I know there are some problems with Question Slides, but I'm using them as timesavers. Building question slides yourself takes a lot more time. When I started using them, I had to find the right settings to get the results I wanted, but now mostly I do not have that much problems anymore (if the internet connection is not failing).
What are your Quiz settings: can the user have more than one attempt, do you allow Backward movement, Review possibility etc? Is the uploading to a LMS (which one), what were the Manifest settings?

  • The forward and back buttons in firefox 4 beta 7 dont work after trying to customize and the bookmarks button only shows when customizing

    after installing firefox 4 beta 7 any customization of navigation bar breaks the forward and back a page buttons they stop working and and restoring the default buttons option it still doesn't work even in the safe mode and the text in menu buttons looks glassy

    What I found was that anytime I installed one of the beta's, as soon as I tried to customize the bars and hit the "small icons" checkbox from customize that I would no longer be able to have the round shaped foward back buttons but only square (rectangle) small buttons.
    To get those round ones back, but never again to the right of the "File - Edit - etc" bar, all I did was move all the buttons down to the navigation or another bar below as I have the space.
    The problem still occurs that anytime I attempt to put them back up top beside the file etc options they go back to those small rectangle buttons :(

  • In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

    I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

    Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

  • I have lost the use of the 'forward' and 'back' button

    On Win 7 I have lost the use of the forward and back button - both are greyed out - except on this page ??? when I leave this page the greyed out appears on all tabs or links in use. I am using Firefox 3.6.16. To get to this page I have 7 tabs open at present and all ( except this one - odd! ) are greyed out.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Well, what is your problem?
    If you are entering your serial number and being told you have used up your activations, you will need to contact Adobe to have your activation count reset

  • Forward and Back Icons Are Missing

    I'm not sure what happened, I haven't been messing around with my settings, but perhaps one of my friends was when I wasn't paying attention. The forward and backward icons on the top left of the window are missing. I'd like to get those icon's back, but I'm not sure how.

    Hi,
    Right-click where the icons should be and choose 'Customize Toolbar...'. From the drop down sheet you can then drag the back/forward buttons back to where they were.

  • When I last up dated Firefox the forward and back arrows dissapeared. Now if I want to go back I have to go to History to get back to previous page. How do I get these forward and back arrows?

    On MSN web sight there use to be forward and back arrows on the left hand upper side of page that let me go forward and back from page to page. Now the arrows are gone and I have to use the History or Bookmarks to move back and forth.
    The arrows didn't reappear when I up dated to the new foxfire.

    Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following:<br><br>
    * Fun Web Products Plugin<br><br>
    * My Web Search<br><br>
    Both of these are adware/spyware and cause performance issues in Firefox.
    Next, click the Extensions menu link (above Plugins where you are) and remove the "Ask Toolbar".
    If the problem persists, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with Add-ons disabled'''.<br><br>
    #In the next menu which appears, checkmark: "'''Reset toolbars and Controls'''".<br><br>
    #Finally, click the button called "'''Make changes and restart'''".
    Just in case you weren't aware of it, you can right click the Back or Forward buttons to get a list of sites visited. If you'd like to see the return of the arrow on the Back button, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
    Last but not least, some of your plugins are seriously out of date which exposes your system to exploits. Please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • Lost the forward and back buttons on Firefox five

    no blue arrows in bar.

    What I found was that anytime I installed one of the beta's, as soon as I tried to customize the bars and hit the "small icons" checkbox from customize that I would no longer be able to have the round shaped foward back buttons but only square (rectangle) small buttons.
    To get those round ones back, but never again to the right of the "File - Edit - etc" bar, all I did was move all the buttons down to the navigation or another bar below as I have the space.
    The problem still occurs that anytime I attempt to put them back up top beside the file etc options they go back to those small rectangle buttons :(

  • The drop down history button in FF3, used to be between the forward and back buttons, is missing in FF4. how do i get it back?

    I'm referring to the small downwards arrow between the back and forward button beside the URL, on the navigation bar. That used to be a very convenient feature and now its not available in FF4. Is there a way to get back that button?

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
    If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

  • The little forward and back arrows are gone

    I don't know what they're called. Up in the left corner under the red/yellow/green dots, there are the arrows that allow you to move back or forward between webpages.
    Well, those 2 arrows have disappeared. Where did they go? What did we do? How do we get them back?!
    Thanks

    Hmmm... I don't know how they disappeared, but you should be able to get them back by going under the "View" menu and selecting "Customize Address Bar." This will display available buttons that you can drag to where you want them.
    Let us know how this goes.

  • The little 'down' arrow that used to live next to the forward and back arrows in the upper left of the navigation bar, is missing. It was handy to use to go back in big jumps without having to go back one step at a time. Can you please restore it?

    When searching through a website, covering many pages of information, sometimes you just want to jump back to a page.
    Using the little dow arrow was a handy way to see where you have been and to jump multiple steps/pages backwards without continuing to click back, back, back, until finally reaching where you were. I really use it a lot and am hoping you will either restore it or provide me with a new way to do the same thing.
    Thank you!
    Maggie

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:
    * Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

    I'm runnung Tiger 10.4.5 and Safari 2.0.3, for some reason the forward and back buttons won't "activate" or work. Everything else is fine. There is nowhere I can download a new copy of 2.0.3. Any help is appreciated.

  • Ghostery disables forward and back buttons in version 10

    Forward and back arrows are greyed out and do not function when Ghostery is enabled. If I start in safe mode, without Ghostery, the forward and back arrows function properly.

    If the buttons are working in -> [[Safe Mode]], then you need to make sure which extension was causing the problems.

  • How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

    Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
    I'll try this once more.
    1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
    2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
    I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

    Thanks so much!
    Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
    The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
    I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!
