Problems with accessing the site

[languagelounger]

Hello

I have a strange problem that only happens when I try to access, use or log on to, the East Dulwich Forum.

What happens is: my browser/computer/whatever is causing it, slows right down. While other sites open almost instantly, the browser window often starts up, runs its little blue line (that indicates it is going to the webpage) as far as the first h t t p / bit and then stops.

I have to repeatedly "empty cache", remove all cookies or even restart the browser, to be able to log on. This also happens when I try to move between threads. Sometimes I even have to shut down and restart.

I work online all day, every day (believe me), and my work involves visiting a lot of sites, yet this only happens with the EDF. I would be very grateful for any pointers as to why this is happening.

EDF has proved very useful for a number of things so I would like to use more, not less, but this slowing and crashing of my computer is a constant problem.

Thanks

Hi

Hmmm, never heard of this one before, I'm going to have to ask the usual questions:

Which browser + version are you using?

Which operating system + version?

Are you behind a firewall?

When you see the blue line down the bottom of the screen, does it say "downloading xxxx"? If so, can you say what xxxx is?

Also, try going to the home page http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/ and click on all six "Reset new posts" link

cheers

It does sound more like a conflict with your anti-virus/firewall software. Have you checked the settings or tried reinstalling it?

Tried the "Reset New Posts" and everything now loads zippily.

Thank you very much....was I being an idiot? It is not unlikely. Had no clue that doing that would help.

Forum is a very useful thing and I hope you received some kind of award for your achievement, not least for keeping it free of annoying flashy flashy ads for pointless things.

Ta KK also for your advice.
