Does this happen to anyone else? Namely, the top and side bars of the forum disappear and the archive forums that are normally hidden until you click the "Show Archives" button become visible straight away upon loading the page. It happens to me on a regular basis, but not all of time, and I've noticed no correlation between how I get to the forum main page and whether or not this happens.
I'm browsing in Firefox v. 1.0.6 (I keep forgetting to update) under Windows XP Service Pack 2 with the following extensions: ShowIP, Adblock, Colorzilla, IE View, FirefoxView and Leet Key. I haven't tested the phenomenom under Internet Explorer.
no, you're not the only one.. i've been getting the same for the past few days. i figured it was just my computer being wierd again until i saw your post.
i'm using firefox too (no idea which version) with Win98.
It'll do this when the forum.js file fails to load correctly. A quick refresh should solve this. However, more technically, I believe if you have Norton Antivirus, it may not want to load it properly either. This also affects other javascript but not all.
refreshing doesn't fix it for me. ^^; nor do i have norton. would AVG or zonealarm effect anything?
Very possibly. It's probably firewall related. Try putting 216.55.154.51 onto any whitelist in zone alarm.
