It's actually not just AOL either, anybody behind a cacheflow or caching proxy may have problems.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

The Opera thing-a-majig did not seem to be compatable with my dinasour computer  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

The short answer is, your ISP sucks. They're using a non-transparent caching server. I hope to get a work around in place soon, but like most of us, time isn't something I have a lot of.  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 11-03-2003 09:20 PM                     Just to be very honest and above board. The current LONGEST REEL TIMES shows me in the top 4 slots, having been logged on for over 13 hours. I want to assure everyone this is no way close to being the truth. The longest I have ever stayed on was a little over three hours. I wasn't logged on since last night, but this morning when I checked the forums, it still showed me and Adam B on, even though we left at the same time last night. So as much as it KILLS me to lose that top slot, honesty drives me to fess up!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Anyone who has had problems getting logged in should try again.  |  IP: Logged Erick Akers Arse Kicker Posts: 201 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: May 2001 posted 11-07-2003 06:54 PM                     New chat software not working for me anymore at all!!! Currently I am logged in but the page actually quit loading and with the three finger salute I am geting the message that film chat is not responding. What gives? Windows 98 SE IE 6.1, MSN 8.0  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 11-15-2003 08:19 AM                     OK. Just went to Chat. I dont go much since I have had problems in the past. Running a Gateway 2000 with Win98 ver. 4.0. IE version 6. I have just installed new hard-drives and reloaded this thing. I now have 16 times the storage that I had before. Before the reload, my hard drive would grind and grind now and then, and the system would slow down oh so fast. After the reload, this problem has not happened until just now when I went to chat. I was able to read the chat, but I noticed right away that the new drive was growling. This machine has an original Pentium. Think this is my problem? I did notice that even thought the drive was growling, I could still send posts to chat. At least I logged off MYSELF instead of the 'puter just dying like last time when I was talking to Coot Hill. Hmm. Maybe THAT was it? Did I download a Coot Virus? EDIT: Before I did the drive work, Win98 was spread out on both units. Now, it is on one, with lots of room to spare, and my "image files collected from allover the net" are slowly filling the other. We also replace the (I think this is the name) DRAM cards. Whole machine runs much faster now.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Is it a bad noise? Or is it just accessing the drive a lot? The chat pages refresh a lot, so if you have a noisy hard drive it might make a bit of noise each time it checks to see if it has a cached page for the one being loaded in chat. Erick, any numner of a billion things could have caused that. Unless it keeps happening I wouldn't worry too much about it.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-15-2003 07:40 PM                     Why does the stats show each person listed 2 times with the same time beside it right now it is Longest Reel Times1   0:15:33:58   Adam Martin 2   0:15:33:58   Adam Martin 3   0:13:42:34   Daryl C. W. O'Shea 4   0:13:42:34   Daryl C. W. O'Shea 5   0:10:40:00   Brad Miller 6   0:10:40:00   Brad Miller 7   0:05:09:00   Paul Linfesty 8   0:05:09:00   Paul Linfesty 9   0:04:31:20   Michael Coate 10   0:04:31:20   Michael Coate  |  IP: Logged
