Comrade Ogilvy, it might be your internet browser causing blank pages, or sometimes it's just a few seconds glitch in general

Well I don't know what it is but I know the other place was fine, it also wasn't necessary to go deep into the bowels of browser settings in order to see images (which I haven't done yet).

I asked questions on the last thread but got no answer. Most probs on here are caused by IE.  This has been stated loads of times, so to call this place rubbish without listening to other FMs hints and tips on how to rectify these  seems to be giving up. Most folk have had probs on here, but asking for advice and getting it have made 100% difference in most cases. Please ask if you need help, and we will try our best, but posting these negative threads helps no one.

Is it the 'Are you liking it here? Where is everyone?' thread?

I can't see page 3 on there.

I know what u mean. I had only just got used to gaga the first forum I've eva been on. But there is help here. look for the support group there are lots of answers there.
For me on AOL it was poor, I searched for firefox and downloaded that, it works fine now. good luck

CO don't give up

Real : I'm not meaning to be negative just saying in my opinion that it is far inferior to the other forum which worked on IE just fine, no messing about at the user end required. I am feeling quite negative at the moment so perhaps it came accross that way.

Blizzie: Yes, that's the one.

Olly... I just posted on the support forum for you... copied your problem there for you, I hope you don't mind. They may be able to sort you out soon. Don't bail yet.

Not bailing, as I said I'll persist for a bit yet but I'd be lying if I said I was impressed with the 'upgrade'

I can't see page 3 either Blizzie.
(If and when it does finally appear I may find I have repeated a post 3 times in my frustration)

Well that's 3 of us.

can anyone see it ?

btw, how do you do quotes in here ?

CO.  Know how you must be feeling. IE seems to have probs with everything that is not related to Microsoft. Google "Firefox " and download their  browser.  I guarantee you will have no more probs. Sorry to have sounded so harsh, but IE seems to be the root of all probs on here, and the blame seems to  be targeted at LC. IE is crap at bonding with forums. Hackers target IE coz it's a primary Browser, Please try Firefox, and see how you feel then.

I think that's what a lot of folk haven't quite understood yet Olly. We were given a temporary home in gaga as was. But I always understood we would be integrated into LiveCloud from the beginning. As the LiveCloud system didn't have a forum already, the problems are occurring because it's a work in progress to integrate the two systems. And they are listening... it could have been very much easier to dump us after they gave us safe haven from the C4 forum closing. They chose not to.

hilight the text you want to quote with the left MB and it will appear auto in the reply box when you open it. Don't forget to refresh the page after to remove the previous quote.

Comrade, I have both firefox and IE7, I've just checked page 3 on Are you liking it here? Where is everyone?' thread? I can't view it, there is a sticky at the top of the page giving solutions for IE, I followed them and still couldn't view certain pages. I can only view all pages on here using Firefox, for the sake of your sanity download it. I need IE for work as I'm connected to a clients computer, but firefox is way easier honestly.

I've just downloaded Firefox and I can see page 3!

I've kept IE as my default setting Essex.

Just got Firefox on my desktop.

Is it quicker too, or am I imagining it?

well done blizzey,

I'm almost profeshnal now!

Only problem now is the pages don't automatically refresh on Firefox!

I'm sure that explanation helped like a hole in the head Real!  

OK to take it more simple steps.
Highlight the text on the page as you see it that you want to quote as if you were cutting and pasting.
Then open the Post Reply box at the top or bottom of the page.
You will then see the post within a lined box, but without the persons name by the way.
Type your reply underneath that box, but within the reply box.
Press Submit, and you will see it show on the page... maybe slowly if the forum is running slowly... but eventually.

I've got IE as my default setting only because I had hundreds of favorites, then found out you can export your favorites to bookmarks in firefox, but I preferred to just add certain favorites to firefox so they were easier to find. Also when I was on C4BB IE would sometimes lock me out, but I could generally get back in on Firefox, When my Firefox goes down it saves my tabs & re-instates them unlike IE. I find Firefox much better.

Picky, picky, picky... use the refresh button on your browser, you idle cahh!

Okay, got Firefox and well.. okay, everything iworks fine on it.

still prefer the layout of the old place though

<---runs out the thread

Get your arse back in here and have a chat

I opened this site in Firefox and I too can see page 3 in the "Are you liking it Here?" thread.
D`ya know I think some of my best work goes on by candlelight with a glass of wine!

glad to hear that comrade well done

*throws net over Olly to make sure Essex and Real get a chance to laugh and point!*

I don't do exercise!!

I s'pose I'll get used to it!

We will be known as the Page 3 Stunners.

While I understand Firefox is probably a superior browser to IE, it still seems a bit of a shame that the site doesn't run cross platform, who knows how many running it in IE could be put off.

My only experience of auto-refresh is when I make myself a cuppa...

That was why I first started using Firefox last year on Ch4... when the whole forum used to freeze up.... or the reply boxes got stuck...  It was a nightmare if you were trying to LUT... so I started using FF and loved it.

I have to say... I DON'T like the add ons with FF... and it started to really get on my nerves, always wanting me to look at this or that it was offering me.  So I went back to IE.  Stupid... got a malware infection cos of IEs vulnerabilities

Use Chrome now... and it is the best browser I have ever had, for my tastes.  Clean, quick, simple and sturdy!

Browsers are funny buggers, my client who I'm connected to works on IE6 I click a completion date button add an invoice number and automatically get paid, except on Vista, Vista had IE7 when I got it, viewed clients pages on IE7 all the buttons I needed were not visible, firefox wouldn't work, Vista does not support IE6, had to download a load of bollix to enable my IE7 to pretend it was IE6. Pulling my hair out I was.

I think there may be some Olly. But LC is working on stuff like this. They only knew it was a problem for some when we came over. I'm convinced it's being addressed.

I got lost somewhere in that

spawn of the devil!!!!

With you on that Lowi... Mac Land seems so much easier... but that is probably famous last words with me... my cable TV service has just packed up....
