    Pretender's Thread

    Is it just me, or is The Pretender's Thread fucked up in the Music Forum? I can't respond to the final post (if I wanted to respond) and it just seem to finish loading...

    That is strange, as I can not get beyond post #26 (it literally stops loading roughly 3/4s of the way through the post). I tried refreshing the page, to no avail, and bear in mind I'm using No Script, which helps when a thread has a high number of taxing videos included.

    It don't. I even tried a cache reboot (ctrl+F5) and that didn't work. I think the YouTube scripts might be fucking things up?

    Maybe if some of the posts containing Youtube videos were to be edited with a link to the video in question instead of having the video itself in the post.

    I have been wanting to mention something to VA but, dood has enough to do, it may just be me and my underground kink that somehow I am fighting the system by still running IE7 and refusing to download 8 and get with the sheep.

    Ok, here how it go: on every page including the Front Page of the Forum, the tile page we have the, Chat Box.

    No matter how many pages we open up deeper and deepr into thread it needs to load and slows down my loading of the next page. Waiting for it's program to load all the way along with the viewing of the pages.

    This may have been what was going on, the chat box takes some bit rates off your load I don't know why it's instant message sofware? Is additional to the VBulletin..

    Is there any way to have the chat box not linked to every header on every page.

    Just on the Forum Front Page.


    ...or you can say no fuck off carrot and get with the sheep, putz...it is just you and that wasn't the problems at all, you demanding little prick and why haven't you donated in 2 years... jeez some people...

    You can mention it to me all you want, I can't do anything about it, I don't have the keys to make any of those types of changes to the site....

    You can PM Sarge and maybe he can look into it....

    I can dig that but I wouldn't PM Sarge if I was wishing for a reinstatement after my banning.

    The only time I have is to let him know I was a paying customer a couple times...I figure that is the news, worthy of PM'ing the big dog.

    I figure he must get enough of those PM's titled waaah wahhh wahhh someone deleted my post....help me sarge...or poster/mod "X" needs to be banned what should we do, Sarge??

    I was just using the chain of command and making a suggestion.

    I don't even know if it is possible or would make any difference in load times or I just need to update and quit playing underground resistance fighter, with no- cause.

    Thanks, VA.

    Maybe you should go ahead with creating a thread. Maybe there are more users then you that feel the same way. If there are, then great that you brought it up. If there aren't then maybe nothing will happend, but at least you did your part :-)

    I made the observation and statement to VA other Mods saw it..I am not the kind to use PM for frivilous issues and certainly won't bother Sarge personally, we can continue it in this thread or you can come clean and say you have the same issue and start the thread I won't feel slighted or anything,...this thread is perhaps done because I think the issue in the, Pretenders Thread was solved hrs ago.

    I will let you or others make the issue known furthur if need be, and start a thread if you wish but just me ...I am tired somewhat of making statements about issues here and standing alone in the line of fire.

    Those are on a site topic, discussing type level. I am not going to start bagging on the software that is out of my expertise. I tried that once and got strangled.

    Yep... I'm running NoScript, AdBlock Plus, and DoNotTrackMe, the combination of which pretty much keeps every nasty piece of shit in cyberspace off my screen, and the thread in question comes to a grinding halt at post #26.

    So it's apparently a "mystery glitch" in the VBulletin code. Doesn't seem to be affecting any other threads, so far.

    I actually don't have that problem. I am most often on my iphone which is much slower then my laptop and I am often in shitholes that have no connection anyway.

    But what the hell, I'll take this up, for you. I'll start a thread in feedback. What was the problem again? You only want the chat on the front page cause it makes all threads load slower, right?

    I notice Twitter embed scripts seem to make it impossible to respond to a thread occasionally, too... thought it was just a Firefox thing.

    Make me a mod of the forum temporarily, I can fix it. I just need permissions to edit the threads in there.
    I've got the cure you're thinkin' of.

    va or chef, if you prefer to fix it yourselves, you should be able to edit it at this point and close the iframe tag. You should also have sarge disable that. People can embed videos using video bbcode tags

    On YouTube and a few other sites, yes. But that doesn't work with some other sites like MSNBC, or Comedy Central. Gotta have the Daily Show/Colbert Report clips! And I'm not sure about Vimeo, which has been how some of the official DLR/VH content was posted (as well as the Bill Moyers episodes in The Front Line)

    Maybe if there was a popup message that said "CLOSE YOUR GODDAMN TAGS, ASSHOLE!"

    It's still screwed up. For instance, anyone care to hazard a guess as to why I am seeing Dr. Love's sig picture in the right hand margin of the thread?

    I don't have that.
    But sometimes on the front page of the board all avatars are mixed up.

    Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

    That started last night... thought it was my system, had just run a bunch of driver updates - but a reboot didn't fix it. At least someone else is reporting it so I know it's not on my end..

    That issue seemed to arise about the same time I received a java update... not sure if it's a coincidence or not.

    Put i this way...the last update package I received gave me the dreaded Windows Black Screen 'O' Death. I can only view the internet now from the safe mode, as there apparently (after two days of searching) is no fix available to anyone that isn't a complete computer geek.

    Fuck me.
