Disappearing news, and Mozilla/Message boxes on main page


Recommended Posts

Two things;

1.) Has anyone else noticed any disappearing main page posts lately? A couple examples are the Outlook security fix from last week, and then today there was a discussion on the Winamp bug which allows for execution of code which suddenly disappeared. I'm just wondering if this was intentional, or if there's some kind of glitch or something that's causing the news to disappear.

2.) Also, when replying to a news item on the main page, the message box doesn't wrap appropriately with Mozilla. I'm guessing that it has to do with not setting the number of columns for the message box, but when reaching the end of the line it doesn't wrap; rather, it continues on the same line. Is there any alternative way to fix this so the text wraps?

Thanks for any help;

[Edit: Also, I noticed that you removed an image or something from the pages which made Neowin scroll much more smoothly...it really helped, thanks. :)]

If there's one thing I've noticed about mozilla is it's handling of textarea wrapping. It's not that it's poorly done, but the Quirks rendering mode doesn't seem to handle this specific quirk.

check bugzilla.mozilla.com about it becuase I'm lazy... :p

If I remove my post, or other, it's usaully because the news was posted on Neowin already. But I do not know how those news disappear. But hey, there's always a reason for it. We don't just remove news just for the heck of it :p

    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
