anybody else have this problem?

Asmoday · Jul 17, 2006, 12:43 AM

Yep, it looks weird on my end too...

Zardon · Jul 17, 2006, 12:56 AM

one of the news posters posted an article with 50 characters without a space - the 340,000.xxxxxxx email thing. this caused the software to attempt to run it all on one line. the offending article is removed.

Ah ok...

mainman · Jul 17, 2006, 07:44 PM

yep it's fixed now. Btw the site has been really slow for me. Don't if it's the lame IE7 beta they installed here at work or the dsl connection. Probably both.

Zardon · Jul 18, 2006, 10:26 AM

lightining fast here and loads are low so im guessing its something on your side/routing mate.

I sure the IE7 beta is running the worthless Windows defender, it sure wasnt compatible with my Mcafee software and did slow my system, but even in my crappy hotel in Germany it was fine. Helios, I wonder if you dont have big brother crap running on your hotel computer. Are you using the one at the front desk?

Yes Jeff, i'm using the one at work at the front desk and i think your right, ever since they installed that crappy IE7 beta and of course windows defender things have been runing slow here. They also have remote admin here so that they can screw up things here even more, but, from the confy of their home.

Funny thing is they unistalled Opera because it was messing up with our phone software station... go figure...

Anyways ill sort it all out. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Zardon · Jul 19, 2006, 03:25 PM

try and stick to firefox or opera if you can, im not a wonderful fan of IE tbh. 6 wasnt bad, 7 from my testing is pretty flaky.

also, try flushing your DNS, and clear your cookies, as some of these new browsers [opera, and perhaps IE7] handle them wierd and duplicate them on occassion, etc

Well problem is solved, unistalled IE7 beta and everything seems to be back to normal. I'm agaisnt using beta software at work but since it's not like i own the company i don't give a crap. Anyways i talked to my boss about the problems i was having and he gave me green light to solve it. Thanks again for the great feedback guys!

Falstaff · Jul 22, 2006, 07:36 PM
