We seem to be having some problems with our server this morning so dont freak. If you cant get on... just keep randomly trying.

Sorry for the clitch, it will be taken care of very soon. In the meantime, if you cant get it, please keep trying!

One of the greeters can start a head count if they'd like. Especially if the problem persists. Now that Im in.... Im staying in so I'll keep a mental note too.

Thanks Ya'll

i noticed that earlier but i thought it might have been from my end.

It's broken it keeps asking me to download php files.
kyria told me to clear out my internet files cache that seemed to have helped.

Thats what I did and Im getting in and out fine now, too.

are we addicts or what ?? lol

The server problems arent with our board but with Firefox.

Go back to internet explorer if you cant get it.

Thats good but I sure miss my firefox.

My head is spinning. I don't know what clearing out your internet cache means. Am I pathetic or what. But thankfully it let me on. Just last night it wouldn't let me post. Kept coming up with some white page and I didn't bother to read any of it as it wouldn't have made any sense anyway. If the server is "broke" will it be fixed and all will be good??

You use internet explorer anyway dont ya Jen?

Then dont sweat it! Youre good to go!

me too but i'm here now incase you're trying to get ridda me

If you ever need to clear you're temp internet files and java cache you simply have to go into your computers control panel from the start menu, lower left of your toolbar.

-Start menu
-Settings
-Control Panel

You will see Internet options and right next to it, Java.

Double click Internet options a box will appear, in the center of the box you will find a Temporary Internet Files section. In this section select the delete files button and then place a check mark in the "delete all offline content" area before you click the ok button.

Depending on how long its been since you last cleared these will determine how long this takes but you will see a little timer appear, this will disappear when its complete. Some computers are set to do auto maintenance, or clear temp files on a restart, and then sometimes browsers are set to clear your temp files everytime you close the browser but if you are unsure about your setup or how to check it, its always good to do it manually every once in a while.

The Java cache is fairly easy to clear, simply double click on the Java icon in the control panel again a box will open and depending on the version you have there will either be a tab saying cache., you simply go into this and click the clear button or in the more recent versions there will again be a temporary internet files area where you can simply select to delete the temporary files.

Now there is an area under the

-start menu
-programs
-accessories
-system tools
-disk clean up

This will do all general maintenance. But I prefer to do it manually because often all you need to do is clear the temporary internet files. Not a whole disk clean up.

I also suggest you run a defrag of your computer every once in a while aswell, this is not a weekly event more a quarter yearly event.

-start menu
-programs
-accessories
-system tools
-disk defragmenter
-click the degrament button to begin the process

This can take a while but what it basically does is:- As you use your computer, files are used in spaces on the hard drive. As you add and remove programs and use them, files are left kind of out in the wilderness and they break continuous space that the computer may need to make programs run, so now the computer has to jump around these files trying to pull together enough space to run the program you are trying to use, hence making the computer run slower as it tries to grab space before loading the program.

Anyway.. you may not have wanted all that information and then again you may have ! either way its out there for whoever may benefit from it

Cheers! happy cleaning.

Thanks Angie! You are a wiz!

How do ya'll keep your system running not knowing this? lol

My crap would be so locked up lol... Gotta do maintenance!! I set mine to do it during the night (auto), but try to remember to do it once a month. The auto is for backup in case I forget.

you're welcome !

My honey does it for me. I don't know these things. My poor wittle bwain can't handle that kind of info. It just spits it back out. Tee hee.

All through school I had the worse computers one can imagine so having a crappy pc teaches you alot fast.

I either did a weekly scan disk, anti-virus/spyware run, deleted all temp files AND defragmented or my computer would have been nothing more than a fish tank.

God, glad those days are over... for now. Cant predict the future and I take nothing for granted.

I had the same problem even in IE. I heard later on today that the backbone has been having some problems. Some of the phpBB forums were down too. I dont think it was just us or a browser specific thing. :/

there is a security guards forum that was down also.thats why i thought there was something wrong from my end.

Sounds like a bigger problem out there, not at all local then.

specifically the southern cross pipe from australia to america.. if anyone cares that much heh, I dont really but thats what I heard.

Again, my head spinning!

Awww poor Jen...*hands our confused Jen a nutriberry*
