Hey everyone I have installed k-meleon but I can't seem too properly access the following link: http://www.yahoo.com.au I like too vote in the online polls but the site tells me that I should install Firefox or IE if you can help me solve this problem that would be fantastic.

Change your "User Agent" to Firefox, Opera or Seamonkey.
You should find the menu point to do that still in the
menu "Tools" in all versions.
Many sites simply seem not to know that K-Meleon exists
and is a modern safe browser.

Fred

Thanks for that I un-installed SeaMonkey but I was not too sure if I could still use the user agent setting for that particular browser.

From my own experience the best string to "spoof" is the Firefox 2.0.0.8 or later.

Use the Privacy Bar (activate via View > Toolbars... & then right click on the most to the right hand item called User Agent...) ... to choose from the list.

else You can go to Edit Preferences > Privacy to set the User Agent String to Yahoo's liking

p. s. Yahoo wants spoofed Agent Strings & K-Meleon is prepared for this job

IMHO we can all agree: At Yahoo they simply do not know that only the version of the Gecko-rendering engine not the browser matters.

Just a few more questions:

1: How can I make the icons bigger in k-Meleon
2: How can I have the default font size larger so I don't have too use the zoom feature all the time.
3: How can I create multiple profiles as I used 2 profiles when running SeaMonkey.

1.Go to Edit > Preferences and change the skin Phoenity
to Phoenity Large.
Restart the browser.

2.Go to Edit > Configuration > User Settings .
user.js will spring up.
Add below the dotted line :

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western",0);
user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-unicode",0);

Close the browser first and save then
user.js to its origin, as "all files" not as "txt" .
Restart the browser.

3.Go to Edit > Manage Profiles and press New to create a
new profile. Restart the browser and choose the
wanted profile in the dialog box.

Fred

P.S.

In 2. you have to replace the number 0 at te end of the
command with for example 14 or whatever minimal font size
you want. Don-t forget the semicolons at the end.

Fred

Thank you very much for that it's working great now.

If I may butt in. I am using the line
"user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western",0);" to set the minimum font size in 1.5a1.
But I am NOT usning the line
"user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-unicode",0);"
Does it really matter that I am not using the second line of code?

Thanks.

This concerns only pages written in international unicode.
They are probably not so frequent, and the text would be
shown anyhow, but would not have the bigger size.
So to set the minimal font for x-western should be sufficient.

Fred

I'm also curious too know whether K-Meleon is going too have a spell checker in the future like Firefox & SeaMonkey.

Dose anyone know the code for the Australian English?.

Maybe you can find language code here http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php

en-AU ( first the language in small letters - then the COUNTRY in big letters // e.g. de-DE = german-GERMANY / de-AT german-AUSTRIA ).

Mostly: You use two letter for most major languages and coutries.
Some (small language) groups may have alternative three letter codes
(hsb-DE upper sorbian-GERMANY or wen-DE refering to both Sorbian Language groups).

You get the codes from the list linked by JamesD.


For the newest Australian K-Meleon You would have: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-AU; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071116 K-Meleon/1.1.3

AFAIK the change is set in about:config "intl.content.langcode" where You set en-AU instead of en-US.

Thanks for all your help but I have noticed when I start k-meleon sometimes the menus take up half the page & the browser crashes, I was just wanting too know if anyone else has had this problem.
