fortyofforty Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 When I click on Man Cave this morning, the page keeps loading and reloading, endlessly. The regular forums seem to work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm not having any problems. Clear cookies maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Just tested it on IE, FireFox, Chrome and Brave, no reloading, no issues here. Using a Win 7 64 bit computer. Looks like it is a very specific problem in combination with your device, OS, browser and / or browser version. Eric will most likely need the following information: Device Operation system and version Browser and version Do you use any addons in your browser, for example AD blocker?

fortyofforty Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Here are the three urls that keep cycling through: https://theboresite.com/forums/forum/99-mc-forum/ https://theboresite.com/clubs/2-the-man-cave/ http://theboresite.com/clubs/2-the-man-cave/ I logged out, cleared cookies, logged back in and the problem is still occurring. Using Windows 10, 64-bit, 16 GB RAM, Intel Pentium processor, Chrome browser. No problems two days ago. Problems today. Same parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterfox Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Man cave URL cycles between http://theboresite.com/forums/forum/99-mc-forum/ and https://theboresite.com/forums/forum/99-mc-forum/ Note HTTP vs HTTPS Current Firefox with AD block - the boresite is whitelisted. Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit SP1 This and other problems on this site started sometime yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Using the latest version of Foxfire, Win 7, problems seems to be with the clubs mostly. When try to use the "like" feature I get the below everywhere. Just cleared all cookies and history and rebooted and problem still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yeah, I got that when I tried to start a new thread and add a photo via URL. Strange days, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 When I make a new post and hit "submit reply", I get a message that it's saving and it never goes away. However when I refresh the page my post is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I should add that I can only see the first page of any given subforum. When I click page 2 (for example) or next it just brings me to the top of page 1. All this only started a few days ago for me. Running Windows 10 home 64bit, and the latest version of Firefox with Ublock Origin but TBS is whitelisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) On two identical setups with Win 7 i7 processors, have cleared cookies and history and rebooted. No other problems with various other sites I'm logged onto. Desktop: I keep getting a yellow triangle at the top indicating connection not secure. Each time I click on a new page the yellow triangle changes to green padlock for a moment and then back to yellow triangle. "Like" feature doesn't work and "clubs" keep flashing. Laptop: no yellow triangle or padlock showing everything works fine. My Galaxy Android also works fine. Edited July 22, 2018 by pipedreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yes, I think we are well past the point (so common in the tech world) of blaming users' and their computer systems. It seems to be widespread, at least more so than originally thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyofforty Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I also used to be able to roll over the title of a thread and see a preview. Now I get a popup error saying "There is a problem loading this content" or something. Things are going on here, since the influx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't reproduce ANY of the mentioned problems. Not with Chrome, not with IE, not with Brave either. Thread preview also works. I have a feeling that these issues only apply to certain users with certain security settings. Afaik this domain / forum doesn't have a SSL cert, and maybe some updated Ajax scrips within the forum software expect SSL. Depending on the browser settings this can cause the scripts not to be executed and hence not deliver output. But without being able to see the server logs this is just a wild guess. Edit: or a cloud / hosting issue. The loop between http and https could also be a DNS issue. Edited July 24, 2018 by crockett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I suspect it may of related to a recent Windows update but that is just a guess. I uninstalled several updates and reinstalled Foxfire and my problems seemed to have gone away. I don't do updates on my laptop so I set everything up to match it and seems to be fine. Since several people had similar problems I suspect Windows updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been careless about updates, I used to wait till they had been out a while to update hoping to miss troublesome ones. Think I'll stop doing them all together since everything is working fine.

I caught a few exploits on hacked websites, usually solved by killing all IE processes, but nothing serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'll be damned if I stop doing updates (many of which patch security holes) just to use one site. It's a bad tradeoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyofforty Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Are we still pretending it is the fault of the users, rather than a glitch in the matrix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
