I don`t really come here now....

I dont really come here now,the site is just never working properly and I can`t get in,I`ve been off on other sites trying to get new members for the forum,they just had the same problems as me and gave up! I`ve been trying for three days to get in just to leave this message! Its a shame, I`ve got a lot to offer , I go on a site called super snails now instead,it works and its much more active. I`ll come in now and again to see if its working properly yet but yeah,shame.

I find that most of the time it's a browser issue - Firefox seems to kick up 9 times out of 10 but Safari will open the forum with only very occasional problems. I'm on the computer pretty much constantly and check this forum a few times a day without issue. Anyone know how to fix the hinky coding? Making the forum a bit more compatible wouldn't hurt.

yes i'm having problems on IE too, i can't click on anything, it nearly gets to the page, but then just goes back to the page i was on. it works ok on google chrome though.

i had that problem, seems to have gone now though. its a pity its putting people off

[Deleted]

yeh the problem's gone for me too. Hopefully it doesn't come back.

I've been using Firefox / Mac OS X without any problems at all on this site, or any other site.

Same here ,never a problem with firefox.....

Ryan, are you using the most updated version of your browser? Are you accessing the forum index page ( petsnails.proboards3.com/index.cgi? )? Have you cleared your cache?

[Ryan]

As far as I know I`m using the most tecent version yes,I`ll look into the cache thing , I`m not sure how to do that,took my a couple of days to get in and place this reply....

A couple more questions, for whenever you return:

Have you run a virus scan?

Can you copy and paste the exact url(s) that you try to go to that give you so much trouble?

Thanks.

[coyote]

A couple more ideas . . .

Is this happening with a url you've bookmarked? I've heard that people have this problem with bookmarked sites. Closing the browser completely (including Download Manager) and rebooting solves the problem.

Try logging out when you leave the site. Logging in fresh each time may stop the problem from happening.

mine's doing it again sometimes. if i copy and paste the url it still redirects. and yes it is the page i bookmarked. i'll try restarting the browser/logging out next time. thanks.

[Ryan]

Yup I`ve run virus scans,Idont have any trouble on any of the other sites I go to and thats quite a few! I go to "petsnails.co.uk" is that what you meant?

[coyote]

Not exactly. I was thinking in general terms, not specifically.

I've seen this problem discussed on another site, and one of the tech guys there said it sounded like a "session problem," based on the user's description, meaning your time when you're logged in. This would happen no matter which browser you use. That is, if I understand all this correctly, which I may not, not being a techie kind of person.
