    i just had two issues tonight. the first one might be the bigger one.

    1. as i was trying to load a page on the YJCC chrome's (or my school', not sure which) malware protection popped up and said that the YJCC main page was infected with malware and asked if i wanted to continue or not. i'm not entirely sure what's going on with that, i backed up and reloaded and it didn't come up, but i'm wondering if something's not going on with that.

    2. while trying to load comes and the EUC i have been getting a white screen and it stopped trying to load the page. didn't say that it had failed to load, just gave me a white screen and acted like it was finished. did this repeatedly for the last twenty minutes before finally loading.


    EDIT

    this is the thread that it's saying has malware: http://boards.theforce.net/your_jedi_council_community/b10008/31232190/p1/?24

    That thread didn't trip anything in Norton Internet Security on my laptop. It could just be a false positive in your software. I've gotten those on other sites.

    As far as the other problem goes we are having problems with the image server. When it's working things load fine. When it doesn't the boards take a long time to load. Your browser is probably just timing out. I got the same type of thing trying to bring up TFN Main a couple of minutes ago.

    As far as the malware thing, I tried that link in both Firefox and Chrome and didn't have any problems. I've seen Chrome pop up occasionally and tell me that a site isn't safe (I mostly see this when people post images from Photobucket), but it didn't say anything while loading that page. Perhaps your malware program flagged the boards as unsafe in some other instance or it's even possible that some sort of virus is doing that. I'd keep an eye out to see if it does the same thing on other random web sites that you happen to visit.

    As for the slow loading today, I'm getting that too. In fact, TFN main seems to be doing the same thing, so it may be the entire site at the moment. I'll check and see if Philip knows what's going on.

    Response from Philip on the TFN server issues:

    The host had a complete power outage this morning. Only two of the three servers are functioning at this time. "We are working every minute on it when we can get attention from the host support guys," says Philip. I'd imagine the host support is extremely busy today if every site they host went down.

    thanks for the heads up.

    it hasn't been doing it on anything else, so i doubt that it's a virus. probably just a hiccup.

    ah... yea, if the servers had a power outage that would definitely do it.

    That explains the slow loads. :oops:

    No wonder I couldn't get on and do anything without most attempts failing or only loading the banner and stopping.[face_tired]

    This is my problem, too. I can load up the main page and then go to two or three pages after that. But, from that point on the pages NEVER fully load (usually I don't even get the banner). The "recycle" bar just keeps spinning.

    I use Firefox and I never had this problem prior to late 2010.

    I was having the same problem in Firefox earlier so I had to switch to IE.

    Glad to know it isn't just me. I was ready to do what I usually do when I have a computer issue and blame Windows Vista.

    Well, to be fair, 99% of the time it is Vista. I was more worried about the boards themselves than my ability to access them, I'll admit. [face_blush]
