Hang Out and Post

[Spritzie]

What browser do you use? I had similar type loading issues a month or so ago, for no apparent reason.

[-Ryan]

Internet Explore but FF didn't load Ikariam either. Ikarim is the only thing I tried with FF though.

 

 

[Spritzie]

Could it be your internet connection?

 

Where is Theo with all his technology advice?

[-Ryan]

Nope, it says my internet connection is excellent currently.

 

Lol, I was just thinking that... xD

[Spritzie]

I'm so bad with tech issues, though I try. I can't think of anything it could be.

[-Ryan]

I can't think of anything else either. D:

 

And I just checked some of my other sites. Icepets isn't loading either and after I hit the login button on tpmrpg I had to put the link in again to get onto the site.

[Spritzie]

It definitely sounds like a connection issue, except you're on here.

[-Ryan]

Yup.

Except I just realized that I can't go to any topics that don't have multiple pages. D:

[Spritzie]

That's so weird. That sounds like the exact problem I had. But I was on Chrome, and TDN was the only site I had issues with. Then it magically stopped.

[Tyler.]

did any of your plugins crash? (Flash for example)

[-Ryan]

I don't think so. How can I check though?

 

Edit: I just realized. It's mainly pages that have alot of moving images. (Youtube, Neos' add-filled front page, Ikariam's new front page that is a bunch of graphics) Does that sund like a problem with flash? -unsure if it's just a coincidence-

[CAV of Gang Green]

Youtube, Neo, and Ikariam all have extremely heavy doses of flash.

 

Did you update your flash? Sometimes, you have an old version of it, and a quick update will get it running normally again.

[Tyler.]

most likely flash, if you need to update, it should pop up every time you start up your laptop

so, it probably crashed

[CAV of Gang Green]

That's how it is with me. But I've heard of some cases where you have to manually update it.

 

Ryan, when an update to flash is available, does it pop up? Or do you have to update it manually?

[Spritzie]

I hate when things automatically update. I prefer to do it myself, when I'm ready. Things like Adobe Reader are always trying to update automatically.

[Tyler.]

that's how my antivirus is, Spritzie, and the updates take like 20 minutes and I have to shut down my computer

[Spritzie]

I hate when I have to do that for work, because with my work computer, I don't have a choice. (Though I usually end up forgetting to restart for awhile.)

 

I think Chrome bugs me the most. It will update without asking (how rude :P) and I haven't checked to see if there's a setting to change that yet.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Windows does these updates. I always hit the "Remind me in 1 hour" button, since I have to restart the computer.

[Spritzie]

I do that with the scan that runs on my computer that checks for updates for my work programs. It always comes up while I'm in the middle of something.

[CAV of Gang Green]

I can actually let antivirus scans work in the background, and I can continue with my business.

[Spritzie]

All the scans seriously decrease my computers ability to do things. As it is, the programs that are required run it down a lot. Then there's the anti-virus, encryption software, etc.

 

I usually put it off so that it runs while I'm not here.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Not mine. My computer is already slow as it is, so there is no change.

[Spritzie]

If it wasn't for all the programs and such I had to have installed, this would be an extremely fast computer. But no such luck.

[CAV of Gang Green]

I just nearly broke my brother's arm because he was getting me angry. This, school, my father, life....

 

I CAN'T TAKE THIS CRAP ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Someone, anyone. You have to help me. I'm about to snap.

[jumpingbeans]

I CAN'T TAKE THIS CRAP ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I always feel like that. :(. So, what do you want to rant about?
