Phoenix started a thread which she entitled "Is A2K losing some of its luster." Now, i found it a rather silly thread, as far as the concept goes, but was enjoying the responses.
But now, it's become the thread from Hell. I can't go past page two (and i'd already read that far)--if i try, then the whole damn thing locks up, and after waiting for what seems an interminable amount of time (ten minues or longer is an eternity online), i get a "page cannot be found" message. Then, when i try to navigate away, i have to wait for a long time to get back to the new posts page.
This is only happening to me with this one thread. Anyone else have that problem?
Just went through it as a test...seems to work fine for me. Maybe it's just a temporary glitch or you may have whacked the wrong keys and have to log out and then return.
No, this has been going on literally for hours. In fact, i turned off the computer, left with the little dogs, and came back hours later--same problem.
that happens in an interlecktual thread Set.
It happened to me this morning with the thread ... um, can't remember the title -- something about 06.06.06. If I were the believing sort, I'd think it was a sign.

Yeah, but i could still go there an goof on all the in-tea-lick-chew-alls . . .
Well that certainly is a puzzler. Since I am a genius in everything other than internet matters and computer technology I can't say as how I know what the problem might be. Is that lovely young lady of yours around? Perhaps you could find out if it is solely related to you or the computer in its entirety. In other words, if she is able to sign in on the same system and not have this problem then the matter may be connected to your person alone (although I'd be at a loss to knowing why). Have you sent a message to the head honchos?
In any case, I am going to take another gander at that post you mentioned and see if it freezes on me now.
I don't know about that particular thread, but it's happened to me at this computer and the one at home, on occasion. Some threads 'stick' for me. I wonder if it has to do with cache-clearing or somethin' like that?
When it happens on the puter at home, I just hit the reply box, and read backward from there - enter my response. That seems to 'unstick' things sometimes.
Mr Setanta, I fear that you are in error by looking into your mirror instead of your monitor. I know these things because I have several advanced degrees and have written a book. Assuming you are the real Setanta who never makes mistakes (including spelling errors) I refer you to Posner who may be willing to point you in the correct direction of your monitor while at the same time covering your mirror and moving it into another room to prevent such further errors on your part in the future.
Just offering my assistance,
The Possum.
I used to plead and cajole my computer into obeying by promising it juicy upgrades, but it grew steadily more uncooperating and frankly obnoxious. So I finally downloaded a movie on the internet of a guy who smashes in his computer in irritation, and doubleclicked it whenever my computer showed hickups.
It was subtle enough to appreciate the hint, but eventually, it corrupted the movie as well. So I killed it. Now, I just point to the monitor and say: "This is all that is left of your predecessor... Care to try your luck?"
Man, I should become a 'puter psych.
Naj.

Yeah, i've used that trick before. I tried it this time, and the system locked up when i hit the reply button, as well.

Clearly you are technologically challenged.

I've been using computers at work for more than twenty years--at home for at least ten.
Poopity head.
It is running normally for me.
I think you are being haunted, Set!
Setanta, you are being punished for being a big ole meanie. You have enraged the vengeful cyberdeity.

Oh that is explains it! Computers absolutely hate...detest...loathe...etc....being used. How would you like to be used old man? It is deplorable that you have been using them...and most likely for your own personal interests and satisfactions with little or no regard for their well-being and happiness.

So....of what does computer joy comprise?

Oh? I find more joy (and profit...though precious little of that god wot) in giving than receiving...

When I looked at this I noticed you were part of the last 3 (note: you did not say the previous 3 which would have successfully excluded you) so, have you chosen a headshrinker yet old man?
