IBrowse2.3 -- I have no choice now!
« on: February 25, 2003, 11:29:08 PM »
Yup, the whole uploading an avatar think has forced me to spend the
$Too_Much for IBrowse.

So, does anyone else know what other things IBrowse does that
Voyager/Aweb cannot do, or cannot do well?  

Thanks guys!


Regards,
Targhan

SWAUG:  Excellent article!  I enjoyed it.  While it was definately pro-IBrowse, it was sure footed enough to make me feel better about purchasing the product.


I have by the way just registered.  Now, does anyone know how long IOSpirit takes to process these things?

Regards,
Targhan

Well, if I'm going to be any webmastering on these community sites--I needed IBrowse as well as the other two (I've had Voyager the longest).

As far as features, I have to say the one I'm most pleasantly surprised with is the support for ContactManager.  I prefer the single point access for url's.  Although, I do hope anyone else using this feature realizes that the occational backup is a VERY good thing.

I had no problem using V to download.  So far, it looks like I can do some things with IB that I cannot do with Voyager, but it doesn't do enough to replace Voyager.

It is nice.  I think my money was well spent.

Hmm, I'd like to try v2.3 to see if it's worth changing from Voyager.


Well, the refreshing on Amiga.org works better on Amiga.org.  Enough said :-D

With the careful application of "MUI preference stroking," IBrowse can be cleaned up to look fairly nice. :-)

I've killed the button borders, which looks far nicer on this system.  Too bad the IBrowse authors found a way to put images on text(!??!) buttons, so now my fast-link buttons are borderless too...  I'm not even going to mention how horrible the buttons inside a webpage looks...  There's a feature for 2.4, put the images on image-buttons--that's what they are there for!

That's my biggest complaint so far; I guess that isn't much of a complaint in the grand scheme of things.
