Was wondering, is anyone experiencing this with the CTT site?????

[ChiefEagles]

I keep getting times I click on a topic or go to post a topic and the little green bars [green dashes on desktop] start and then stop.  Just sits.  If I click again, it loads immediately.  Have notified CTT IMS.  They can not isolate.  If anyone else is having this problem, please post.

Yes, I have experienced that too.

I typically use Firefox.

Yep, it just did it to me again, trying to post this. Got an error page and had to do it all over again.

[ChiefEagles]

Thanks guys.  Did it to me again on another thread.  Acutally froze up.

I thought it was just me... I sit and scream at the screen, click the links 8 times, and eventually it starts behaving...

I don't get such messages with IE 7. I have an issue in that I do not see my posts when using Safari v.1.2 - so I'll post something and it won't appear as the latest posting under a header. Next time I go into the forum, it is there. I'm sure it is a Safari issue

Chief, when I make a post from my computer at work it does the same thing. My computer here at home does OK.

No, it is not just yours. I have Windows XP with Internet Explorer and I have to click out and back into the Internet to see my post as the last post.

well i am using  xp and interenet explorer and am not having any diffuculties...must be a east coast thing.........j/k wonder whats up?

[dwiemer]

Often have the same problem.  Sometimes, I will attempt to post, it seems to take forever, when I click on "Post" again, it will come up with the control message about posting too frequently, and time needed between  posts.  Gets frustrating.

I have been experiencing no problems at all, lately !!  I'm still in the dark ages though with Windows ME. Last night stuff was taking a while to load though.

Thanks, John 

[Blueberryhill RR]

OH ,  NO !!!

Maybe I'm tied in with the Southern System.

Yep !!  That's exactly what is happening & they clogged up your lines with grits !!

Well, it is flying right now after a very slow evening.  Not the Road Runner service as OGR and The Gauge [which use to be real slow] are flying.  I'm on XP on older desktop and Vista on laptop.  So, its the CTT system.  With all this info, maybe they can find the problem.  Time and how much it happens will help.

[mitchelr]

No problems here in G'burg except that I cannot get the editing bars to show up in the message window unless I use Firefox (Safari and IE never have worked with the new software).  I am running a Mac with OS version 10.4.

I sometimes find the need to click a second time on a link to get it to open, but I think that's either because I don't click hard enough the first time or because the cursor is moving when I click. It happens on a lot of sites, not just this one with me.

Nope,no problems.

Probably those little green men!

I thought it was an aol problem, or my computer.  I've had the computer lock up to the point that ctrl-alt-delete wouldn't work and I had to kill the power and restart.  Also sometimes when I go to reply and hit the reply arrow I get kicked back to the forum topic screen.

I thought that I needed a new hard-drive for the computer but went to another website and it worked fine.  My complaint is the Sunday Photo Fun download time as it can take up to five minutes to download the entire page, some of it comes through but I have to wait a few minutes for all items to show up.

I checked with the local computer store and the guy said I have more than enough R.A.M.

[ezmike]

Yep, that exactly how I was able to read your post. Sometimes in the middle of a postor reply the screen re-sets itself to a blank reply page or back to the original post.

It has been happening to me for several weeks.  Other websites are much faster.

[jefelectric]

It gets a little slow for me at times, but no major problems.  But what the heck, it is free and I appreciate CTT providing the service.

[Deputy]

Ever since the last forum upgrade (?) I haven't been able to post using my Juno web browser. Have to switch over to Internet Explorer to post anything. Otherwise, it's been okay.

Today the word heading or captions are Missing!!!! Had to click where I thought the headings were located.

Just did it again.  Would not open this thread and had only 2 little green bars and holding.  Clicked again and open right up.

Later, went to post the above, did the same, clicked again and it posted immediately.

[Deputy]

Just for the heck of it I tried using Firefox. Worked okay and was able to post okay. But seems like just another version of IE. Still can't post with my Juno browser.

Chief,

Just remember how all this software and technology is making our lives easier and stress free. I’d email you a lengthy explanation as to how our lives are easier, but I’ve blue screened. Now, if I could just remember where I put that paper and pencil.

 

Seriously thou, some of the issues raised here seem to be a dial-up issue. To find a problem, a common denominator needs to be found. Let’s assume the boys at CTT did their homework and built a bug free software for all platforms. Let’s also assume their server is running smooth, no derailments.  So are those with problems on dial-up, high speed etc.

Here's the really strange thing....BEFORE the last upgrade everything was workig fine and there were no threads that I can remember about forum problems. Now there are constant threads popping up complaining about glitches and bugs. This was an upgrade?????  

 

[c50truck]

Deputy,

That's my point. As these software writers try to reinvent their sites, adding more bells and whistles, it tends to choke those of us on dial-up. I use Firefox on highspeed at my daughters, no problems ever with this site. Using the same browser on dial-up at home, it stalls, hic-ups etc.

Folks who write html need to remember, there are a lot of us out here stuck on dial-up, and could be for a few years to come. That's my .

But as mentioned, it's free, so no complaints.

Guys, I'm on Beep Beep [Road Runner] and have had it checked and they say speed is right on.  SO?  I do run some blockers but can disable it by holding down the control key.  Does not help at all.  I can also monitor the blockers by looking in the bar below the main screen on the left.  Its after all is done and it just sits.  This seems to be especially true at night.
