when I deleted my cooki database it started working very briefly, long enough to log bavk in then look at two pages before it hung again. I suppose facebook must have replaced the "dodgy cookie"
Any one else seen this? Got a solution?
It's a pain to swith my noisy linux box on just to visit facebook! _________________ BroadBlues On Blues BroadBlues On Amiga Walker Broad |

Yep, you'll have to delete cookiCollecion.db in OWB's drawer and it'll be ok. _________________ PowerMac G5 2,7Ghz - 2GB - Radeon 9650 - MorphOS 3.14 AmigaONE X1000, 2GB, Sapphire Radeon HD 7700 FPGA Replay + DB 68060 at 85Mhz |

Or write protect it, thats what I did. Also have urlhistory.xml write protected & WebpageIcons.db read & write protected. urlhistory.xml tends to grow over time & slow owb startup. Last edited by sundown on 31-Mar-2011 at 07:19 PM.

You can also go into OWB's tooltypes and change the location to RAM:
COOKIEDB=RAM:cookieCollection.db
That way the cookiecollection file will be automatically erased every time you turn off your Amiga._________________ 'unfixed' A1XE, 512mb RAM, plug-in USB card, Sil 0680 IDE card, Radeon 9250, built-in sound, OS4.1 update 5. |

I have the very same problem on SAM, but not on A1XE. Strange |

Nope, write protect appraoch doesn't work either, whichever approach I used to restrict the saving of cookies, facebook takes out OWB afetr one or two page loads, then I have to restart OWB to view any other facebook page. (this include pages with like buttons on, which although viewable never competely load due ot the like button content stivking) Guess I'll have to wait for Timberwolf / OWB-MUI

Now it seems linkedin has a similar problem, I wonder what has changed, it certainly seems cookie related but write protecting 'cookies jars' doesnot help, must be s per session cookie causng the problem.

I've noticed a similar issue with MUI-OWB. I clicked open some comments and the text layout was screwed up; all on one line way out through the border. I tried to mark the text and MUI-OWB gave me an ISI deep inside the WebCore. Must be a bug on facebook that triggered another bug in webkit._________________ - Don't get fooled by my avatar, I'm not like that (anymore, mostly... maybe only sometimes)  > Amiga Classic and OS4 developer for OnyxSoft. |

Doesn't seem to happen in any recent webkit/owb, at least.

The AMIGA platform is so desperate for a decent browser, without one the platform just will not move forward as more and more is being done over the web...
Timberwolf can't come soon enough...

I get no corruption or layout quirks in my case, after a certain point facebook simple stops loading, once that occurs, no facebook content, beit a facebook page or a like button on another site, will load.
Deleting my cookie db starts it working again, but it usually only works for 2 or 3 pages.
It could be a webkit bug, might also be a curl bug as IIRC OWB uses curl to handle all the http stuff.

I have the same problems since beginning with any Reaction OWB release, maybe somethings related to LibCURL, maybe not, i asked Joerg many time but he doesn't have any "real" Facebook account so we didn't be able to test it deeply  _________________ BACK FOR THE FUTURE

Could have been a fluke as well. Prior memory corruption. Usually get lockups or fail to kill the screenblanker when I come back to the computer after running MUI-OWB. It really isn't quite bugfree yet (the OS4 version)._________________ - Don't get fooled by my avatar, I'm not like that (anymore, mostly... maybe only sometimes)  > Amiga Classic and OS4 developer for OnyxSoft. |

Do you know of any "How to" for OWB?
Its not clear to me if I am expected to overwrite my current OWB directory or am obliged to create a new directory.
Do you know of any OWB-centric presence that consolidates info about troubles and work-arounds?
I'm getting lost in the Reaction|MUI|multi_Amiga_platform information.
If you know of a FAQ for OWB, lemme know.
The www.strohmayer.org/OWB is quiet on nearly all of the above.

I don't use facebook, so I can't comment on any issues there.
Are you using OWB 3.31 or OWB 3.32 ?
