Annoying glitch in forum
Posted by tstage on Saturday, December 11, 2004 10:48 AM
Anyone else having this problem with navigating on the forum? When I try heading back to the post page, after either viewing, editing, or posting a new post, I sometimes get launched to a completely different post or forum? (Yesterday, I started in MR and miraculously materialized in Classic Toy Trains.)

As of late, this is becoming more and more of a frequent occurance for me. (I'll laugh if this happens after I press "Post New Topic")

UPDATE: Yep, it did!!!

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.

I've been having a problem at night waiting on the forum to load, and it's takes forever to switch topics. It's might be a server problem.
Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

What kind of Internet connection do you have? Any connections can be speeded up if in your personal profile you check off that you do not want to see the signatures in the posts. These large and sometime animated signatures add to the opening speed.

I've been having glitches too for a while. Sometimes if I click on "return to forum", I'll be returned to the menu with all of the forums, then have to wade through them to get back here.

I always right click on a post and select 'Open in New Window'. It makes navigating the forums much easier.

I do notice the forum "seems slow". I don't know if it is impression or reality. I use connection from my public library. I haven't seen the problems listed above.

The one I notice is that when I do a "search", with filter conditions, it may return several "pages". I go through the 1st. page, but when I try to go to others, the filters clear, and I am dumped back to the WHOLE forum. I haven't figured how to remidy that yet.

Gee, I thought that not being able to go to the next topic without returning to the forum topic list (General Discussion in this case) was a problem.

Otherwise, I have very little trouble with this forum. My response time is excellent (the cable modem helps) and I always find myself on the expected page.
