I downloaded a nightly a few days ago, just wanted to check out how it was going. I have to say it is going rather well, looking good.

I am using Webpositive and having a problem with gmail.

First, I discovered that you have to add the "s" in https: yourself, webposite will not add it for you. I was then able to get to youtube, and gmail..

I can't seem to log into gmail though. It just sits on authenticating... I have not tried to log into Youtube, or Facebook yet.

Any ideas?

hi there.

i'm using an ibm x31 with beos 5 max and haiku-partitions. everything was working fine (including lan/wlan) until a few months ago.
for some reasons and without any modifications the lan doesn't work on beos/haiku and wlan-connections under haiku failed, too.
(beos is rejecting both standard-drivers on startup, haiku shows the atheroswifi-driver only …?)

so i tried some nightly builds today. i was able to install the 48590 in safe-mode only and it runs (in safe-mode).
i'm very tired after the last years with haiku, but do not want to give up too early ;-) do you have any ideas where i could start?
i read some articles on http://development.pistooli.com, that shows the x31 perfectly running with nightly builds :-(

thank you!

Hi all,

Apologies if this is a stupid question.
I have generally been able to muddle through without having to ask any questions, but...

Is there a way to add fonts to increase my choices?

I originally started using R1A4, but after reading so many posts that related to improvements enabled in the nightlies I recently began using those. Every time I install a new nightly it just gets better and better, with one exception (for me) so far. In R1A4 I was able to install new fonts alongside the originals in the system folder, thus allowing me more font choices with some of the software (i.e. WonderBrush). But I just realized recently that with the nightlies I am unable to add fonts to the fonts folder.

I can understand why the developers would want to lock down certain folders in an ever-changing development environment, but why in the world would one want to lock down the fonts folder, especially when that is one of the keys areas the "average user" generally wants to change things. Anecdotal to be sure, but at my age, I'm not all that geeky and everyone that I know (who is equally un-geeky) has had some reason to add fonts on occasion. I tried adding the fonts through the Home folder, but that didn't work...

Am I stuck with having to reinstall R1A4 alongside the nightly install and bounce my project files back and forth?
Or am I missing something obvious... or maybe not-so-obvious?

Any feedback appreciated... Thanks for your time.
