Tormie,

what have you done? I can't see any pics attached to messages in Internet Explore   , only in Firefox.

No more playing  for you    till this is fixed!!

Um, even behind a paranoid fire-wall, my IE6 still shows those piccies on BBB & WW/C-D threads...

But, after everything loads on page, there is often a 5~~10 sec pause while this underpowered Browser_PC gathers its wits...

Hi Posfan, I just checked the pages with internet explorer and all looks fine, btw if an user is not logged in the attachments don't show, so what I did is to clear the cache of the site and clear also the session table (so everybody has to login again and leahman will email me because he doesn't remember his password ). In the process I also noticed a couple of icons missing from the pages and I fixed it.

I think that the problem is that you log out in internet explorer, if the pictures are not showing at all, you're logged out, if there is a big X instead of the picture, it's another kind of problem, you should tell me what you see (no pics or a big X).

If you see no pics and no red X you should delete the cookies related to the site, you find them in the options page of the browser, scroll the list of the cookies till you see "posetteoforever.com" and delete them, close the browser, open it again and log in, all should be fine   .

There is a little pause when a page is loaded because the site connects to a server that checks the IP, if the IP belongs to a spammer it is redirected to a special page...

Connecting to the site with different browsers but from the same IP address can also give login-logout problems because it can be interpreted like an attack by our drones

@ Nik

though my router firewall is picky I normally don't have such trouble neither with PF nor with other sites and since I'm on DSL there's no seconds pause

@ Tormie

it showed nothing, no red X nor the attachment bar. Already cleared the cookies (should be more precise next time) and dito - nothing. tried that over some days before I posted this topic.
However, now they're are showing up again, so this is fixed.    You're allowed to play again!!   Thankies!!    

Another thing I noticed is, that PF sometimes frozes Internet Explorer so I need to do a  reset Pc. never had that happened in Firefox though  

There is a quick solution ... Use Firefox !!

BTW, its strange, PF is no so powerful it would be useful to know if the PC freezes before, during or at the end of the page loading...

A rough day at PF.

my Firefox is for dangerous sites and forbids almost everything: java, Flash, and everything else which can be manipulated, and since PF has no ads or spamming, I use IE.

During loading.... and i really hate that! more

... well, only with the main page or in the other pages too ? Is it updated ? I mean I.E. 7 etc... That's strange...

I mean, we can't freeze the whole PC   ...

Ehm... Opera maybe ...

I think you can lower the security in Firefox to make it less aggressive. I really don't
know why anyone would want two browsers. I used to have IE but it is such a target these
days I like Firefox much better and they have even had a third edition just released.

It's a matter of taste Kenny Posy prefers Internet Explorer . too... I use 2 or more myself: to test the site and I permit the cookies installation only by known sites with firefox, while in internet explorer I take all and periodically I empty all the data, cookies, cache, history etc.

I heard other people use 2 or more him or herself to test the site and he or she permit the cookies installation only by known sites with firefox while in internet explorer he or she take all and periodically he or she empty all the data cookies cache history etc too.

Oh I agree on taste as far as browsers are concern but when you can use Firefox and
not get hit by Virus and for most spyware thanks to some free software how can
you go wrong. Had Windows 98 second edition with Firefox 2. Spybot and haven't had
a virus for 2 years. Can't beat that now can you.


Keep your Windows 98 folks. When you get tired of the Vesta crap and  they (hackers and viruses)
have forgot about the 98 OS can bring it back on line and run it like Linux.

Um, my old CAD_PC_1 is Win'98(2).

But, new versions of those CAD programs do not work on '98, few of my CAD programs work on XP, less of them work on Vista. To add insult to injury, although my XP CAD_PC_2 has ~ 3 Gb RAM, program bloat means proportionately less workspace per '32bit' program compared to the old 1Gb '98 system. To recover headroom, I must trade up to expensive '64' bit versions.

Now the killer: Rather than upgrade my *favourite* CAD program to '64bit', the makers dumped the old core-code and licensed a cut-down version of another package. That has a completely different look+feel, cannot use my custom models, cannot (yet) read earlier versions' files...
D'uh...

And, sorry, Tormie, I cannot get my router working. But, I'm *sure* I'm doing something stupid: If I keep reading modem and router PDF manuals, also 'Home Networking For Dummies' and 'Wireless Networking For Dummies', the truth may dawn...

@ Kenny, modern I.E. is honestly secure too, and I'm not fond of Bill Gates. You can get viruses on PC, today, using a browser, only clicking something that you should not click, a lot of people ( sometimes I fix these things too) think that the PC is clean when it's populated by a large community of them, mostly spywares. I share my main email addresses only with my friends and I receive every day tons of spam even if I sent my email only to know persons, this spam is in every language (a lot of them are about how to enlarge my penis or how to meet foreign girls ). It's because some of my friends has an email spyware and send their address book to spammers ... And they obvioulsy don't even know...

@ Nik, I can help you for sure, I set up a lot of router, just say me the model that you bought, I'll happy to give you a helping hand (you can even send me the informations by PM if you prefer)
