Hi

Here you will find links to some of the most often discussed issues. New links will be added to this post if necessary.

Please do not start new topics on the issues listed here - they will be closed to stop cluttering the forum. You may, however, add your comments to the original threads (see the Forum Posting Rules first!). Hopefully this will make the forum a little tidier

The second post provides a list of keyboard shortcuts, and a few links that might come in handy (e.g. links to downloads, help sites, etc.).

If you are using M 1.5.7 or later, please be aware that the improved IE plugin support in this build does NOT mean that all IE plugins are compatible with M 1.5.7. For more information refer e.g. to the following topic in the Plugins board: IE Toolbars and the new Maxthon 1.5.7. Note also that some M plugins (COM-type) may cause issues now too. And if you're using the Google Toolbar, make sure you have its LATEST version. Every user who has added the bLoadAll entry in their Plugins.ini file is strongly advised to remove it now.
