Glitch

[Fla._Deadheader]

  Yesterday and today, I respond to posts, and the message is NOT placed in the thread.

  Get a message   No subject was entered in the subject box. ???  What's up with that ???

[Roxie]

Prolly hung up in the wires between here and CR.   :  How many banana/mango daquiri's did ya have before ya hit send? 

[Weekend_Sawyer]

Bananna/Mango daquir  Mmmmmm.

[Jeff]

It simply must be the forum again eh?  ;)   How many files did you delete with the $ sign?

[Roxie]

tech support is on the way..............

[leweee]

 :D :D :D

[Dave Shepard]

I got that once over the weekend too. Harold and I must have computers made by the same person. : Mine is always up to something new and excedingly annoying. And if that doesn't work, it does something old and annoying.

Oughta know better than to expect any help from this bunch.  : :

  Everybody's a freakin comedian-enne.  ??? ??? ???

  Thanks for the response Dave.

[Fla._Deadheader]

For all the comedians-enne's, I'm still getting that same message ???

  Is it just ME ???

[Roxie]

I'm sorry Harold.  You make such a tempting target.   

[Radar67]

Harold, have you tried clearing your cache and temporary files from your browser?

[Fla._Deadheader]

 Just tried 6 times to reply. Finally, had to type in the subject.

  Yes, Radar, I dump that stuff 2 times per month, or more.  ???

  Roxie, why is that ???  Be honest. 

[Roxie]

Yer just so easy.......

[Radar67]

Not to sound like I'm picking on you, but the simple solution would be to check the subject line before you post your reply. If it is blank, fill it in.

I know, you normally don't have to fill in the subject when you reply, but something is causing your computer to blank it out, or you are unknowingly hitting a key that blanks it out before you start typing your reply. Just a SWAG. 

[Fla._Deadheader]

 

Yer just so easy

  Comes from not having anything to hide, I guess. Just lay it all out, and take what hits come along  ??? ??? : :

  Thanks, Radar. Seems that THIS thread is the worst one. I just had to type it in AGAIN.   ??? ???

  maybe I DO need to move on  ??? ???

[Jeff]

Let me get this straight now,

The thread that gives you the most problems is the thread you started to tell us about all your problems?  smiley_tom_dizzy01

You got a problem... :D   I swear Harold, you and computers are like oil and water.  Maybe try oiling it.

[Fla._Deadheader]

Maybe I'll just p e e on it  >:( >:( >:(

[Jeff]

Maybe I'll just p e e on it  >:( >:( >:(

:D :D    (wear insulation)

[Fla._Deadheader]

R U B B E R S  ??? ??? ??? ??? : : : : : : ;) ;) ;)

[beenthere]

I don't have the problem. So I'm not much help. 

[Reddog]

No problem here.

WDH  Whoops....FDH   (sorry, for the slip....and Jeff has it nailed down... :D :D)
What happens if you don't type anything in the subject line?

(As I try....after blanking it out.)

Ok....reject for "no subject was filled in" error..

Nope....that has never happened to me before.  : :

I have the answer. Its the same reason why wasthere is calling FDH WDH.  smiley_old_guy

[Don P]

When your reply screen pops up is the subject highlighted in dark blue? If so when you hit any key does it go blank?

I dunno but some form of that is the only thing I can think of  ???

[Fla._Deadheader]

This time, it got it right  : : : ;D

  USUALLY, the subject line is Blank, along with the title box, as in PM's. I get it with PM's also.

  Also, I get D e l a y e d timeouts, quite regular. That's probably trying to access a foreign country, (USA).   :D :D :D

[WDH]

I don't know whether to feel honored or not ;D

Harold,

I've got problems, just not the same as yours ;).

[Fla._Deadheader]

Danny, did you ever try the coffee ??

[WDH]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....strong!

I know it's not a glitch, but I noticed a couple links from Google and Yahoo being displayed toward the end of each page load. I guess that's how those search engines do their indexing?

http://www.google.analytic.com   was one I caught in a glimpse.

[Jeff]

Google analytics is a code I have plugged in to record traffic stats and patterns for the Forestry Forum. Basically a glorified hit counter.

Speaking of Google, this morning I am using a new browser that I am growing fond of. It minimal and fast.  Google Chrome. Yep, Google now has a web browser.
http://www.google.com/chrome

One feature I like, that helps clean up the browser window, is that the address bar is also the search bar.

[Dale Hatfield]

not to help Harold case any  as it seams yall having good fun with him. So here is a chance to poke at me.
I allways use quick reply  and last few i have use i have got messages back that said It was not leagle for me to post their, or something had failed .Which were generated by the forum. But the message always posts just get weired  warning message.

[Jeff]

You need to be specific with what the warning messages said if I can figure out if its forum generated or not. Warning messages are part of the database. They are exact phrases generated and returned when certain conditions are or are not met. 

[Fla._Deadheader]

I'm STILL having to copy, refresh, paste, sometimes. I am now holding down the post button for 5 seconds before releasing it. MOST times, it will send. PM's are as bad, or worse ???

  I recently upgraded to Firefox's newest version, and deleted ALL Adobe flash files, then reloaded and installed. Now, I can see video links and active screen stuff, on the screen. It DID help stabilize the AVG anti-virus program, also.

  I've about given up asking for help on the FF, anymore ??? 

[Jeff]

 I've tried to help you in the past the best I can.

[Radar67]

Trying to fix a computer that you can't sit in front of is like trying to put a puzzle together without the picture. It is possible to do either, but the difficulty level is much harder.

[Dave Shepard]

Radar, we were never allowed to look at the puzzle box after it was opened, that was cheatin', and subject to reprimands. ;) :D


Dave

[Radar67]

How many of them puzzles went unfinished?  :D

[SwampDonkey]

I'm surprised Google waited so long for a browser to be honest. But, I'll bet it's a "thumb to the nose" directed at MS for attempting a take over.  ;D :D 8)

Hey Jeff, just a heads up...  there are some security things to be aware of with the current version of Chrome:

I never use a browser to remember passwords but for those who do, this is one of the reasons it can be bad.

As I told you before, your machine was infected with probably more than one virus/trojan/worm.  The symptoms you described to us lead me to believe that it had actually been compromised as a result of the infection(s).  I had recommended you backup, format, and reinstall the system (fully patching it and all apps in the process).

That being said, last I knew, you had opted not to do this, instead trying to clean it enough just to make it work again.  It is my opinion that no one here can help you with this system until you've taken the above steps.
