maybe its my computer but the board is acting funny today.

The top banner comes up instantly but then there's a fairly long delay before the message board part appears below the banner. Anybody else seeing this happen?

Really? Huh. I saw a couple problems that I did not like and rebooted the server around 1:30 or so. Has it happened since then? If it has could someone take a snap shot and e-mail it to me?

Thanks!

I haven't had a problem at all, not today yesterday or the day before.

I'm wondering if there is a traffic bottleneck/disruption somewhere between the server and where some of you are having issues ?? Especially if some of you still are... But I'm still looking...

Site speed seems normal. I only have the moon in the upper right corner no adds. Not sure if that is an issue.

On mine now its only a problem on the initial click to the site. that did the same thing. Instant banner , very slow with the message board. Once in the site though , I have no problems when I go from forum to forum or to threads within the forum.

OK - for the first time I just saw what you are talking about - and it happened in Internet Explorer (which I only use when Firefox does not work - rare).

I will update the site to fix that problem - my apologies!!

If any of you are intereested in a faster browser - be sure to check out FireFox @ http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Thanks!

What are the advantages of Foxfire? When working right , its blink , blink , blink with IE.

Is Foxfire fully integrated with the rest of the Microsoft applications? For example , if I click on an email link in Foxfire , will it open my Outlook mail program automatically . There must be other integration issues too?

When a page loads fast and is compatible with both browsers (most of the time) they will load the same with maybe a slight edge to FF. It basically comes down to when the site is designed. If the site is geared to open standards FF will usually be the better browser. If the site is geared to a Microsoft back end with Microsoft specific code it will work better in IE.

Clicking on a link will open your default client - for example I use full Outlook (not express) as my email client and it will open Outlook when I click on the link.

Other integration issues? Just like noted above if the site is heavily geared to MS, IE will be the choice. If it is standards based, FF is the better. FF does also have a lot of plug ins to do various tasks and I feel it is generally a more secure browser.

With Firefox or IE ?

OK - I think I found the culprit - IE is not handling that right side colum well and after I put in the Moon Phases it seemed to cause IE to wait longer to load - was not a problem in Firefox. So I changed a few things and we'll ho it goes. I will find a new place for the Moon Phases...

Thanks,

John

IE is not supported anymore and hasn't been for a few years now, Firefox Is free and everyone should Google it and download it.

MS is no longer updating and supporting IE for older operating systems like Win98 and ME (thank god) but they are coming out with IE 7 soon and will likely need to work through, uhh, issues once that happens. FireFox has excellent support for older Operating Systems...

OK you Yakheads - it is up and running :cputin: :lasso:

Sorry about that - it was unrelated - I started a big job (bigger than I thought) that sucked up all the CPU time for 10 or so minutes :tooth:

John,
Maybe it's me , but the search functons (pull down tabs) don't work for me in IE but work fine in Firefox. So, I have to do any "searches" using Firefox.

I think it is you - is it happening now with IE? OK, seriously, I do not see that problem in IE. Does anyone else have this problem?
