I would appreciate you guys helping me out with a forum problem.
For the last three days, the "View New Content" button has thrown this error up for me ...
I just need as many of you who read this to simply click it to see if it's working for you. Some of you may never use it, or haven't used it for a while, which is why I'm asking.
Before you start offering fixes, I've tried just about every possibility there is.
With and without any "Flash" installation.
With javascript enabled and disabled.
Opera, Firefox, and IE sandboxed and not sandboxed.
From my daughters laptop to eliminate my computer.
Used my old Thomson USB modem to eliminate my router.
Using Peppermint Linux running from a CD.
None of these made a difference.
Tried the same button on another IPBoard forum logged out and in, and it worked fine. (hazels excellent idea)
The oddity here, is the button works fine while I'm logged out, and throws up the error when logged in.
The devs can't reproduce it, and are therefore stymied at the moment.
I'm wondering now if I'm completely on my own with this, or is there another out there who has, or has had, a similar problem.
Although it seems that all the years I've spent with the reprobates on here have corrupted me.
Actually it's my account or profile whatever you call it that's corrupt. I opened a new account as a test, and it worked perfectly. Credit to Nergal for suspecting that possibility.
At the moment the option I've got from the admin is to merge my account with another, but they don't know as yet what the outcome of that would be. I could be a newbie again with no friends.
Anyways, I'm waiting for input from the devs, which is why I didn't come back here with an answer.
Just to drift slightly off topic, well, way off topic really but it's my topic so what the hell, I've just noticed the "chess" in your interests Kroozer.
I used to be an avid player many years ago, reading every book I could get from the library, buying a PS2 ChessMaster game, playing at work, and a mate and myself took a chess board along to our local pub where we usually played darts.
We got a lot of ribbing off the other regulars, but by the time the night was out, they were all gathered around our table watching the game. It caught on with the other guys pretty quickly.
As I say, many years ago, and I couldn't even remember the openings and defences these days which I knew back then.
I'm not sure if I could muster the concentration for chess now.

Like you, I've attended many social gatherings where the host (aware I was a player) produced a chess game, two of us would begin to play and we'd eventually draw a sizable audience. Chess is the only fascinating game for me. When alone I enjoy my Ubisoft Grandmaster.
If you ever decide to get a program you would quickly resume where you left off because all should have tutorials and every level of play.
