site problems...? 4

[Skilasnow]

For some strange reason my signature did not appear in my reply to this thread: http://timefortuckerman.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=001277;p=1#0000 03 but then it did in a following post.

Also, I never get a welcoming message to the TMC forum :(

The "news flash" marquee is suddenly appearing as a blank white bar

And weirdest of all, lately I've been getting a popup window of Java code at the main board page, I just close it... but now that my computer is fixed (as opposed to using my sisters) I get a java error message instead, I just click OK and everything goes fine. None of this is particularly bothersom, just thought you'd like to know.

PS the error message I get reads:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

unknown font style 4

pps after further research, I get the popup in IE and the error message in Netscape. upon actually reading the popup text I see it is telling me basically the same thing but with stuff I can't understand

Does this mean anything to anyone? I'm gussing this has something to do with the 'news flash marquee' since it doesn't appear in either browser, though it just isn't ther in IE and appears as a blank white bar in Netscape

SKilas...

About the sig... only I can think of is you just happened to click off the 'Show Signature' option when posting.

The welcoming message in the TMC forum is something that I have to setup for each new TMC member. I probably missed a few including yourself. I'll add it do my todo list :)

About the Java error. You gave me enough to look into this. Are you on an older version of IE and netscape? Ok better question... what versions?

Anyone else getting java errors? I had java error logging off myself as they pop up occassionally on many sites if they don't load properly.

I'm using, for Mac OS 9.x:

Netscape 7.02
IE 5.x
Opera 6.03

Opera does not tell me that there is an issue but the news flash marquee shows as a white bar, though it does have issues with M@, for some reason it won't load a page that has to refer to weirdtable which is where M@ stores his pics.

I've never even noticed a signature option on the post page, but I guess that must be what happened.

speaking of site problems now every page I click on is loading slow :mad:
