PaulH Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 BEB, I don't think this is exclusive to Phil, I'm having the same problem. It just won't load beyond the top heading. No cat to kick and I wan't to preserve my computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Tarling Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Having the same problem here - all other forums load just fine, but chit-chat just shows a blank space where the posts should be - same on either desktop PC or Ipad. Please fix this if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I've just invested this and I can replicate the problem - but only if I'm not logged on! When I logon its fine. Can you check that you are looged on and see if it still happens. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Won't load at all here and I'm logged on. Using Internet Explorer. kevinb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Right - what exactly are you doing? I am going to the "All topics" page and selecting "Chit Chat" and no problem! Once when I tried (and wasn't logged in) I got something like what is being described - but it was completely blank (except for the header) and there was no text box. Having been there today (5 mins ago) then if I then log out I can still go there OK - but that's probably because my computer has chached the page. Anyway - how are you guys going in? Is it via some other route? BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Working fine here in deepest France - but I'm not using Internet Explorer...... Try Firefox if you want to cut your browsing time in half - or view twice as many pages in a session..... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 BEB Have waited a while and tried again. Followed your route. It took ages to load the page and then - just the header. Can you post a link and I will see if that makes any difference. Thanks. kevinb. Edited By kevin b on 12/11/2013 22:33:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very slow to load, but everything was there. Now tried the "normal" way and it still only loads the header. kevinb.

WolstonFlyer Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I just tried it and got the site header, the advert for CML with the Chit-Chat title and the search box... then after a few seconds an empty page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Tried WF's link again and back to square one. Slow to load and only the header ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've just emulated you Kevin (I bet you didn't feel a thing!) so the site thinks I'm you. And yes the page was slow to come up, but it did work and came up complete. So it would appear it not something in your settings on here. I've emailed Katy to see if she has any ideas what it might be. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulH Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Okay BEB, this might help. If I go Forum, Anything and Everything, Chit Chat It goes to this addresshttp://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/threads.asp?t=91 and sometimes loads and more often doesn't. If I go from latest posts eg:http://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=89848 which is part of the chit chat section it goes straight there. So the individual thread numbers work but the general threads listing doesn't. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Okay BEB, this might help.If I go Forum, Anything and Everything, Chit Chat It goes to this addresshttp://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/threads.asp?t=91 and sometimes loads and more often doesn't.Mine is a blank page too. Must be a broken page link or the page has not loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncebounce crunch Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I tried Forum, then chit chat, and drew the blank page too, at 20:31 aus eastern time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Just tried it peeps and I got in no problems at all. Forum, then Chit Chat. Looks like the gremlins have been fed and have moved on to another place! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The problem is, David, that it seems not to be happening to everyone - since this thread started I've been checking back and each time it has loaded normally, with no delay at all. It might help Katy if you mention which browser and version you are using when you report the problem, folks. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
