TimG Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 When I click on a news item in the windows client, the item is page a opened in IE even though that is not my default browser. When I do the same in the Flash version, the page is opened in my default browser. This is not a complaint, just a curiosity. Is this controlled by something local, or is it BBO determined? Thanks,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Setting BROWSER_TYPE=C in bbover.ini should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 The windows client explicitly uses IE when it wants to embed a web browser ( for instance, when it embeds a browser into the lobby news window ). I don't recall how it invokes a browser when you click on a link (in, say, a chat message ) but it might invoke FF there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Setting BROWSER_TYPE=C in bbover.ini should do the trick. Already set. Again, just a curiosity, and between you, I think I've gotten the answer. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
