Is there something wrong with this forum?
« on: July 22, 2017, 11:10:54 AM »
I tried posting this yesterday. When I open a thread, I can see only the OP and one reply, regardless of how many replies are logged. What's causing this?

No problem here.    I occasionally get a "The Server Is Under High Stress, Try Again Later" error message when I do a search or sort of some kind, but that's just the nature of the beast.

I've heard a couple people mention the problem you have, but it always seems to be at the user end; nothing at the server end typically causes that.    Clean up cookies, browser restart, etc ....

See what?   If there's supposed to be a picture of a really cute girl on a small-block attached, no.   :grin:

Clearing cookies, history and browsing data, then rebooting my device (iPad) seems to have resolved the problem. Thx to all who made suggestions.

Are you running Firefox per chance?  I've had issues with Firefox lately, not being able to see posted photos.  Switching to Chrome solved it, but I prefer to use Firefox.  I'm hoping there will be a fix out soon.

I'm using Safari, but I tried using Chrome and the problem was the same.

Are you sure your post met the rules of the board administration?  Just a thought.

Sorry to say Wildguzzi is in denial but for days now my PC Matic tells me after a few minutes that this forum is not right and cuts this off my computer.  Problem is something about a remote computer , kbntx.ch, Amazon, 9/5/16 to 10/16/17.  :huh:

Fake news.  It's the pc-matic that's the problem, not WG.  Study up on the way pc-matic works, Randy.

A problem customers of mine used to run into this time of month was their internet would slow down to abysmal speeds, their web pages wouldn't load completely, and pictures often didn't appear.  It was usually due to them going over their download quotas.  The ISP would choke their feeds.  Does your service have quotas?

When my computer slows down I have PC Matic clean it up and all is good again.  :azn:

The way it works is the proof.  It doesn't detect viri like virtually all the others do.  Instead of arguing from ignorance, read up on it and see what its really doing.  You'll be disappointed.

Pc-Matic doesn't do anything with your slow computer that you couldn't do for yourself.  It's money spent for utilities that are already in your operating system.

I had a different virus protection before PC Matic and my computer works far better for much less $ than it did before PC Matic.  I admit I'm mostly ignorant of how to use my  computer.   Maybe if I had your computer skills I wouldn't need something like PC Matic but I don't and am not even capable of learning more about how to use my computer.   That's why I have a 100% disability. My brain is damaged, especially when it comes to short term memory.

Folks,
There is no problem with the board.  Zero. None. Zilch. Nada.  I have about 8 computers and checked it on all of them.  Also confirmed with the hosts that there has not been any infections on the server.

Browsers are notorious for screwing up and causing problems.  A simple scan of programs like Malwarebytes, Rogue Killer, Adwcleaner, etc will clean a lot of the crap up and make your worlds so much easier.  Not to mention refreshes, resets and clearing history, cookies, cache, etc.

As for the PC Matic argument. I love all the computers that come into my shop with that joke of a software on it.  It keeps me in business cleaning it up for customers.  It's a program that hijacks your computer, so when you don't renew it, your computer will "magically" slow down until your renew license is reactivated.  You get what you pay for, I'll just leave it at that.

Believe me, if the board had a problem then I would do as I have been doing since 1998 and I would fix it asap.

Good night and hope all is well,
Luap

Sorry for wasting bandwidth here. After trying all suggestions, including switching browsers and devices, the aggravating problem persisted. But seeing the problem on multiple devices led me to do what I probably should have tried first -- I rebooted my router. Problem solved. At least, this may be instructive to somebody else down the line....
