I don't know what has happened over the last few days but I can no longer open any of the threads once I connect to this site on my laptop using Windows Explorer 7?
Currently using Firefox mozilla.
Well there's a systems administrator's answer Joe! It's alright for you. What about Jack and Jill computer user trying to use Firefox - plug ins and add ons everywhere, and seemingly endlesss diagnostics when the latest update won't display their web pages or interrupts Flash Player....Friends don't let friends use Internet Explorer...so I recommend that you migrate away from it permanently.

I'll grant you there are some things Firefox does well, it's compact and speedy with some nice features, not to mention free. And with IE, if a user is sloppy with security and updates - it can all go wrong there as well.
I had repeated problems with FF following each automatic update.When i was using Firefox i found that one or more of my plug ins would be incomparable with the next upgrade and there seemed to be a new upgrade every 2 or 3 months so overall a pain in the ass...so now i just use Chrome with no fancy plug ins, no extras.
Everything runs fast and easy now.
Yes my experience also. Been thinking about Chrome, might give it a go, thanks SC.When i was using Firefox i found that one or more of my plug ins would be incomparable with the next upgrade and there seemed to be a new upgrade every 2 or 3 months so overall a pain in the ass...so now i just use Chrome with no fancy plug ins, no extras.

Logique, that was the advice of my computer fixer to whom I'd turned in despair when I was getting these messes after every FF update. I do allow Flash updates though and have never had any problem there.Yes my experience also. Been thinking about Chrome, might give it a go, thanks SC.
Julia, I thought about disallowing FF (and Flash player) updates, was just worried that I might in the process miss important security updates.
Hi Joe,
I often get this reply to a failed attempt to post when I quote a long previous post.
No data received
Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.
It occurred prior to the upgrade.
Is there a character, word limit on "quoted text " ?
gg
Hi Joe
I lost internet access to this site this morning in the middle of loading a reply to a thread. With the "backup" facility, can I retreive the material in the post i was preparing and load it or do I have to prepare it again?
Is there a time limit, to recover the post material, before the autosave cuts out?
On a seperate issue, is it possible to run a poll in an existing thread?
Joe, I'm having difficulty with being unable to post anything longer than about four paragraphs, e.g. if I quote the post to which I want to respond, and then add my remarks, click on Submit, nothing happens. I've had to substantially reduce the no of characters to get it to go through and this alters the meaning.

Hi Joe, when I select the Reply With Quote button the members post I am trying to reply to does not appear in the box, it is just empty.
Is this just me?
Also, when I am trying to bold or underline text, for a period the text went bold in the box instantly, recently it has reverted to the or boxes again and only boldens in the preview post or submit reply option.
This is definitely odd and I suspect it is an isolated issue. Have you tried using another browser to see if it's browser related?
I used the "Reply with Quote" button to reply to this post and everything went OK. Is anyone else experiencing issues similar to springhill?
Yes, I reverted it from WYSIWG to standard controls a little while ago due to issues with copying and pasting. Did you prefer it the old way?
Must be browser related because it works with my iphone.
I did prefer the instantaneous effect of bolding and colouring, especially for my Low Caps thread, cuts the workload down significantly.
Thats just my opinion.
Just out of interest what browser are you using? Try clearing the browser cache/temporary internet files and see if that helps.
I will do some further testing and will hopefully return WYSIWYG post editing functions soon.
