I post from public computers and thought it was just that one IP address that had the faulty computers but it turns out that it's happening at another set of computers. Please get someone to look into this. What happens is that when I try and go from one topic to the next I get some page which says it's not working and then I have to exit that, etc.

I don't get that but every 3rd post I get an anti-spam message that won't accept my post so I have to reopen the window and try again. I don't hear from others that they get that message as often, perhaps I am flagged for it for some reason.

I get the anti-spam one too i think its a feature built into the forum software to obviously stop spam but its abit of a pain when there are a few posts to reply too.

But havent seen your problem banana, maybe PM prana.

Banana,

That sound like a variant of the many browser trojans/malware that is plaguing the 'net at this time. The public pcs are most likely infected. I have never seen it this bad before. The "server not found" variant and browser hijacking is very prevalent on many of the pc's that I service.

The problem is, after you clean the pc it is only a matter of a few days before it is infected again.

I wish I had taken notice of the message. It isn't 'server error' but it is a total drag because every time I click on a thread, it does it and it gets old fast. Last night I was ready to pull my hair out. It hasn't done it yet this afternoon (I just logged in again), thank Jah

LOL: It just happened It says that the site cannot be opened; operation aborted.

I never get that error on this site. I would suggest clearing all browser history and use firefox...although I doubt if that will have much effect, it is worth a try.

Does it occur on many other sites that you visit?

JK: Nope. It is unique to this site.

That is odd...I've never had any issues with this site...I dunno...The only otehr thing that comes to mind is maybe the public pc's aren't updated regularly and there is an old version of some program that is not behaving well with the site.

No doubt, lol! Bad part is, it is very difficult to get a pc "squeaky clean" these days without spending countless hours in the registry manually editing, it is much easier to reformat & forget it until they get hit again.

That can get expensive though - I give repeat customers a break, although some are content to leave the pc slightly infected as long as it isn't too intrusive.

Problem is if they store sensitive/personal data on the machine or do online banking...I've talked a few people into Linux and they now love it. It is definitely much more robust than windows...
