Strange Problems?

[BornFromTheVoid]

For the last 3 hours I've been getting large areas of code on the forum homepage, different sections of the page repeating itself (e.g., The top with the netweather logo, and forums-member-blogs etc., underneath it repeating itselg at the bottom of the page) or sections missing, and I'm unable to use things like opening status comments (just sends me to the top of the page) and expanding images (get redirected to a blank page).

Any ideas? Using Chrome and never had these problems before?

I have had strange things tonight too I use chrome.

I had that yesterday afternoon on Chrome, I think it was an advert not loading correctly as everything is fine this morning.

I had this problem yesterday using Firefox. I closed it down and it cleared.

Clearing the browser cache is a good plan.

Tried it last night 4wd.

The problem seems to have largely gone this morning. This was the type of thing that was happening

For the past 24 hours or so, I have been unable to access the main page of the Netweather forum. I click on it, and almost instantly it stops loading and says it is unable to load the page.

The only way I can access parts of the forum is to do a Google Search related to the Netweather forum and come in via that link to log in and reach each of the sub-forums. I have tried using IE9, Chrome and Firefox but they all do the same thing.

Also, if I try to access the main page via one the subforums, sometimes it flashes with the light lilac blue background of the forum and a white page with nothing on it several times, then seemingly gives up and says it is unable to load the page. Very rarely, it will load the main page for literally a split second but it disappears and says it is unable to load the page.

All other parts of the site appear to be working fine, including the Member list, Blogs and Gallery etc.

This is what appeared when I logged out a few minutes ago, which would flash, then disappear, flash then disappear, and so on...

Have saved the sub-forums into my favourites, so I can still access the site and see if anyone responds, lol.

When I try to access some sub-forums even further, it does a similar thing to above.

That's exactly what I got as well.

I have been getting a "busy page" from time to time: http 408/409?

I've got that message about 3 times today but just refreshing the page makes it work again.

[TonyH]

Error 408 and 105 can't use site on the computer this is on my mobile and on this the reply box is tiny so I can't see what I am typing! My internet has generally gone to pot this week too related perhaps?

The problem has been even worse this evening. Mostly loading pages of just the background colour or getting request timeouts.

When the page does load, the layout is a mess!

[Paul]

Is this still happening now? I've made some config changes in the last 2 minutes..

[BornFromTheVoid]

Whatever you've changed seems to have done the trick. No problems since I posted last.

[Paul]

Result, thanks for letting me know.

[TonyH]

I managed to get in now, hopefully what you did will help Paul, but i need to sort my internet out!

[NorthNSW]

Yep, everything is now working normally. Thankyou for promptly fixing the problem.

[johnholmes]

before I lost my web link Tuesday (only been returned 15 minutes ago-bloody BT and no phone either!)I had some of the problems outlined, chiefly the bit with the repeat of items at the page bottom. One other thing I am still getting is a very brief blacking out of the whole page, usually too quick to get a Prt Scn to show what happens?

[johnholmes]

hi Paul

If you are around

the screen shots below are two examples of oddities I get?

and

any ideas please?

done the usual checks and emtying cache etc

[Paul]

I think that's a browser incompatibility more than anything John, you need to update it.

[johnholmes]

to what please Paul?

[Paul]

To the latest version of IE, or alternatively Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Opera - totally up to you.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Another problem I'm afraid!

For the last week, when viewing the GFS and ECM charts, about 75% of the time, only data selected from one of the drop down menus is displayed. The other drop down will show nothing, not even an error message or anything. But the first image still shrinks to make room for the 2nd one.

25% of the time it works fine. I've tried ctrl and f5, but that hasn't helped. The problem is on both Chrome and IE.

[Paul]

Don't think that's something at our end this time, we've made no changes to the system at all of late and it's definitely working fine in all browsers. Are you perhaps only doing it on the 0 hour charts, some charts (such as precip) don't display at 0 hours.
