Thread: Frustrated Club Hot Rod-Please Help

Tweet

I'm not having any of the problems you guys have mentioned .......... when the server is up I have no trouble logging on, replying to threads, posting pictures, etc. ............ I'm using Internet Explorer on a cable modem ........... it's confusing to me that some of you are having such difficulties and I'm not having any issues

Without singling out anyone in particular, I post the following:

Part of the issues appears to be the lack of software updates to some personal computers. I'm not talking about just a browser update, but a lack of system software updates. Also, updates to java have to do with some of the issues being experienced.

I suggest those having issues first clean out their system and browser cache, the simplest way to do so on a Windows based system would be to hit your start button, then click "all programs", then click "accessories"and click on the folder "system tools". Next click "disk clean" , choose all hard drives (make sure they are checked off),then make sure that all boxes are checked off when the system shows things to be deleted.

System software wise:

Microsoft update has their own site which will show any and all Microsoft updates for your systems (some of you will need to run this more than once)
Microsoft Update

The latest Java can be found here:

Download Free Java Software

Finally, some of you can have malicious software (regardless of what your anti virus software co states) on your local system(s). I highly suggest the following two pieces of software to clean your system (both have free versions). This would be on top of whatever your favorite anti virus software is (provided you update it frequently)

Malewarebytes
Malwarebytes

Spybot search and destroy
The home of Spybot-S&D!

Again,updates to your system and browser can eliminate 75% of the issues at hand. The other 25% Brent is working on as fast as he can.

As always,hope you find this helpful.

No Bill, once again it is being suggested this is caused on our end. If that is the case, why does it only happen here? I'm on at least 5 forums and they all work perfectly well 100% of the time, and I spend at least as much time on there as I do here.

This is so deja vu of what happened several years ago when my user name kept getting booted off and I was being told I was doing something to cause it. Then other people started coming forward and saying they were also having the same problems, so I said "I told you so !"

I also use Internet Explorer and Mozilla, and it doesn't matter which one I am on I still experience the same problems at exactly the same times. There is something goofy in the site, Bill, and why it affects only some of us is a mystery, but it does, and it is very frustrating that it happens so often.

As for updating the systems, my computer is almost new and updates itself automatically, and one of the computers my Son Don is using is maintained professionally by IT guys, so it is very current. You just aren't getting that these problems ONLY happen HERE.
