Comments on: Technical Issues

[SageThyme]

Christmas List for Ali and Kizz:

1. Bigger hammer
2. More 9mm ammunition
3. BLU109 (armor piercing/deep penetrating) or MK82 (2K bomb) - guaranteed to solve all your future server problems.

You see people. Intimidation. It's like Al Capone said: "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone."

I'm glad they got it working anyway. I couldn't get here at all yesterday. And I think I'll be very careful not to upset Kizz!

I seem to remember we went over a million a few months ago and there weren't any problems, although maybe I'm thinking of something else

[Morgoth]

We go over the million mark every now and then, before some post-destructive admin decides that we cannot have excess posts on CoS Forums. I deleted ten threads myself the other day and saw my post count drop 4,000. I thought "I'm havin' none of that tomfoolery," and re-instated the threads and got my post count back.

Of course I once deleted the entire forums and saw my post count drop to 0... But that's a story for another day, like after I die.

*wonders which 10 threads Morgoth might have had 4,000 posts in*

I agree!!!! Thank you so much!! You should have seen the panicking when I couldn't get on. Then I played 3D mazes for a few hours and went to sleep. And now all is well. Thanks again!!!!

I hate to spoil the party but how about getting back to posting comments on technical issues? Our techies have limited time and they probably appreciate finding posts addressing urgent problems quickly.

[Morgoth]

Sorry Moriath. My bad!

Back on topic then.

This isn't a major problem and doesnt really do much, but the top picture that is a link to the main page hasn't been appearing. Any ideas why?

I just flipped through all the skins and it was appearing OK on each of them in my browser (Internet Explorer). Other than that, can't help you.

[Voldemorts8thHorcrux]

its gone away, i think.

I don't mean to be a nuisance, its probably just my computer, but for some reason, i have to refresh a lot because the only thing that turns up is the picture on top, and the bottom doesnt turn up.

Which browser do you use? I find that Firefox occasionally decides not to display a particular picture, although I have no idea why - it might be one of the add-ons interfering.

i use internet explorer version 7 i think. I have firefox, but i dont use it

Have you tried Firefox to see if the missing image shows up then?

Deleting your Temporary Internet Files (also known as clearing your cache) might help too.

I'm having a problem logging out right now. When I go to the top bar and click "Log Out" a message pops up saying "are you sure you want to log out?" I click OK, but I'm still logged on! I'm brought to a page that says "your cookies are cleared." What does that mean? How do I log out?

I get that screen as well when I go to log out. It's normal, when logging out on COS.

Hope this helped you out .
