Is it just me, or is something strange happening to the forum? After I read the last post, and want to reply, there is sometimes no box saying "post reply". There is only the one that says "quick reply".
It has happened several times tonight, and I have to go back onto the forum and sometimes I get the original format, and sometimes the "quick reply" one.
I haven't even had a beer yet.:confused: :confused: :D :D :D
Don
i think you drank to much "nyquil"!!!:eek: :D
Ok, I have had NO Nyquil today, and something is wrong with the format. I can't possibly be the only person having a problem. Now, not only is there no "Post Reply" block above the"quick reply", but some of the pictures in peoples posts are not coming up, and are replaced by a box that says "attached images". Yet, if you scroll down a little, another picture WILL come up.
If my computer were doing this, no pictures would come up. Is anyone else having this problem???
Don
Also, there are no "edit" boxes either, and I just went to another forum, and everything is working fine there.
Don
yes i am to
Yaaaaaaaaaaa. I'm not crazy. I'd put in a smiley face, but there are none on my screen.
Don

All kidding aside I'll send off an email to Brent.

I think Denny did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
I haven't posted lately because I kept getting too many emails in my in-box rather than the Earthlink suspect email box where they are supposed to come in to my PC (plus have had a 4 day stomach bug). I thought this email problem was fixed last week !!:HMMM: Sounds like Brent has server problems again.
There have been reports of greatly increased spamming efforts. I have PC-Cillin antivirus support and they are updating sometimes as much as five times in a day so it seems to me that there are many ways to pick up downloads with unwanted stuff in it. All you can do is keep your own PC as clean as possible with antivirus software and hope that Brent can keep the site clean as well. I have been slowed down waiting for a semi-custom column drop, Christmas and assorted other family activities while the garage gets colder, but when I get that column drop it will be back to setting up my steering.

I'm using Norton for my antivirus software and it updates often though I seldom know when, but at least every time I go on line. Then Earthlink has several filters that are constantly updating so none or at least very little trash has ever penetrated. My guess is that Brent's software has a glitch that will force me to turn off CHR for a while if it isn't cleared up soon - too bad, I really enjoy "talking" to folks here very much.
Haven't done much on the car - too chilly to paint and the chassis is ready for the body (with my new Denny's HD driveshaft installed) tho I did (over)fill the trans and it has a small leak that I can't find:whacked: . I hope it's not a crack or pinhole!!!:CRY:
With regards to email, is everyone getting a bunch of email from the site? What sort of email?
I'll look into the other problem, but not really sure what might be the problem.
Bill, thanks for the ping.
Hey Brent, good to have you back amongst us!!!! I trust you had a great deal of fun while in the hospital??????:whacked: :whacked: :whacked: :LOL: :LOL:
Yes Brent it is good to hear your back from your hospital encounter.
There has been some braging going on and I think
DENNY DID IT
but I'm not going to snitch:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Brent, CHR post replies are coming in to my regular Earthlink email rather than the "suspect mail" box as they are supposed to. I have not, to the best of my knowledge given permission for this type of email to come to my computer without passing through some sort of filter - which, at this time, it is not. As I said in my previous post, I do enjoy the correspondance here, but not without controls. There are too many fruitcakes in the world that think it is great fun to corrupt someone elses computer to chance this by piggybacking somebody's post to me (and 2 more just came in while writing this).Quote:

I'm running a Dell 4700 wMS XP/MS IE7/Earthlink
Also glad to see you back Brent. Problem I was having was that the thread screen was different. There was no "post reply" block, and some pictures were not coming up, replaced by "attached images" written in a box in the middle of the screen where the pictures are normally.
It was also moving very slowly.
Aside from that, everything was fine. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Don
Oh, no icons either
Brent,
Here are Denny's pictures.
Bill S.
PS: Under "thread subscription" what do you have set up as your "notification type"
Maybe the server is just playing catch up with your posts :LOL:Quote:

Oh man, I just broke my bottle of Nyquil.:3dSMILE: :3dSMILE:
Look out Denny, here they come.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Don
Don, it really sounds like you're not correctly logged in when you don't see the buttons, etc. Try deleting your cookies and then log back in to see if this helps.
With regards to the email notifications, I had turned off the email service for some maintenence and had forgotten to turn it back on....I believe you got spammed with days worth of notifications all at once.

I dumped my cookies yesterday and shut off my instant notification but will turn it back on in a moment to see if the problem is cured. If necessary, I'll "resign" from CHR on a temporary basis then reapply, which, unfortunately, will make me a newbie again:CRY: . I cannot have unprotected emails coming in to my PC !!!
Denny, it sounds like this "was" happening, but is now ok? Dave, I think you're saying it still happens for you (no need to re-register, I'll get it squared away)?
Brent - still going on, but since Earthlink offers anonymous email addresses, I changed mine to one of them until you tell me it's OK. PITA, but hope to keep the spammers and idiots away from my hard drive. So far works well
I'm not sure I understand here....Are you saying you're getting spam (as in with virusus/malware) from CHR? Now keep in mind, people spoof mail headers to look like they are coming from places they aren't all the time. The system is clean, so I will find that very hard to believe.Quote:

To confuse the issue more, there is a Known Spam Folder as well. I can choose to look at suspected emails, which, if it says it's from CHR I will. If it is from an unknown in for instance, Austria, such as I got earlier today, out it goes, it gets dumped as spam and reported back to Earthlink. These never reach my hard drive, but stay on EarthlinksQuote:

I have it sucessfully coming in to my Earthlink anonymous email box now - and will try the "old method" (regular) again in a few days. If the emails are then not sent to the correct in box, will then advise (I will, either way)Quote:
