im not 100% sure if its a bug in AniDb, it could be something in firefox Tabbrowser Extension too, but most of the time i get my notifys ok, but sometimes it just comes up empty:

Code: Select all

<html>
	<head>
	    <title>Notification</title>
	    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.anidb.net/animedb.css">
    	    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.anidb.net/favicon.ico">
	</head>
	<body text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#0000ff" alink="#ff0000" bgcolor="#bfc2c9">
    New Files For:<br>

    <hr>
    <br>
    <div align="right">
	<a href="javascript:window.close()">close</a>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

it semms to happen only when i get 1 or 2 notifys, when i get more it always worked up to now, so it seems to be anidb (i hate it when that happens, 2 notifys and i dont know whats new.)

anyways thanks for looking into it.
i will try to use a diferent browser for making sure (still i like firefox) oh, and i think i post something in feature-request along the line "notification-history"

AniDB clears your notifications as soon as a request for the notification page is recieved. So if for some reason the page is requested twice, you will end up having an empty notification windows.

possible reasons:
- a double click on the notify link
- some kind of "background preloader/accelerator" for a webbrowser
- some weird proxy server
- ...

BYe!
