LOL i really have to say that if you don;t know where your start menu is no wonder your having probs with the site - sorry but that was amusing and i assume you were joking
Swansealona, Sorry to moan buddy but I just don't see that this ongoing issue as being browser based or a routing problem. I have deleted and reinstalled all browsers on PC and Laptop, reset them to default settings and ran the nude (without any all add-ons or extensions installed), but the issue still persists. The message I get is displayed 'instantly on click' which suggests that the server-side-software is failing to recognise my loggin as a member. This could be related to the security software, firewall, antivirus or malware, software on the server being updated, or settings changed to 'paranoid' mode. I also don't think it is a routing issue as the re-rout page displays instantly 'On-click', there is no time-delay to suggest a slow 'hop'. The 'on-click' display, imo, discounts it being a routing issue. Also, if our session requests were taking too long due to a routing issue then the server would display a a 'session time out' page, not a registration page. I suggest the issue surrounds server-side-security-software which has been changed in some way; new s/w or an update of old. Anti-virus software, Host Intrussion Protection System (HIPS) or malware software could casue this issue making the server not recognise the session. Not saying these are deffo the causes of the problem but suggesting these could cause this same problem to occur. Anywhoo, took 13 attempts to simply post this; infuriating to say the least
Don't be sorry, I bet its annoying, but I am only trying to help. I also never said it was definitely the problem mate, but its the very basics of fault finding, start at the very beginning. Even if it may sound silly, try it, rule it out, move on to the next step. By skipping steps based on what one THINKS is the issue, is where you get more confused. So start at the very beginning, rule stuff out, and it can help make life easier when nailing down the problem itself. So now we can rule out, with 100% certainty that it is not a browser problem. Which is part of what I was trying to do, help by ruling out the very basics. I know from experience with running sites, many problems are at a user level. Of course that most likely isn't the case here because it affects so many, but even then, it hasn't affected everyone, so it could still be a user based problem, but something that not all users are using, such as a browser, an Internet provider (which was easy to rule out because of the likes of Musty having the problem too) Instant click, could still be an issue your end, your security software, your firewall, like I said, it doesn't affect everyone, so there has to be a common thing between all the users who are experiencing the problem. ~We did after all have a user recently mention a malware warning on site, so it could be your security software partially blocking the site. We hadn't been made aware that it was instant loads, we were just told that the site is giving errors, that the server is under too much load and guest mode is disabled. That tends to happen when a server is overloaded, which would result in slow load times, hence my query on routes to the server. You have to understand, we are not all having the problem, so I can only go by what I see people saying. I can't guess that it was instant loads, when the basics of the information are regarding server load issues, which tend to result in slower loadings and time outs. Not entirely, you could still be connecting to the server, but the routing could have an issue that drastically slows down the transfer rate of information. It doesn't necessarily time out. The ping however can go through the roof and slow down the rate of transfer, after all, one load on the site, your requesting multiple templates, stylesheets, your also running java-script client side. That is an idea, is your java up to date? It could well be, but we go back to asking the question as to why it doesn't affect everyone? I know your not stumpy, same as I am not saying the browser and such are the definitive problem, but its purely basics in fault finding. And its the only place to start, as the moment you skip steps, its the moment you make more work for yourself.
Could it be a problem with usernames beginning with 'm' or 's'? Or usernames that start with a capital letter. Problems can sometimes be as basic as that.
I had a stand-alone cookie killer on pc and on laptop. Uninstalled it and since, no problems. Will log in out when can and see if its as simple as a rogue cookie killer. If others can dissable any cookie killers, history cleaners etc to see if this helps. If it does then just add not606.com as an exception. Try it anyway
I've had trouble getting on here on my iPad today, but I could get on through my phone. On my iPad now though
tried to get here and got the usual message, wanted to read a PM from a dude from the leeds board, same message 5 times, went to not606 Cardiff and got in, replied to the message, 3 attempts to get it sent, come back here and all is good atm wierd
Server load is too high so 'Guest' viewing has been temporarily disabled. Please register or log in to view the site. Logged In members never see this message. Had to sign out, sign in, sign out, sign in - just to post this - it's like the hokey cokey - know the mods do this for nothing but is bloody infuriating and not getting any better - gonna be the death of this forum!
My post #72 didn't work. I also disengaged 'use hardware acceleration' in browser but unfortunately 'the song remains the same". I've tried several times today and this is the first time I've been able to access our forum. Hope the problem will be resolved soon but, for me, this issue has become tiresome and has killed the forum. Will look in from time to time, if I can that is, but I simply don't have the time to continue mess around with this. A reluctant farewell from me
