Site problems (computer issue)

[fluidimagery]

It does look like you're having some network issues.

Ping requests are coming back fine on the DNS name I'm getting time 17ms and TTL of 117

However, when I do a tracert on the domain it's missing about 7 hops until it gets to montipora.manhattanreefs.com

That's normal. Not all the hops respond to pings.

After investigating I don't think it is a network issue after all.

OK, I think I experienced the problem first hand, basically my browser closed by itself when I clicked on a link (very strange behavior if this is indeed a server issue).

I just rolled back a change I made last week (I honestly can't see why this change has anything to do with this problem, but lets be sure).

So if anyone experiences this problem again, PLEASE post here.

Thanks.

Josh...what you are describing above isn't what has been happening with mine, Ronen's or Slama's computers. Our computers simply never 'open' the thread we've clicked on to open. The little 'circle' that is by 'Manhattan Reefs' that spins around when you're waiting for a thread to open...for us..it just keeps 'spinning' and the screen never changes. As Ronen said, you can tab up and down the page, but you can't actually go anywhere. You have to shut down the computer and then sign back on.

There are a few other folks on this thread reporting their browsers are closing (as you noted), but that is a different issue than ours.

...though I have no idea if it's related...
thanks for all your efforts and I will post if it happens again, I'll note the time and what thread I was trying access.

i don't think its a server issue either. i think its related to the browser of the user, n possibly the os. to narrow the problem. try running a different browser(firefox,avant,gosurf,etc..), n c if the same problem arises. i'm assuming every1 with problem running IE?

 

[Josh]

Right, has anyone had this problem with any other browser? I can only seem to replicate it in IE, and not regularly or consistently.

My computer was doing that a while back with IE7, but with all websites. I leave my home computer on 24/7, once in a while I would come back to the computer and internet browsing would be dead. I tried Firefox with the same results. I could ping and ftp to whatever, but internet browsing... no good. I would need to reboot to resolve the issue. I haven't had the same problem in a few months... maybe a windows update? I wish I had a better answer...

I had some reports of websites not working correctly with IE7 on some work computers. I rolled all of them back and haven't heard a complaint since.

Work computer is IE6.0.2900 and working fine.
Perhaps IE7 bug?

 

[reefman]

theres a bunch of critical security updates on 04/11/07. for people running xp, check to make sure your updates r up to date.

 

[charile1]

Ditto. This is what I get.

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This is the error I get when I'm at work....

The instruction at ?0x7e21a498? referenced memory at ?0x0c88df70?. The memory could not be ?written?.

I only notice that it won't open a thread late at night. But that may be because I'm only on late at night!

[MO~IDOL]

I use Mac & PC
with FireFox when I click on the Thread nothing happen than have to quick out...Safari works fine. XP works fine too.

 

[DEEPWATER]

OK ,finally i think i know what the problem is ,RB triggers the problem stated in the 1st post .It happens once in a while .the site could be working fine for 3 days a week and when someone RBs you it freezes the site on my comp .

My Mac at home (using Safari) has been doing ok with MR, but a PC at work (using Explorer) has problems as described in the thread.

Always Ronen? Or just sometimes?
I think you are on the right track with your thoughts and have wondered sometimes if it only happens when someone is RB'ing you at exactly the same time you are sending one. Of the folks that I know having this issue, we use the RB a lot. The less I use it, the less issues I have with the computer locking up.
Also I see after the problem occurs..that It shows me having '1' reefberry that is unread but that I have no access to..

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

I have been having a similar problem using firefox, Also sometimes when trying to look at someones profile clicking on their screen name in the Who's online box yeilds the white screen of death as fred put it today I believe.
