Just a heads up, I have just upgraded to the latest Firefox browser version 3.6. E-quake does not appear to work or be compatible with it. Those of you wanting e-quake I'd suggest holding off on the firefox update.

Unless of course anyone knows a work around?

reply to post by who-me?


Many thanks for the info. I guess they will get round to updating eventually.

Meanwhile here is the latest Chile cumulative to the end of March 12th.

I've been using eQuake with Firefox version 3.6 for over a month how - works fine.

reply to post by whoshotJR


They are just keeping the recent ones at the bottom of the JdF plate company. Nothing to worry about here. The worst that can happen is that the plate slips

Seriously however, they are all concentrated in a small area - 4 in the last two days - and a couple in a slightly different area in the 4 days before. Just to recap:

You sure about that. I thought it had only just been issued.

Check in Help About. I am on 3.5.2 and I normally update as soon as they come out.

Since this is shown as the same time I assume it is an edit and downgrading but both are still showing in GE just now.
