That right there is EXACTLY why you NEVER want to make this thing your default browser. I think with all these server problems lately we've all learned a good lesson about this.........

The thing is great when it works, but lately that has definitely been a crapshoot......

Is anyone else still having problems accessing their bookmarks and history using Skyfire v.80? I keep asking about it on their forums, but their community is rather, how should I say... mute. Thanks

Crap, so I guess I'll be waiting on Skyfire tech support. See that's why I love this group, ask a question, get a answer.

I haven't had that problem in a while now, but I absolutely cannot get this thing to quit deciding to be my default browser. Every single time I open it, I go into the settings menu & uncheck that box & it just resets itself & the box gets checked again......

I was told on their forum to submit a trouble ticket to support@skyfire.com and they'll look into the situation. I'm thinking the trouble was aggravated by being a alpha tester for the last release. Some how their database that keeps up with my settings, bookmarks, history etc. has gone 404 on me.

I suggest you do the same with the issue you are having. It might take them a few days but they do respond "eventually".

Just as the title reads i just loaded my old version of skyfire( didnt like some of the features and hard enough sign-up problems) that we all faced to see a link up top of the skyfire start screen stating a newer version of skyfire had been released and I should upgrade because come oct. 31 my version of skyfire will no longer work! So I guess they backed us into a corner those of us who liked the older version over the new one arent goin to have any other choice but to upgrade eventually....
- didnt see a thread for this in particular when isearch it may have been posted in another thread though so sorry if this is old news

I could run NBC on demand with the new .80 but now I get an error asking for flash 9 or higher. Is that a NBC.com or Skyfire issue?

[wjrandon]

Skyfire's support wasn't able to resolve my issue in a timely manner despite being in direct contact with one of their lead programmers. Luckly, Skyfire is now in an open beta so any Tom, ****, or Harry can signup for an account. I took full advantage of this by forwarding my broken account over to a landline telephone number and creating a new account to re-registered my cellular number. It didn't save my previous bookmarks of course, but I now once again have access to history and my new bookmarks once I recreate them.

There has been a lot of talk on Skyfire's support forums lately about limited access to some Flash based sites that once worked, and are now recently broken. I know the developers are still tweeking their rendering servers and its a possibility that few plugins become disabled when certain server software updates. So rest assured, the problem lays on Skyfire's end while the kinks are worked out.

Also you may notice problems accessing sites that require Microsoft Sliverlight.
