<div class="IPBDescription">Technical problem, that is</div>I'd like to post this in Off-Topic, but recently the forums tend to stop loading around the artwork forums for me. Topics are often only loading up to answer # 8 or so, and to post this thread, I had to switch from Opera to IE (argh) because the word processing applet refused to show up.
Is this only happening to me or have others the same problem?

and Windows XP professional version 2002. The problem occured only during a short period of time.
Yeah, like the Doctor replies when a patient says 'It hurts when I do this'... 'So don't do that'.
And I don't want to hear some big uninformed complaints about IE here. This board and it's server are 100% Linux-powered, so it's not some Microsoft thing. Except that IE works, naturally...
Do you have the problem with Mozilla or any other browsers? I hate to depress all you you freethinkers out there, but Opera HTML standards compatibility is not good. IE and Mozilla are nearly 100% compliant.
Yea.
Why would someone want to keep intrusive cookies, hackers, and spyware away? <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
I tried switching the identifying. I couldn't connect Microsoft sites anymore, but aside from that, it didn't improve anything :/
Funny thing is that everything worked just fine up till now ...
Well, I'll try and D/L Mozilla, although it'd hurt pretty bad to give up on Opera...

Well, this is my first post from Mozilla, and I guess I'll get comfy with it - still, if you found the bug, I wouldn't be unhappy.
Do you clear your file cache as well at shutdown?
Thanks for your effort, but I guess it'll be easiest to simply paralleltask with Opera and Mozilla.
It could be our ISP however; I believe we're using the same one.
Oh, and all M$ propaganda/hate aside... I use Opera because it is the superior browser. IE is awkward, and just... horrible.
edit:
Could you name one W3C standard IE complies with but Opera doesn't, please?
As for compliance, W3C is one set of standards, and Opera meets them all. It does not however completely cover some of the other non-W3C industry standards for CSS, XML, Javascript, DOM and other aspects. I misspoke about HTML, and you can say neener. Mozilla 1.1 is the only browser that covers them all right now, mostly because it is the newest release of all three. Opera also does not always properly render a lot of IE-optimized webpages, even though Mozilla does (a key issue, considering how many pages are designed for IE browser compatibility first and everything else second). It's biggest claim is that it's the fastest page renderer of the the three browsers, which is a good thing of course.
If I had to recommend between the 2 non-MS browsers, I'd say go with Mozilla 1.1. But I recommend using IE 5.5SP2 or perhaps 6.x over both of those.

"Optimized for IE" is an euphemism for "Too lazy to conform to the accepted standards". Fortunately these incompatible pages are usually not worth viewing in the first place.
Anyway, the page loading errors have disappeared for now.
So it was not working for you this morning and it's working fine now?
I like how you casually breezed over the other issues I brought up. I allowed you to neener me, so I will now neener you. Neener.
<!--EDIT|MonsieurEvil|Sep. 05 2002,16:36-->
Basically, yes, except that it's not morning here but the middle of the night, which is also the reason why I didn't enter a full off-topic "M$ vs. Freedom" debate.
Coolness. You're welcome, by the way.
And take that sort of boring conversation to the crudbrains of the Slashdot forums - they will love you for it.
Seeing how nobody else encounters these problems, it's official - it's my PC.
