What Happened to the forum design?

Windows has been doing alot of updating the past week so I'd like to blame them. For the last couple of days all I get is the Tool Talk logo and everything else is text. It's a real PITA.

Some of us had trouble yesterday- getting no connection and a white page only saying  "pageok'

I got that on my laptop running wireless, but not on a hardwired PC. After rebooting the router all seems OK now.

the website is the same for me, I know the problems with updates, I'm running in save mode with internet connection as my "microsoft" virus software is corrupted  can't fix it, lucky I was figuring "they" were going to screw xp users somehow, So I had downloaded Avast so I'm protected. Really tempted to go to a mac.

I haven't had any problems like you guys describe. However I have been doing everything on my phone lately.

I had this happen early yesterday morning. But it was fine when I tried again a few hours later.

Apart from that, I have experienced no other issues...

The 'pageok' thing is a godaddy hosting glitch (web server dns doesn't match site name, so it has a hissy fit on the server and won't give out any pages) so it was not your computer...
(Why it says pageok instead of pagenotok is a deep dark mystery...)


The text with no background happens when you get the web page but not the layout file that goes with it (CSS stylesheet), slow server, slow internet, browser weirdness can all do that...(reloading the page often will fix...)

Strange phases of the moon also seem to factor in here...

I'm still getting the 'pageok' alarm with a blank page, but only when I click the Show unread posts since last visit. Which is a bit annoying.

What should I try to make it stop doing that?

I don't know.

No issues from my end..everything was/is working fine.

I started having trouble loading Yahoo also using AOL on dialup. I switched to an unsecure wireless network and Tool Talk comes up fine. Unfortunately I don't trust it so I have to use AOL.

Okay nevermind, Rusty's trick works. I'm good.

So far no problems using an iPad and Safari.  When using my PC with XP, and Firefox I get it all the time.  Also extremely slow.

I haven't had a problem one on my --really old-- Vista, cost $200 delivered way back when I bought it, on my free hand me down monitor that works-fine-but-I-can't-turn-it-off-because-the-switch-is-broken

 Sounds like many of you guys have foo-foo-itis.   Its your new stuff at fault.
    New stuff sucks.

No, no, you must have the latest and greatest, because it, uh, well, it can also , uh, well, it's better at, uh, well, it's faster when doing  um..., umm....

It's really shiny, ok?
