Title: Can´t see... ahh, WTF! Which computers suck?
Post by: jaz on Tue 06/01/2004 13:08:07
I don´t know whether it should go here, probably yes but...

While I use my home computer, I cannot see and click on subjects at forums. Everything else works just fine, I can see and click on who has started the topic and number of replies, but subject field is just blank.
I have encountered this problem at other YabbSE powered forums too. I guess it has something to do with my browser settings. I run MSE 6. I tried Opera but it´s just the same.

Any of you could help?


Thanks, jaz

Um, maybe you have some funky virus? That kinda stuff used to happen to me with proboards forums, but I ran a virus scan, found a virus and it stopped.

Maybe you would find the answer from Yabb's help forums?

Sorry I can't be of more help. I have no idea how these forums work. :)

do you have norton internet security running?

i had that and it blocked lots of scripts from the internet mostly things that weren't harmful

Maybe you recently installed a firewall? They also block scripts and ads and cookies and stuff, so maybe it's one of those things...

Maybe your computer just plain sucks!

Maybe there's a problem with your computer configuration.

Ya know, DG, all I had to do was note that the last post was made by you, to be able to guess the reply.

I did get it a bit wrong, though.  I figured it'd be more like, "Maybe it's just user-error, Fuckwit!"

DG: Don´t  give in political corectness, I preferred consciseness of the former post. Such a brilliant insight into complicated world of IT should be appreciated not criticizsed ;D.

Indeed. DG is one of today's briliant minds and is even Time's Man Of Teh Year. Keep up the literary genius and mind-boggling intellect, DG! :D

So, I was right -- your computer does suck!

Even my old 286 in the garage gathring dust is a better computer.

So upgrade now -- BUY A DELL OR AN EQUALLY POWERFUL COMPUTER!!  ;D ;D

See, I know my stuff -- I didn't start a tech support thread for nothing!

By a strange coincidence it happens to be a Dell computer...My other computers work just fine.

Btw, I have old Pentium 233 MMX gathering dust in my attic, can you beat THAT?!!
Title: Re:Can´t see AGS forums :-(
Post by: DGMacphee on Wed 07/01/2004 17:02:57
WTF!!!

DELL SUX!!

Don't you read PC Weakly or other generic computer rmagazine?

Also, P233 MMX is slower than 286.

Don't you know?

it goes P233, Apple, C64, Atari, 286, Athlon 1800 XP!!!!!

Of course I don´t read shit like this you fool!
The only magazine I subscribe to is Makelele Chipware from Peoples Republic of Free Kongo. They had an excellent article on overclocking Sinclair ZX 80 processor up to 9 Mhz using coconut milk emulsion in last issue. It´s only a pitty that sometimes I get a semi-automatic machine gun in the package instead.

BTW I just doated my 8006 to NASA. They claim they use them to search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

EDIT: who knows, maybe they´ll find you ;D.

Turn your computer off, unplug everything from it, open a window, bring it over to the window, and heave it out the window.  Then, put on your shoes, go outside, and take a deep breath.  Or, go to Microsoft's website and look for help.

Nah, they don't really matter.

Would DG get offended if I told him I had an Athalon XP 2500+?

Did you get a green or amber monitor?

Maybe I can touch your forehead with my glowing finger and unretard your subhuman brain.

And your computer still sucks.

EDIT: [insert stupid shit here] ;D

Also, I'm not offended by Duck owning an Athlon 25000 XP -- Althons are good and easy to upgrade.

Plus, that way no one buys Intel, who are capitalist bloodsuckers and enslave migrant workers and oompa loopmas to manufacture their dirty, rotten chips.

Damn, now i want to drink some of that Fizzy drink stuff that makes you fly, and the only way down is to burp.

But, oh well, i never found the golden ticket in my candy bar. So i guess i'm stuck outside.

btw, Dell's do suck!! Go E-Machines!!

No offense, DGM... but Athlon processors suck... I have keep installing fans just to keep mine cool... what am I up to now, 3?

Maybe if you got it right the first time, Hyde?  ;)
I'm running an athlon 2400+ w/ stock cooling.  The only fans in the system are the CPU fan, Radeon fan & PSU fans and it runs pretty cool (about 51°C under full load).

Not that I have any idea on what is going on Jaz, but since you haven't solved it yet here's a few uneducated ideas:

+ Check the source of the page and see if the subjects are in there. If they are try the next tip.
+ At first I thought maybe you had adjusted the size of the font in the browser but you say you tried opera also, try mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/) as well just to see.

I have no idea how to solve it, but as has been suggested above it could be a virus or spyware. Check your computer with an antivirus program then run Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoft.nu/) or Spybot - Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=news) or both to get rid of most of the spyware you've got.
