Jackrabbit Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 I haven't posted as much lately because it's been very frustrating. I'll be surfing the forums, yada yada, and it will stop responding. ex- I'll click "Reply", and it will say it's loading, but nothing will happen. I've waited 20 min at one point, and nothing. Same happens with opening new posts, trying to vote in polls, etc. I seems to happen after I've been at the board for about 5 min. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem. I've deleted cookies, temp internet files, scanned for viruses and spyware, and it hasn't helped. Grr...let's hope I can post this.
Wraith 8 Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 well this post has been received... hmmmm It only happens for the LF? or for other sites aswell? after 5 minutes that is... uhm uhmm... have you tried clicking more then once on the reply button?
Jackrabbit Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 I've tried clicking things multiple times, and it never works. This is also the only site it happens at. I also noticed it seems to happen more often when I have more than one window open (all on the forums).
Wraith 8 Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 uhmm do you have some sort of firewall? or do you have something blocked on it? maybe try to get an upgrade for IE... i dont think its any of these things.. but i never saw this problem before.. so it MIGHT work
Jackrabbit Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 Yeah, I'm thinking of reinstalling IE6, or getting a new browser. I'll tell you what happens once I do.
Wraith 8 Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Yeah ok.. do that man and if it doesnt work.. kick the forums
Obi Peg Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 It could be your cookies aren't on allow all or.... alternatively I have heard great things about this browser opera from some mates who swear by it.. I am gonna give it a go myself when i can be bothered Opera Browser Gl m8 and hope you solve it soon!
Jackrabbit Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 I actually started downloading it before I came here today because my friend swears by it too . It's going to take a little while though...56k :|
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Ie is a bit buggy, your best bet is to reinstall Ie. Or d/l a diffrent broswer.
Jackrabbit Posted May 22, 2003 Author Posted May 22, 2003 Well, I fixed the problem with the forum slowdown. I had some program on my computer that half installed... I don't know what it was, but I finally got rid of it and everything seems to work now. Weird I have another problem though. It's not so much forum related...let's see if I can explain this. I keep getting this pop-up window that doesn't pop-up, it just stays on my taskbar. I can't open it, or move it, and my pop-up blocker doesn't catch it. Sometimes it is just titled Microsoft..., other times it is named Yahoo... It's annoying.
Wraith 8 Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 Yeh i know what that is.... its a pop up that doent really load. I have Norton firewall 2003 and there is a pop stopper build in. also to close these things.. just right click on the menu bar and close.... and if they still dont close.... CTRL ALT DELETE and in your task menu close the one

CTRL ALT DELETE and in your task menu close the one I've found that this normally shuts down Internet Explorer, so be forewarned.
