/me kicks IE6

[Nibbler]

Why won't most avatars display for me? And why when i click on a thread, most times 'This page can not be displayed' appears and i have to refresh? And why when i do refresh the colours are screwed up? Bah.

 

[Summo]

Sounds like a user32.dll error.

 

[Nibbler]

and i fix it by?

 

[Wij]

"sarcasm detected !"


(no ideas nibbler)

It means headbutt. Fool.

Try this TechNet article. It's a bit vague and doesn't really address your screen distortion problem but it's a place to start.

:uhoh:

I know you nonce! And how dare you throw my own webbeh back at me!

Have you fixed your IE problem yet?

 

[Nibbler]

But the problem only seems to happen on these forums

 

[Summo]

Have you cleared out your cache? Delete your temp Internet files to start with, young man.

 

[Wij]

Ctrl-F5

 

[Summo]

Ooh! Good idea. I'd forgotten about that.

CTRL+F5 Refresh the current Web page, even if the time stamp for the Web version and your locally stored version are the same

Force a refresh, bwoy!

 

[Nibbler]

Done. Don't work.

You have a CSS problem - you can see the end of the style tag and none of the CSS elements are working

I would suggest that the CSS's on the forums are dodgy - but they look fine on everyone else's browser

Does your browser work ok on, say, http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

 

[Nibbler]

works fine :/

 

[Summo]

Yeah... CSS. I was gonna suggest that.

 

[old.Jas]

Very strange...

CSS on these pages looks fine

 

[Nibbler]

Well, it's definatley an IE problem, cos it works fine on *shiver* Netscape

 

[Ch3tan]

I had the same problem, it was my ISP's blueyonder and their transparent webchaches fault or something.

Try changing your webcache?

 

[Testin da Cable]

at workies, netscape [4.7 iirc] doesn't work while ie5.5 does.
at home neither opera nor netscape or konquoror work while mozilla does. wierd

 

[Nibbler]

Mozilla? Gawd that's awful.

 

[Embattle]

Actually its to do with a compression format that VB uses known as GZIP which makes pages easier on bandwidth. Its mainly to do with how MS have implemented the HTTP 1.1 protocol.

heh don't make me say it

btw, mozilla isn't awful dudeh: it sucks.
there's a difference you know

 

[Embattle]

Basically IE doesn't like GZIP
