texture resources

[Jim_Allen]

I just upgraded to 12.5 and tried to import the texture files into my resource browser. I used the add new favorites

After importing them I cannot find any textures IE: stone -

the files are blank.

Anyone know what is going on?

Check to make sure you have the textures resources as a visible resource.

Click on the arrow next to "Resources" and then go to Show Types - make sure there's a checkmark next to Textures.

Thanks Katie that was it, but I am confused as to how the settings changed?

BTW

Have your heard anything concerning the login issue I emailed you about last spring. It appears that the login still won't "remember me" and my autofill still does not work with the login screen. i do not have this problem with any other login.

Thanks

The login and autofill is something in the browser, not the message board system.

Try removing the cache and cookies and see if that fixes it.

If not, try another browser and see if the information is stored.

Also, if you are using Mozilla, check for updates. They've released a few updates lately that have fixed a number of issues.

I don't know how it would have changed if you didn't change it manually.

Katie,

I use Netscape 8.1 and your's is the only site my autofill will not work with. I deleted cookies, the autofill and recreated another autofill - still does not work -- The password will insert but not the login name. Since it is the only site I have problems with (I have about 20 other autofill sites) I have to believe it is a problem with the login.

Jim,

With all due respect, no one else has reported a problem and we have over 4000 active accounts.

Katie,

Have you tried Netscape 8.1 and autofill to see if it just my problem?

I went into all my other autofills and looked at them compared to VW.

What is happening, after several re-checks, is that when the autofill is created the VW login page is supplying additional data fields and values for that field:

1) rememberme with a value of true

2) loginname with a value that is blank

If I go and delete these additional fields thus removing any addtional fields with values or put the value of my login name into the loginname value field, the autofill works just like all my other sites.

Is appears that the VW login supplies additional data fields with values that prevent the autofill from filling in the loginname correctly, but not the password.

I understand that many people use the login, but how many use Netscape and autofill?

Also maybe other people were able to figure out the problem and the work around solution.

But it is an issue with how the loging page supplies data fields and values to autofill. If it did not supply the additional fields or would fill the loginname field insted of leaving the value blank the autofill would work.

I assume that autofill:

1) polls the site to get the data fields for login.

2) does not create them without getting the data from the site

3) Does not need the additional fileds to work correctly.

The question then becomes why VW login supplies this additional data, and in a format that prevents autofill from working correctly.

There is a obvious miscommunication issue here between VW and Autofill. Maybe it is a problem with Autofill, but if it was why don't I have problems with other sites?
