Anyone having trouble with Forum Threads?

[Duce Lewis 3]

This has been going for the last week or so

 

Problem occurs about 75% of the time when opening threads

Clicking the Latest Post button (left of Post Title) opens the 1st post instead

Clicking Last Post (Time over last poster name) the thread jumps all around, taking a long time to stabilize

 

Happens on both my laptop and gamer

Nothing major, just annoying

 

Thanks,

There's some aircraft maintenance reports that this is a tribute to.

 

Problem occurs about 75% of the time when opening threads ... Please only use those buttons the other 25% of the time.

 

 

Now for the serious stuff. It's all a function of the cookies we store on your machine and what we store in the database. This is confused more by the fact that you're using two machines which each get different cookies and the site just doesn't know what you've read and what you haven't. The jumping around happens when you enter a thread with a lot of images that need to be resized.

 

There's another software update coming that will address some of these concerns but I don't think there's any software that will fix the multiple machine issue.

 

 

Sorry about that.

Thanks Erik!

I thought it might have something to do with the multiple machines ...but it's only a resent issue

I've been using two machines for a while now

 

Anyone else having problems?

Maybe recently you've installed some software that removes your browser cache including cookies or it's not allowing the cookies to be saved on your machine anymore?

 

Just a thought because nothing here has changed in the last 7 months or so but will in the near future.

Had the same problem, but only with some threads; like "Screenshots". Thanks for the info.

My FM tweaking thread appears to have been deleted or is missing? Was it something I said?

 

Upon further investigation, it appears the FM tweaking thread has been moved to the OFF Knoweldge Base forum. Don't forget to stop by and say hello!

That rings a bell

I recently switched browsers

But I didn't like it so I switched back

 

Thanks Erik!

Hmmmmm,.....mmmmm.

 

Just thinking out load, I'm having problems getting Thunderbird on Windows 7 to store my emails. I'm using an IMAP server, which stores my emails remotely from my PC, but it's not keeping them, unless I archive the mail immediately. It saves the archive ok, sent mail, and deleted mail, but for some swine of a reason, it doesn't store my inbox. The emails are gone with no means to recover them it seems.

 

Odd thing was, it suddenly started to function properly, and kept emails from 14th May until 20th before deleting them. What changed? Why wait 5 days to delete them?

 

What was mentioned here about logging in to the forum from different IP addresses suddenly got me thinking. I do access my emails from two different PC's with different operating systems.

 

Is it possible it might be this which is screwing with my email?

 

I know the best advice is use a POP server, but my incomming mail server isn't liking that option.
