Troubles with this site?

[peaches from georgia]

It would be nice if CC would address this 2 day old issue and tell us what is going on. If they have I've missed it.

[DizzyDallasDi]

A newbie would just found this site would probably never return. I can't imagine what CC's advertisers are saying about this mess. :eek:

[DesertDogs]

It is working fine for me - using Firefox

[Two@Sea]

That is because your cache is up to date...don't clear your cookies or you will be in the same boat as everyone else. ;)

 

It is the server on CC, not our computers or IE or Firefox, no matter the version, that is the problem.

 

Um, sorry... I run disk cleanup and check security updates every evening, so I don't think that is the problem.

 

Update: I have noticed there is one tiny issue I DO have. I have three text option boxes (redo, align left, decrease indent) that have a red x. I didn't notice it before, because I never use those. :o

Yesterday I saw the notice posted at the time that

they were having problems, but I did not have problem.

 

Today, the icons are missing, etc.

 

I just updated to Firefox 3.6, and emptied my cache, (which

you usually do in the casino!) because that

is what the new notice says to do, but to no avail.

 

I guess let us be thankful that this computer glitch

is on these boards and not in ship's navigation.

Why doesn't some one from CC tell us that there is a problem and that it will be fix soon. That would be the correct thin g to do!!

 

They have notified us...For the past few days, every time I sign into Cruise Critic, have received this notice from CC Admin. at the top of the page:

QUOTE Cruise Critic today!

***We are aware that some of you are seeing red "X's" where some images and icons should be. Please try clearing your browser's cache to see if that clears up the problem. If that doesn't clear up the issue for you, please note the boards are still functional even though an icon might be missing. You should see a text link in place of the missing icon/image. We're working on sorting this out and hop to get this fixed as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. UNQUOTE

Ok, have cleaned out my browser & it still does not work, but no problem, I do see the test & when I scan either the top or bottom of different posts I can find the spell checker, all the reply buttons, fonts & all the other little things under the red X...

Now if I could only get the spell checker to work, I will be happy..I keep down-loading Ispell, but can't get it to work on Cruise Critic & don't know what the problem is..Did get the virus & had to call in my Tech to get rid of it, so starting all over again..

Have no idea how to change my browser to firefox,:confused::confused: so will just live with it..

Cheers.....:)Betty

You can download Firefox from here

That's interesting, Betty. I just keep logged in and have the HAL forum page bookmarked, so I never have to log in. So I don't see the box until I just signed off and logged in again.

 

I also have no 'quote' box to reply directly to a certain post.

[Oceanwench]

I just clicked on a box with a question mark so I could reply ... weird.

I agree. I've tried it with I.E. 8, FireFox and the AOL client, keep my cache clear pretty much all the time, so I know it's not me. It's even worse on my iPhone. FireFox is marginally better for me, the layout is a bit better and I get hyperlinks instead of buttons. I suspect this is a problem with one, or more, of the CC servers.

Windows XP

IE 8 / via AOL

Norton/Symantic

 

 

And, everything is working just dandy for me. Never had any glitches at all. I have icons, smileys, and the whole shebang! Maybe its because I am the last person this side of the hemisphere still using a desktop?[/quote]

 

 

I'm still using a desktop!:)

[jhannah]

I'm on a desktop AND using Firefox. Still a mess! So it's not on our ends ... it's on the CC end where the problem resides.

[Storylady]

Are they going to fix the problem? Or do they think that they don't have a problem. The site looks slightly better than yesterday, but I still don't have post reply buttons. In fact I have no icons showing at all. And I did clear my cache memory.

Thanks for the tip Max!

Now can someone tell me how to get the spell checker to work on this site?

Thanks..Betty

I don't have a quote box either, but this is what posters on this thread told me to do & it works:

Run your curser over the bottom of the posters message box..Go from rights to left..

You will see several text messages, one will say "Reply with Quote"... Hit the text & the posters meessage will come up in the reply box...Try it with my post & see if it works for you.. I was even able to edit my post this way, just run the curser over the bottom of your post to edit..

Cheers...:)Betty

Betty, you can just go ahead and misspell whatever you like... and we won't think any less of you. Promise. :)

Hi Sy...I don't see question marks on any of the posts..

Agree this board is weird & hopefully will be fixed soon...I don't mind as long as the virus or trojan horse doesn't come back..

Cheers...:)Betty

According to their notice when we log in, they are aware of the problem & trying to correct it..

Guess we all need to have patience, & try to work around it..

I've logged in twice today, and haven't gotten a notice either time.

So, the differences in the appearances of the screens aren't the only things that vary from person to person.

I saw the notice once yesterday and not again since. I was starting to imagine having seeing it, until serendipity commented on seeing it.

[serendipity1499]

Thank you...You are very sweet!:):)...

Unfortunately I type too fast, make mistakes, & don't always catch them.. Oh well, will have to try to be more careful!

This time I did not get the notice when I logged in, which came up earlier today.. This board is becoming weirder by the minute..:confused:

[KAYEF]

I just came from a site on which CC says it's ONLY the red "x" and there are "NO OTHER PROBLEMS"...................guess they haven't tried to do a REPLY all day. Those boxes are mostly non-existent.:cool:
