Ron,

I am way west in Perth for a few weeks. I lost it last Thursday but am back on now.

[sunshine]

I lost it last Thursday No eye candy with my morning coffee was just awful

It wouldn't let me download pictures. So I down loaded to phototbucket then copy and paste the [IMG][IMG].

[Greybeard]

Hey Ron I know what your going through, I wasn't able to get on for three days last week So far everything is working here in Ohio with the exception of downloading pics, haven't tried this morning yet but couldn't do it all weekend I have heard on other threads that there are still glitches to work out I read that Fred and Dave are working on it

[fred]

Hi all
I have been in contact with Dave and the issues are being worked on
I have had geeks send me an email about the problems as well
yesterday I ran the maintenance tools in the admin panel so I have also sent Dave a copy of this thread.
I will keep you all posted

[pikkumyy]

Hi Steve, now I have a bigger problem were are my internet cookies, hidden, seriously.

I usually get up each morning and do all the checking and watering in the orchid house, Have breakfast & then sit in front of the computer with a cup of coffee and enjoy the chat on the Geeks page.
Now have to go into each segment to check what is happening, still unable to get the latest 70 page to come up so maybe a cookie issue.
I will look into where this is
Thanks.

[philthy]

I found that I have to resize my photos in order for them to work where I feel before the site did it as I uploaded them. There's a chart that tells you the limit of info you can upload depending on your format when you use to store photos.

Ron
In your browser look under Tools/Internet Options. It should be there somewhere depending on what version/Internet browser you use
This is in Internet Explorer 9

[fred]

I love it when geeks pull together to help each other out
that makes geeks what it is

[Ron]

Worked for me Ron but obviously not for you

[Ron]

Hi all, until they work out what is effecting this page I am unable to view what the latest 70 postings are. Or matter of fact what order are any postings in unless I check each date of the posting.
My daughter in Canberra try and has the same problem

Well, until they work out the problem I am off on a big break

[Shannara]

Am I the only who has had "white out" twice now over the past 24 hours? The site keeps coming up blank or with random errors when I try to bring the site up.

I am curious what is going on...

Shann~

[Dendian]

Oh no - you are definitely not the only one.

It goes away - for a bit - then comes back. I don't really mind - unless I am in the middle of trying to reply on a post. Then it becomes aggravating! Because when I push the button to post the reply it goes to an error page - and when I go back everything I just typed in is gone!

It just goes into Laa Laa Land... so I just go get a drink - or go potty - or go talk to the chids.. and come back and refresh - and Taa Daa - there it is!

Oh, I do have one more funny - a lot of times when I press the "Post Quick Reply" it will try to double post. I am very careful to only click on it once.. but it tries to double post! Then it comes back with the message that you must wait one minute between posts - for which I am very grateful or I would be double talking!

[fred]

just to let you all know I have just sent a copy of this thread to the site owner as well letting him know that some geeks profiles can not be viewed
I am sure it will be in the hands of the programmer pretty soon

[pikkumyy]

yeh mine just had a white out too, very weird, and all i had to do was wait 10 mins and it was back

[Greybeard]

I've had white outs and fatal error msgs. too but I know Fred and Dave are working hard on it The good thing the site hasn't gone entirely down, I'd go cookoo bananas without my Geek fix Drats! I'm already bananas

[Shannara]

It happened again last night around 1:30 am EST. I made a screen capture of the error. Looks like a php handling error to me. Normally the text is all on one line but I edited it into two so photobucket wouldn't shrink it down.



HTH

[Ron]

Hi now have the New posts page working good for me so am using this,
seems some things are getting back to normal.
I even manged to post some photos without any promblems

[norris]

I have been trying to post a pic using the 'Manage Attachments' feature since the first crash, and I still can't.

[Shannara]

Just FYI...

The 70 most recent threads link is breaking at the moment. I am getting internal server error messages and function.include errors about php files.

I also just noticed my favorites icon for geeks has just changed...wait...it just changed back again.

Shann~

[Olive Cook]

I had that problem too Ron, yesterday I think. I was afraid the site had been hacked again, I'm glad to see it's getting fixed now though
