1. Yesterday (3/12/07) I was having probs with the new banner. It kept hanging up and wasn't properly loading so my browser couldn't cache it. I finally downloaded it to my computer and when I tried to open it the alert was "contains no data". Late yesterday it finally loaded and hit my cache. Not sure if this server related, but at you know.

2. This morning (3/13/07) I had 3 threads open: "Daylight Savings Time", "Adobe to offer free online...", and "New U.K. Get a Mac Ads". Once open I could read, but not reply. Every time I tried to reply the thread would hang. I finally went away and now I'm here trying again. smile.gif

(I forgot ...)
3. When I attempted to reply using the "Fast Reply" box, clicking the "Enable Smiiles" presented me with a cute little BLANK window. dntknw.gif

Thanks kimmer, yesterday was a tough day for servers.

I had also experienced the slow banner load.

I think it's resolved now.

for some light reading wink.gif have a look at this.

I was getting "Server not found" errors here at work 5 minutes ago (8am CST).  This was on both the MAC and the PC.  It's working now if this goes through!

I just posted about Walter Reed and it gave me a screen like I hadn't logged in and then locked up!  I think it actually made the post.  1:10pm or so CST.

No it didn't post it; maybe I won't bother as someone might disagree with it!   sweatingbullets.gif

besides for TS crashing safari on my troublesome mac (nothing new and not TS's fault), i've seen no problems whatsoever.

Thanks Parker!
It was a one shot deal, their in, their out...... maybe their caught?

If you didn't know it, forums such as TS are invaded by many spammers and hackers. On top of that servers and networks are targeted. It's a never ending battle to keep the Good Guys in and the Bad Guys out.  hi.gif
