Trouble loading OB Webpages - Orchid Board

Tindomul · #1 08-16-2006, 10:54 AM

Is anyone else experiencing difficulties loading Orchid Board webpages??
At first I thought it was just my computer at home, but now its happening at work too.
The problem is that sometimes when I go to open a page, delete a private message, sumbit a reply, close a window on orchid board, the web page freezes up and the computer prompts me to send an error report. THen the webpage closes and I have to start all over again.
I just need to know if anyone else is experiencing these difficulties, or if its just my computers.
I'm not sure yet if it happens on the other boards and websites, I'll let you know. Thanks on any suggestions, comments.

WOW, ok. THe problem seems to be when I try to open Orchid Board from my email notifications to a reply to one of my posts. ITs gotten to a point that if I even try to reach OB from my yahoo email, it won't open anymore. But if I go straight to OB, there is no problem.
The email thing for the other boards seems to be working normally.
Can anyone shed some light on the matter???

Hm... anyone else having these issues? Works for me 100% of the time. Tindo, set your default browser to FireFox and let me know if you have same problem.

then again, happening at work too eh?

I've had problems with getting bounced while composing a posting. By the time I get done writing, I'm not logged in anymore.....Must be your way of telling me I'm getting a bit long winded!

make sure you have cookies enabled. Cookie keeps the settings for you being logged in. If you have cookies disabled, the session will expire and you'll get booted.

Enable those cookies

I'm getting the same problems from Vivarium Forums, and its not related to my email as it happens with or without using the links from them.
Now, what is FireFox??? And how do I set it as my default?? Thanks for the advice.
I must have sent out 10,000 error reports

.

Now to be clear, the web page simply stops responding, and the computer sends out an error reports and closes the webpage. I hope this stops soon, its getting harder and harder to visit OB and VF.
It seems that this time the computers have gone straight for my jugular.

If your explorer crashes then it might be related to something else. Give Firefox a try and let me know if you get the same error

I use Firefox (and Thunderbird - the e-mail client) almost exclusively. I really like them.

Thanks guys! I downloaded it about an hour ago after finding it on my own(guess the Tinman has some brains afterall). What can I say, I think I like!!!
Plus, no more crashes. So far......Keeping fingers crossed. (but what cuase that on Internet explorer?)
