Question O.T. sorta... Why does this keep happening???/

Why does this keep happening to me when I click on a thread or navigate back to the forum list from a thread? It's only every once in awhile, not all the time.

Sometimes I get this



and other times I get this



lasts for anywhere from 10 seconds, to up to 20 mins sometimes. Is it just server overload or something?

Happens to me as well. My laptop loads slow....but it eventually loads.
My tablet has a much harder time. I get those same screens as you and it's frustrating. It's so bad that I actually second guess typing up a reply because my tablet might drop the page and I have to start all over again.

I feel your pain Greg... I find myself closing down the page for the day when this happens sometimes. It's frustrating to say the least. I haven't had it drop the page while typing a reply yet, if it had, I'd probably be doing this and I wouldn't have been able to post this.

Mine does some stupid thing also. But not all the time.
Click on a page, and it opens, and then the screen flashes and another page will open, and it will say this page cannot be found, but close that page and the one you wanted is open underneath.?????????????

Yeah I've been seeing that a lot lately as well. My guess would be server overload or something along those lines.

I have also had that same screen pop up, but very inconsistant. Come to think of it, hasn't done it in a week or so.

Been getting those a lot too. I just press back and try again and it works 90% of the time.

I think it was TJC that mentioned the other day we're on the old server right now because they're fighting with the new server, that's why it's been buggy.

Dunno which get-together you're referencing Rick, but for the past few years we hold 3 or 4 BBQ/get-togethers at Andy's (Fat Diesel) place. You should come out. We post a thread in the NorCal forum whenever we have one.
