problem loading this site

Im having some trouble loading this site, Im not having trouble with any other sites atm..
I can't see all those funny icons that say whether or not there has been a new post, it just displays their ALT text, in white, and allways. I first noticed this the 13th of september, somewhere around midday in GMT.
It doesn't look like anything serious, but its strange..

What browser are you using? Is it the same in other browsers?

My guess is it's a caching issue (or similar) at your end.

FireFox, and I never had this before, and I didn't even change anything..
And it also does this in Opera.. (which is really odd because Opera stores just about everything it ever encounters)

Re-enable images or increase your connection timeout time? Check allowed images? Adblock?

Well arcane, as I said: I didn't change anything.
And I'm seeing some images, just not all (5yr-Trophy.gif never shows up, neither does icon_minipost.gif, and NoNewposts sometimes shows up and sometimes doesn't)

Any other computers on your network you could try it from? Does it happen on any other sites as well? Do remote signature (such as mine) images (that aren't stored on this domain) work on this site?

Your image works, and I can't use my sisters computer unless I'd go into her room and that generally isn't a good idea..
And it doesnt happen on other sites.

Oh and a sec ago it refused to show the grayish colour, I just got the reddish under-colour. Looked really odd, odd enough to take a screeny of.
go see it here

(did you see the nice "4,1 days saved" in top right corner?

)

I've had that problem before in many browsers. It was just caused by the page not loading completely.

Yeah I've had that happen sometimes, mostly caused by the server though. In which case it would be the same result for all visitors.

If it loads remote images it could be max pipelines/connections per host/server in FireFox, but that doesn't carry over to other browsers.

Can't be a timeout isue because my images must take longer to connect and GET to.

And then there's that it doesn't happen on any other sites. (clear your cache before checking)

Reboot.

Clear your cache and check everything again.

Ask your sister to check from her PC for you. If it also happens on other computers on your network that would pinpoint the problem a little bit. Then you could try browsing with the modem directly (software firewall!) on your computer, or an alternative router to see if there's a little fault with that. Only this site having the problem would discredit that possiblity, but that's where caching could come in, this could just be the only site you've checked that wasn't cached (yet/anymore).

thanx that helped!
cleaning the cache did, but I don't understand what exactly was wrong..

Settings were probably changed, may not have been by you but maybe a program..

King Harold · Post by **King Harold** » Tue 14 Nov, 2006 5:44 pm

Or, I was thinking, maybe the cache was full? But shouldn't FF have complained about it?

@kalan: that's allways possible

Arcane WIzard · Post by **Arcane WIzard** » Tue 14 Nov, 2006 6:04 pm

Maybe your cache was full, I don't know.

Post by **benryves** » Tue 14 Nov, 2006 6:05 pm

Both Firefox and Opera are known (at least, with out-of-the-box settings) to be rather too keen to hold on to cached data and not always update it. This might be related.

Point is that you should make use of CCleaner
