    The forum screens are now all over the place, the Forum, New Posts, Private Message menu is now appearing as its own banner and vertical.

    Were you the one who sent me a screen shot, or was that someone else?

    I forwarded it to the programmer. He will work on it.

    As you can imagine, we have burned a TON of money with the programming firm in the last couple of weeks. This is the next thing I'll have him work on.

    I had not been having a problem, but the last few days, I've been unable to get any part of Techsideline to load on Firefox 9.0.1. I just get a blank page that says "An internal server error occurred. Please try again later." The website seems to work fine in Internet Explorer 9.0.4, but it would be kind of nice to not require a separate web browser just for TSL. Even Webkit 533.1, on my Android phone, works properly.

    I'm starting to suspect that we have a problem with Firefox 9. Are you on a Windows XP machine?

    Mine is Windows 7. I searched through the entire forums, and, on another thread, I found someone who reported a similar problem. They fixed it by deleting their history. I went and deleted all instances of TSL from my browser history, but that alone didn't suffice. However, when I additionally cleared TSL's cookies, that apparently resolved the issue I was having.

    For what it's worth, the problem I was having seemed to go in something of a progression. At first, only forums didn't work. The front page, and its associated articles, was present, but it was devoid of almost any formatting. After a couple of days of this, though, nothing about the site would load at all on Firefox.

    I've had the same issue intermittently. It seems to be a cookie expiration issue. I'm guessing as the programmer tweaks cookies when the system gets the wrong format it croaks. Until the bad cookies expire you get that error. Btw I've had it in firefox chrome and safari.

    Will...I am on and (hopefully) able to post...

    However, I still have many of the same issues with Chrome. Page loads are still very slow however not as bad as Firefox 9. I still have found out that if I click on a post or a link and it doesn't load, after a couple of clicks, the page will load instantly. It's as if an ad is blocking the re-direct and if I click it 3 or 4 times, finally it takes...

    Either way, I still have very slow page load times as a general rule

    Try two things: (1) clearing TSL cookies; and (2) doing a Shift-Refresh.

    That will clean out any old cookies and force a reload of updated CSS and Javascript files.
