21 Aug 00 - 05:12 PM (#281886) Subject: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: GUEST,Jim Even after rebooting and repeated attempts, I am unable to load any postings in the Karsk thread past Banjer's post of 19-Aug-00, 07:46 pm, even though I am able to load other threads of lengthier postings. Anybody got any ideas what the problem might be? Jim |

21 Aug 00 - 05:28 PM (#281894) Subject: RE: Help: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: Joe Offer Hi, Jim - I think it was Brendy's link to "The Men Behind the Guns," which was missing the closing quotation marks. I think I have it fixed. Give it another try. If there;s still a problem, post another message in this thread. Thanks. -Joe Offer- |

21 Aug 00 - 05:42 PM (#281904) Subject: RE: Help: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: Joe Offer If you come across a thread that's locked like that, Pene and I need to know about it so we can fix it. Best place to post reports like that is in the Help Forum, or by personal message to me or to Pene. -Joe Offer- |

21 Aug 00 - 06:12 PM (#281915) Subject: RE: Help: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: Ebbie Yes, Joe O, all fixed. Thanks. I've encountered only one other thread before that locked up like that. From now on, I'll let you or Pene know. Ebbie |

21 Aug 00 - 07:36 PM (#281980) Subject: RE: Help: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: Peter K (Fionn) Here's a problem that wasn't put in to the help forum (I'm not making any criticism about that) and Joe is not only on to it, but has it identified and sorted, within about quarter of an hour. It's some service we get on this forum. |

21 Aug 00 - 07:48 PM (#281992) Subject: RE: Help: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: Joe Offer Well, I hate to say this, but I suppose you do get quicker service if you complain about it in the main forum - even though we prefer you post tech complaints in the Help Forum. We hang out here, and check the Help Forum only a few times a day. We'd go bonkers if we sat in the Help Forum, waiting for complaints to come in. But I'll take compliments wherever I can get 'em, Fionn. Thank you very much. -Joe- |

22 Aug 00 - 07:53 AM (#282256) Subject: RE: Help: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: Brendy I do apologise to one and all for this inconvenience. When I realised the link didn't work (I always go back immediately to check it), I double checked the code, and did it properly. It tends to happen me in waves, but it's the always those damned quotation marks that get me. I now sentence myself to the bowels of the HTML thread, where I shall write: B. |

22 Aug 00 - 12:17 PM (#282419) Subject: RE: Help: Trouble loading the Kursk thread From: Gary T I've run into this before. The "sort descending" trick works to a degree--the offending post (and those beyond it in whichever direction you're going, ascending or descending) still will not come up. If there's only one problem post, you can use this trick to read every post except that one. |
