What's going on?

**Waldo** · 15th February 2007, 02:01 PM

G'day,

Over the last few days when making posts I've been getting this as a screen, not consistantly, but on an ocassional basis.

Did someone throw bleach everywhere?

Me too. I just though it was a default colour scheme for that particular forum but i don't know which one I was in when it came up.

Have flagged it for the Syst. Administrator to look at.

Hi Waldo,
I have had that screen pop up a couple of times early in the week, but seems to have settled down again.
Cheers,
Ron.

How many of those with the problem are using Firefox. If not Firefox then what browser are you using. Have you installed any new programs or updates recently, if so what? What operating system are you using? How old is your computer, etc, etc.

Give us a little something to work with here.

Hello Neil,
My system this way is an iMac, approximately 2 months old, prior to that I had a mini mac for 18 months. I run Firefox, but no other programs
that are your normal cheapie ones that most people install (shareware and sh** like that) Mine is maintained by my son, who is the computer engineer with Senatas in South Melbourne, where he maintains over 200 computers,(I am not allowed to install anything that is microsoft driven either).
The problem happened 3 days ago, and again Tuesday night. It is just a flash when you have written a message here and are transfering it to the main thread board. Have not had it happen again. I will let you know if it persists or is in a different form.

Kind Regards,
Ron,

I have been running Firefox (PC) for some time and haven't seen this behaviour.

**Stuart** · 15th February 2007, 08:29 PM

I've been running Firefox on a Mac for a few months, so it's more complex than that - I've not seen something like the screenshot either (yet!)

**ubeaut** · 15th February 2007, 10:03 PM

I have started running Firefox in the last few months, along with IE, Netscape and Opera, mainly to check out the way our sites respond to the different browsers. Have to say that Opera is about the most stable and reliable. Have had quite a few false starts with Firefox which seems to have a bit of a problem sometimes with vBulletin which these forums are.

Please keep an eye on the problem and let us know here if it happens again and what time. The forums are supposed to be reasonably bullet proof now but then again we thought they were bulletproof with the last version as well.

Will get Steven to have a look at it tomorrow.

Anyone else with the same problem please post times and other pertinent info here.

Thanks - Neil

G'day Neil,

I'm running Safari 2.0.3 on a 2.5 GHZ Quad G5 with 4.5 GB. My Mac is about 7 months old, OS is Tiger 10.6. No new programmes or updates installed.

**silentC** · 16th February 2007, 10:57 AM

FWIW I use Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Windows 2003 and have never had any problems with the forum.

Waldo, the current version of Safari is 2.0.4 (I don't THINK it will make a difference)

Your OS version isn't correct, 10.4.8 is the current version of Tiger, I don't think 10.6 is due out till 2010!

I run Safari 2.0.4 and OS 10.4.8 on a three year old iBook and a five year old eMac and have no problems with this BB rendering correctly.

Cheers,

P

G'day Bittingmidge,

It's the lurgy that's hit me, it affecting my brain, that and my my childhood.

To correct things: 10.4.6. All is correct at the time of printing.
