Strange message board behavior

Max · 7th August 2003, 04:35 PM

In the thread here there is something strange going on. I replied to the thread, but my message does not appear. It is blank. However, if I click edit then I can see everything I wrote in the edit box. Choose Save Changes and it takes me back to the thread, where again my message does not appear.

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks,

Max

I can see it just fine. Can you post a screentshot of what it looks like?

Sure, here is what I'm seeing. I cut the picture down so that it only shows the last three messages. Note that I can't see what Felon wrote in his message above mine either (assuming there is something there).

Obviously, my posts here in the Meta board are showing up fine. I did a ctrl-refresh on the thread in question for the heck of it, but I still can't see the message.

Thanks,

Max

Ok, somehow it was my computer acting up. I cleared out the internet cache and rebooted and now everything is fine. I have no idea what happened, but a good old re-boot seems to have fixed it.

If anyone has a theory I'd be interested to hear it. Thanks for taking a look, kreynods.

No problem.

What browser and version are you using?

Max · 7th August 2003, 06:14 PM

IE 6 with all patches, updates, etc loaded.

Win2K or XP? Any pop-up blockers?

Win XP pro. And I do have the Google tool bar that includes a pop up blocker. Think maybe that is the culprit? I have it at home as well and haven't seen similar behavior.
