Thank you, firace!

Now forkle_nsc.exe can be started without problems on this pc

If I change in misc.ini

forkle still throws a message when trying to browse a http site:
"DISALLOWED PROTOCOL: HTTP"

Btw, it does this always two times (the message)

Is AllowHTTPNavigation not what the name implies it to be?

I'm afraid the settings in misc.ini can't be modified yet.

In the meantime, what you can do to allow specific HTTP sites is to add them to the http.ini file (one entry per line) and restart Forkle.

Sorry about that, there was a server issue. It should be OK now.

Went to Snopes to test the ad-blocking of it (they have hundreds!), and it works, but the images are stretched:

A tentative fix for this issue has been added into the latest release, which should also improve image display on some other sites.

Other changes in 0.64.0.321 include some adblocking and performance improvements as well as the following new keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl+N: Open new window
Ctrl+Tab: Cycle between open windows

Hi,

I'm encontering a problem with the new version:
just opens an empty Forkle window.
The previous Forkle version showed the forum page, as expected.

Ouch. Should be fixed now, in version 0.64.0.327.

Fix confirmed. Thank you!

Hi,

I just encountered the following with Forkle 0.64.0.327. After running e.g.

forkle.exe https://www.purebasic.fr/english

Forkle opens the desired page, but the address field is empty. That looks a bit strange.
After clicking at a link, the address field then shows the corresponding address, though.

BTW: The height of the address filed is pretty small (compared e.g. with Firefox or Chrome), so its content is not easy to read, at least for older people like me. IMHO this is also a security problem, when I can't reliably read the address of the current page. So maybe you can increase the height of the address field in Forkle and use a bigger font size?

I remember fixing such an issue a while ago. Please could you try with the latest build (0.65.0.393)?

Sure, I will do some tests.

Oops, I wasn't aware of the new version 0.65.0.393.
I did more tests with this one, and also with the older version 0.64.0.327.
The results are equal with both versions here:

The content of the address field sometimes is shown with a delay. I.e. the content of the respective page is already shown, but the content of the address field is not yet shown, sometimes for a rather long time. So it happened that I clicked at a link on the page, and then saw the new page, without ever having seen the address that I passed as parameter.

//edit:
It seems that resizing the window with the mouse triggers displaying of the url in the address field.

I've tried to address both issues in 0.65.0.415. I can't reproduce the first one though, so it's a bit of a shot in the dark. Could you give the new build a try? Is the address bar font more readable? (I plan to completely redesign the address bar at some later time anyway)

Yes, the address bar font of version 0.65.0.415 is better readable, thank you!
The other issue is still there: A URL passed as command line parameter often is not visible in the address bar, until I'm resizing the Forkle window with the mouse.

Perhaps now? (build 0.65.0.418)

Build 0.65.0.418 works fine.
Thanks for the quick fix!
