Plus someone suggested me before to put all the FTP clients in one folder.
Comments?

Or depending on how many FTP clients there are, split between CLI and PM clients.

Hi Martin,

I just noticed that when I use the sidebar on the left side to navigate to Win32/Apps, I always end up in OS2/Apps.

Looking at the site, I am having a hard time finding where the os/2 drivers are located.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm checking this with Jason.

Hello David
Looking at the site, I am having a hard time finding where the os/2 drivers are located.
They are in the same place that on the older Hobbes - OS2 » System » Drivers
Do you have a hard time finding something in specific?

Sorry Martin, for some reason I kept thinking of OS2\drivers.  I must have had a brain fart.

Jason fixed it this morning.
Let me know if there any similar problema.

I will try to organize first the FTP clients, and later see it has to be split.

Martin,

I finally looked at hobbes.os-2.in. One of my files inherited from
HobbesArchive had lost its long description; I just uploaded a new version.
I did not see a field to specify what file it should replace. Is the short
description no longer needed? Or is that supposed to go in the "Title" field?
I also did not see a "proposed directory for placement" field.

The login screen works with Firefox, but with Seamonkey it just returns me to
the home page. I have had a similar problem with the login on the home page of
os2world.com-- Seamonkey works only if I log in using the form at the top of a
forum message. Maybe that's a clue.

The Search function seems to do something odd with a dot-- If I search for
"rexxtool.cmd" I get 1 hit, as expected. If I search for "nosuchstring" I get 0
hits, as expected. If I search for "nosuchstring.cmd" I get 233 hits. It acts
like it does a second search for "cmd", if and only if the original search
failed.

I like having a choice of themes, but they all have some elements that are hard
to read because there is not enough contrast between text and background. A
high-contrast theme would be nice, whenever there is nothing more important to
work on.

I like the A-/A+ to change the font size.

Thanks for the reply Anton.

I had approved your uploaded file and it should show now on the site.

I will check the rest with Jason.

Bad Cookie? I take it you're talking about the Mozilla apps that run on OS/2.
In SeaMonkey, go to Tools-->Password Manager-->Manage Stored Passwords. Scroll down to os2world.com, hilight a cookie and choose delete. Repeat.
Do the same with  hobbes.os-2.in.
Afterwards you will have to relog in but hopefully the problems will clear up.

Yes, a cookie problem. Thanks, Dave.
