OK, the last day or so, Rosity has been almost unbrowsable for me, at least. Links all give garbled pages (attached sample), and you have to go back and click on them three or four times, until they give you the page correctly. Anyone else having this problem? No changes on my end.

Browsing with Firefox (as you can see from the sample). Happens in forums, galleries, etc. Both on individual posts and images, and trying to access the forums and galleries. Sample was from trying to browse the galleries. Forums give similar results. Have more images, but don't want to load the page with pics.

Hi RP, No problems on this end..its running pretty well. The screen shots look like a browser, local system or ISP issue to me. Clint

I would think that too, Clint, but this is the only site it happens at. I haven't had any similar problems anywhere else, or even here until about yesterday. And I can't think of a single thing that has changed on my end in the past few days. That's why I wanted to let you all know. I have no idea. It just isn't really worth the time to have to try a link so many times to get the page to display. (Of course on a good note, it only took two from the ebot from this message, lol)

Have you tried clearing out your cache? We had a minor system problem this morning around 6:00am system time. But that has been cleared up. Clint

I don't know if it's related, but I was getting a message in Mozilla Firefox yesterday stating too many requests were being sent to the server. I had to try to log onto Rendo several times. Paul

Sorry. Took me awhile to get back here. Cleared the cache, still no good. :( And it started yesterday, so that probably wouldn't be the cause. The upside is that I had none of the image problems the other mozilla users are having, lol.

Hmm...Does it work under NetScape or Internet Explorer? Clint

I got "MYSQL has gone away" error messages - it looked funny.

Funny Loaded up IE (never use it, had to go looking, lol). Just jumped around awhile. That came up twice, but then IE gave a waiting to load at the bottom, and then the page jumped to the way it is supposed to be viewed. Firefox won't. Did that make sense?

I had the same problem yesterday, RealitysPoison. Both in my IE 6, and Fireox. Seems good to go now. (so far so good) AgentSmith

I suspect it's timing out when the server is busy. Possibly IE is more persistent in trying to re-load the page. This is wholly a guess, though. bonni

I have been having this prob too..last 3 days, tried Ie,opera,firefox cleaned cache ,stopped firewall..etc.etc still the problem persists.. ?

Ya, it seems better today, but I still get it sometimes. But it is nice to know I'm not the only one. :)

I haven't had this problem but [for me,] the site has been incredibly slow and difficult to use for much of the the time this past week...

it must be a winders thing, cause never had any glitch with mozilla or netscape, no slowdowns, nothing.

"The screen shots look like a browser, local system or ISP issue to me." Not when it's happening to several people, including me, and I use netscape.

I'm having the same problem too. Just seems like the last day or so. I have to keep relaoding the pages to see any images. IE6 Mike


bonestructure posted Mon, 21 February 2005 at 11:30 AM

It's also been EXTREMELY slow at times in the last week or so. I may be on dialup, but it shouldn't tale like 3 or 4 minutes to open a page in the forum. Not to mention the massive SQL errors.

Same thing here..I use Firefox, but if this is the ONLY site it happens on, that tells me it's not a browser related issue; and, since I have been using Firefox exclusively for several months now, and this is the first problem of this sort...I really don't think that's it.

I have also found the site to be slower than molasses uphill in January in a Winnepeg deep freeze....and I'm on Broadband.

Yup, just did getting to this message. It seems to not happen as often, but I haven't been on the site as much, so I can't say that for certain.

Hi Clint, I've been having this same problem (as demonstrated by RealitysPoison's screenshot above) for the last several days. I've seen this problem on two different (Windows 2000) systems, using both Firefox and Internet Destro^H^H^H^H^HExplorer. I would normally chalk something like this up to "busy times in server-ville" but it's persisted long enough for me to squeak about it. If you need someone to try different things to nail it down, I'll be happy to play part-time guinea pig... fyrissian
