Thrown out again

I'm not all that sure, Ziggy, that this bug is Thread orientated I was on the "FROM THE OLD BOOK" thread when it happened last night, but when it happened today I was writing a long personal message on the forum so it doesn't happen just on a Thread. Besides there are a lot of Sticky Threads hugely bigger than "FROM THE OLD BOOK". This is a hang-over from the change and we'll possibly hear from others when and if it happens to them - a bit like "Pass the Parcel"! I don't think this is going to be easy to track down but hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

 

I'm definitely not a expert in this field, Kristen, but I'm pretty sure that it's not been triggered by something on my system as it has happened to Ziggy too. Actually, the page has refreshed itself several times while I been on the Forum even when I've been browsing, but again I don't think it's linked to my system. As for it being an advert that might have triggered the refresh it's a thought, although why hasn't it happened to other people but like I said I'm definitely not an expert in this matter

 

I'm no expert, most definitely, but I would like to make a comment that won't cure the problem but may help.

ARMANDII,
if you intend to make a long post then type it in Word and then when you have completed just copy and paste into GC. That also saves you making silly mistakes, which I have done, of pressing 'Preview' and thinking I have posted it.

Kristen,
I have an advert at the top of the thread.

 

The more that's written on this Thread and the more I read the comments and advice on it the more baffled I become

Kristen's expertise and advice, [thanks Kristen], have made me aware just how difficult it is to pin down, identify, and rectify a bug and particularly this one. I tried tying Kristen's expertise with whatever logic I have to the the circumstances of the bug and basically felt like I was standing at a cross roads with a billion roads leading off in every direction, and no sign to direct me One question leads to five, five questions lead to 50 and 50 questions lead to ..........:gaagh:

My computer is less than a year old, after my old one died a rather dramatic end, it runs Windows 7, is a high end one and with more power than I really need. I don't have Word but instead use Scribus and Open Office. I use Chrome. latest edition, and found it's quick and very stable. If the problem persists I will swap over to Firefox to see if it changes anything.

When the change over took place, I, like a lot of others, sat back and waited. Then when it was back on line I just tried to find out what was different and since there were no notes to set or change anything, I didn't change anything. So no values or options have been changed from the default settings.:DOH:

I keep mentioning this, but when the forum came back on line the advanced posting page and the message page wasn't presenting the ones it is now. The ones I was presented with were much more restricted and without the smilies and font options, did anyone else have the same. I didn't get the fully functioning pages for posts and messages until I suffered the bug for the very first time three days ago and reset my password. Why??

I have had the same experience as Pete but that was not long after the change and it only occurred once.

 

Did you ever read MAD Magazine, Ziggy??, the catch phrase for it was "What me, worry??", and since I've been through the worst - I dinna worrie anymore The bug problem doesn't worry me, it's just irritating - plus the fact that there's no cream to cure it

 

Alfred E Neuman - my hero

I've a big box in my loft full of Mad mags and books. (If the mice haven't got them )

 

I'm glad to see someone has the same fine tastes as me:D:yess::happydance: If Ziggy hasn't read any of them, he should:D
