It shows up elsewhere, but you are wonderful, amazing people who know how to fix computer glitches.
Thank you.

This doesn't sound like a problem at the site's end. Anti-malware programs should catch this unless its part of some toolbar you recently installed.

Well, you must have taken care of it somehow, because it hasn't appeared, yet. To me you are wizards of computers. Thank you, very much.

Been having an issue lately when I'm trying to access posts from the replies section, ie: via the popup that shows who's posted in a thread. It keeps on saying that I have to wait 15 seconds until I can search again.

The problem is that I didn't do a search before that.

I know I've largely gone, but I really can't tolerate style or usage errors.

Then you should stay gone. We can't fix them anymore.

Got a small issue:

Ran into a post flood situation, right after I logged in. Tried to make one post and it said I'd have to wait 30 seconds to make another post. Which is odd, since the only post I'd made wasn't even one -- it was me logging in.

Then it said I had double posted. Which isn't the case at all. I only made one post.

[gertiekeddle]

That's a bit scary actually. There was nothing else you might have clicked accidentally which could have caused the double post warning?

Only my own thread . Was just looking at some new posts and then replying to it, and that's when the error happened.

* It just happened again, in this thread of all things, when I clicked on the submit reply button . Didn't even make a post before hand, only just logged in .*

Found out it made the post, but it didn't take me back to the regular page like it usually would.

And when I tried, it lead me to a blank white page.

It works perfectly normal for me. There is a possibility that the problem is at your end and the best advise I have is to clean your cache and cookies and get rid of all temporary internet files plus all temporary files.

Hmm. Might try that and see what happens. Haven't run into again so far.

Also, if in doubt, check for gremlins! And possibly if there is an update for your browser.

I don't think any gremlins would fit in my computer... as for updates... might do that, haven't updated my Google one in awhile. Just did it for FF, but I haven't moved up to the newest one just yet there due to a crashing glitch that still hasn't been fixed yet.

Edit: Just updated it -- hopefully the glitch won't be run into again.

Oh just admit you're just trying to boost your post count before Morgoth flushes us all down the drain...

Seriously Midnight , I've hardly posted at all as of late.

[Alastor]

Be that as it may, gremlins do fit in computers, you can be sure of that. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

oo...&%$poop..that w%asn'T RiGht

[Fawkesfan1]

@ Alastor: No harm to be on the lookout -- those technical gremlins can be a pain .

Are you sure you meant "anymore"?

[gertiekeddle]

Nope, not at all. It's just my usual grammatical incompetence.

Oh OK, thanks for the explanation.
