It is getting more difficult to access the Off Topic thread. There is some kind of glitch, perhaps associated with the fact the thread is so long? I don't know.

Here's what happens, as it happens to me as well..

The Off Topic forum section won't load at times.

All's I will get is that of "Post a new topic" at the top of the page with all of the other discussion threads/topics missing.

Not there.

Gone.

Blank page.. for the most part.

I've not picked up any rhyme or reason on the notes of the whys or whens it does happen.


(p.s. For future reference.. any kind of glitches, bugs, problems, technical issues with the site.. post to the "Feature Bloat / Bug Squash" section.

Or.. conversely..

If 'you' (speaking generally here) have an idea or something that you would like to see implemented or incorporated.. post away there as well.)

Some days I have not been able to get on at all without numerous tries throughout the day. And sometimes I am able to answer one question, and then I'm locked out and can't get on again.

Just out of curiosity.. do you clear your browser's cache frequently?

I've not really tested whether or not it makes a difference.

Such as, logging out of the site.. clearing the cache (browser history, to be clear).. and then logging back in to see if it rectifies the issue.

I clear the browser's cache often. It's one of my OCD quirks! I cleared it just now as an experiment, and I can't get on "Off Topics." I do use Firefox.

I just went through "Post a new topic" page hell for this entire section of forums, lol.

And I did try clearing the cache.. to no avail.

But.. lo and behold.. and some minutes later.. all is well again.

(Firefox here, too.)

Could it be a form of flood control? I just got one of those. Then, right after posting my message successfully, got a blank Off Topic page.

What if one person gets flood control posting something, then the whole board freezes for everyone?

"Could it be a form of flood control?"

Interesting.

Whether you posted something or not, you're not allowed in again for a while. It's the same with all the boards.

Or then again, sometimes you are.

I have a hunch.. that what is transpiring might.. might, that is.. have something to do with the spammers and spambots as of late.

That is a really good thought! The trouble did start around that time.

A boy walked into a pharmacy and asked the pharmacist to give him something to cure the hiccups.

The pharmacist merely leaned over and slapped the kid on the back.

"Why did you do that to me?" asked the boy.

"Well, you don't have the hiccups now, do you!"

The boy replied, "No, but my mom out in the care still does!"

... ...

I blame Ron for encouraging me.. he should know better.
