aramike Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 Just curious -- is anyone else having difficulties with pages on this BB not loading completely? If so, please reply.
Guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 Yes, I have been as well, but thought that it was my Exporer, this computer is starting to act up, so I thought it was me.When it does happen, I hit refresh and the whole thing loads.
Charles Lindsey Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 Yes I have as well. Went into one forum and the thread name stopped about halfway down and half of a javascript message appeared where the light bulbes usually are. I backed out and went back in and everything seemed fine.
Islander Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 I have been having problems with this board for the last five days or so (I think). However, in my case hitting refresh is not helping at all (If anything it makes things worse - the page gets cut-off further and further up). Basically any page that is longer than about 20-25 posts is being cut-off and I am unable to get to the bottom. (7-8 posts for some of the General Discussion debate threads ) I access this forum from three different machines: a Win 98 PC w/Internet Explorer 5.0 and no Service Packs (home), a Win Me PC w/Internet Explorer 5.5 SP 1 (home), and a Mac OS 8.0 w/Netscape Communicator (work). The same problem shows up on all three. I guess for now I am going to have to lurk (no choice). Gam out[ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: Gamaliel ]
Tekrebel Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 I had problems yesterday loading the board, my explorer windows would freeze up. Clearing the cache did the trick. It might not be related to the board itself though.
Põdi Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 Occassionally have the same problems on my work Mac with Netscape, but hitting Refresh usually does the trick
Guest $iLk Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 Every now and then I just get a white page, but closing my explorer window and opening back up the forum usually does the trick.
aramike Posted November 12, 2001 Author Report Posted November 12, 2001 OK, so it isn't just me or my computer. There's definitely something wrong with the board upgrade.I'll look into it, thanks everyone.
Cmdr Nova Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 Got problems here as well. For the past couple weeks, it's been happening. It loads around 1/3 or halfway or so, and stops. If I reload, it might load completely, or if the page is really long, it'll just load partway again, but this time a bit more.At first I thought it was my slow internet connection, getting the better of me. Oh well..... Wanna start a countdown for a fix?
Supreme Cmdr Posted November 12, 2001 Report Posted November 12, 2001 Yep, there's something fishy with the 6.1.02 upgrade. In fact, there is a 6.1.03 upgrade in the works, according to UBB.
Epsilon 5 Posted November 13, 2001 Report Posted November 13, 2001 I usually have problem with extra-long pages, like in the gammulan recruitment thread, or any political thread where $iLk, Menchise and Aramike are involved , where everyone makes big-assed replies.

Emmett.hendrick Posted November 13, 2001 Report Posted November 13, 2001 I just expierenced this prob myself while checking new posts etc noly about 3/4 of the thread was display and a refresh did not sort it out.
Menchise Posted November 14, 2001 Report Posted November 14, 2001 I've been running into this problem for several weeks (I even sent an email to CAT about one of the threads misbehaving). In Netscape, it would load about 80% of the page and then it would suddenly stop and the "Document: Done" message would appear, but none of the posts appeared. In IE it loads to the same point, then it stops and displays whatever it managed to download. Same for the Macs.[ 11-13-2001: Message edited by: Menchise ]
Islander Posted November 18, 2001 Report Posted November 18, 2001 Greetings,I noticed that the forum software has been upgraded to version 6.1.0.3 however I am still having the same problems as before (on two different PC's and a Mac).The only improvement I have noticed is that while refreshing a page seems to be more helpful than before, it is still not 100% effective.IOW the browser reports a page as being "done" even though it is obviously incomplete and hitting refresh sometimes allows more of the page to be seen and other times not.Oh well...back to lurking I guess Gamaliel out.
warren126692 Posted November 19, 2001 Report Posted November 19, 2001 it happens to me a lot, but i just hit refresh and it compleats loading. but it sure is a pain though.
Epsilon 5 Posted November 19, 2001 Report Posted November 19, 2001 Hm... I have more page-loading problems in MSIE than in Mozilla... well I don't have any problems in mozilla...
Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted November 19, 2001 Report Posted November 19, 2001 Actually I been having this problems even before the upgrade. I always assumed that it was my isp which is shit and added to the fact that I'm on 56.6k modem
me Posted November 19, 2001 Report Posted November 19, 2001 Yeah, I'm having this problem too with my Home comp. 56k Modem, Refreshing the page SOMETIMES works. I Occasionally have it at work on the T-1. Hitting refresh there usually does the trick though.Even tried turning off images to see if that would help, No luck.I also tried downloading the pages to my HDD and reading them from there, same thing, only got a Partial download.[ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: Melcar ]
