Yes, and you (well, not *you* technut :) ) can check the download status by verifying on the menu / tools / Download (guess this is the right translation from italian)

About changing the font size, I follow these instructions and works fine (I've set a value of 15 instead 20).
Regarding the d-pad config, I think you need to hack registry but no sure. Is not as easy as with Opera.

Easiest way to get page up/down is to install http://timeless.justdave.net/maemo/m...updown-0.1.deb

That will make all the config changes for you.

Re: Why Microb is a disaster now?
 

I noticed that my connection hangs a lot --- I don't know if its microB or something else because the same thing used to happen with Opera in OS2007.

Sometimes, I try to go to a site and it just says "connecting". The bar goes back and forth smoothly... like it doesn't stop for a split second to let me know that it is doing something. Even if I hit the green "go" button again, I get nothing. So, I have to disconnect and reconnect --- then, walah! The page comes up immediately.

Like I said, I don't know what's causing it --- I do know that it happens on both my broadband and tethering connection.

P.S. I have not done any restores from backup.

Works like a charm!..thanks ;)

Gee, is this a coincidence, but WFMU is playing Kraftwerk's 'I program my own computer' as I began to write this! Anyway...
I was hoping there was a browser alternative. but I guess not under 2008. Microb is mostly impressive except I really dislike its freezing, essentially, until EVERY LAST element of a page is loaded. Sick of being stuck at, like, 'Loading 499/500'!
Also, there seems to be no caching whatsoever. Each page, even the last one accessed, must completely reload from scratch!

Re: Why Microb is a disaster now?
 

Totally agree!!!! I have had the same problem. Drove me nuts. After a STOP request or a re-enter it would then pop up the full page. In frustration and newbie trial and error, I reinstalled the whole darn OS, pissed me off, and started completely from scratch with no former info or files. I also totally ditched the 'ad-blocker' program....and I must say while there are still some hangs etc , they are greatly reduced without it. ( my wife's unit still has it and it may well be the problem, but I don't really know). That said I will also affirm my connection is a good high speed and the problem only occurs on the tablets.

Re: Why Microb is a disaster now?
 

My experience is that sometimes microbs configuration gets messed up and causes freezes. In that case delete the .mozilla folder and .browser file.

I posted some tips for tweaking Microb in this thread.. Maybe it doesn't solve this particular problem but it makes browsing a tad faster.

Also for adblocking you could use privoxy and/or hosts and usercontent.css file (search the forum for it).

Re: Why Microb is a disaster now?
 

What I thought was a problem with MicroB on my N800 turned out to be a problem with OS2008s aggressive power save setting for WiFi. My router at home couldn't handle having the tablet's signal cut off so much and wasn't holding a good link. Everything else on my network was running well so it didn't look like a network issue.

I went to connection manager, manage connections, selected advanced, went to the 'other' tab, and reduced Power Save Mode to intermediate from high. Browsing is now a pleasure.
