Geoff Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey guys, Just got put on a new server at work and I'm thinking it's the reason for a couple of issues I'm having with the board... but it doesn't make sense to me how server changes could affect my time here. I'm puzzled. So is anyone else having these problems: 1. I cannot "Fast Reply" at all anymore. It just simply doesn't respond when I click the icon. 2. When I try to create a poll there are no poll options at all. I can't create one. All I get is the thread title and sub-title and then the message body, but no poll options at all. Is this just me, or have others got this? More importantly... any ideas how I can fix it? Cheers, Geoff of Lampton Palms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob62972 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Everything works for me. I'm using Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiplash1972 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Everything's working fine for me as well.... First thing I'd suggest, if you haven't already done so, is clear your browser's cache, and empty your cookies. Then log back in to the board, and try those features again and see what happens.

Mike Should I be embarrassed to say I'm not sure how to do that. I'm not sure I can delete cookies and stuff here at work. I could try though...

Geoff Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hmmm, just deleted all my cookies and still got the same problem. Not sure what the 'cache' thing is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacharyamelie Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Is it a few hints that Geoff is slowly being excluded? Next his avatar will be replaced by a photo of a greased up Manowar and then all the threads that include the word "Cauterize" will be removed never to be seen again. Maybe....just maybe.

Now if this same joker will put in a poll for my FM/White Lion thread I will pat him on the back for his crafty moderating ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 You wanna know what else I don't have access to anymore? The smilies. I can only use the ones I know off the top of my head like - and I think that's about it. Oh, and I don't get the smiley menu anymore. This computer is f*cked.

You know, the poll creation, the fast reply, and the smilie selection all use JavaScript. Do you have JavaScript disabled or are you using some ancient web browser?...

C'mere snoogums... Oh wow... thank you! We will definitely hug soon! I just voted in my own poll I was unable to create. For this I will keep the new avatar for a little longer. I was almost thinking of changing it soon anyway... even if I did adore that sweet little girl I had only an hour ago. You wanna know what else I don't have access to anymore? The smilies.

You know, the poll creation, the fast reply, and the smilie selection all use JavaScript. Do you have JavaScript disabled or are you using some ancient web browser?... I bet I do have Javascript disabled. How would I find that out and can I fix it? It sounds likely though because I used to see something about Javascript before all the changes and I don't see it anymore on this new server. And I'm not sure about the web browser, but all the settings and colours are different on this site and it looks very... shall I say, "old school"? Is that what the kids say these days?

Is that what the kids say these days? Hmmm... that sounds like external stylesheets (CSS) aren't being loaded. I think your computer or browser is a bit more than slightly fucked. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aMetalhead1966 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Dear Geoff, You might try this, it only takes two seconds: 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change directions. Hopefully this will help with any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aMetalhead1966 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Geoff, try these.. * Verify that the telescope's computer control panel power switch is in the ON position. * Flip the power switch to OFF and verify that the coil cord is firmly connected between the computer control panel's HBX port and the Autostar coil cord connector port (11, Fig. 1). * Verify that the telescope batteries are installed correctly and that they have sufficient charge (see the telescope instruction manual). * If using an AC or DC power source, verify that the power source is properly connected between the 12 volt connector on the telescope's computer control panel and either a wall plug (AC source) or a car lighter (DC source). * After the battery or alternate power source connections are verified, flip the power switch to ON and verify that the power indicator light is illuminated. * If Autostar does not respond to commands, flip the power switch to OFF and then back to ON. *If it does not work put it in the oven for 2 hours until its crust is crisp and flakey!!

Geoff Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks for all you awesome help, guys. It's still f*cked though. The funny thing that's happening now, is I (naturally) type all these deep, indepth and intelligent posts. Before I post them I look at them and go, 'Wow, dude. I'm so proud of you. You really nailed it.' Then I hit the post button, the screen refreshes and that f*cking avatar pops up and extinguishes all my awesome work. In summary, the party's over. Time for a new avatar... if that still even works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
