Blank Screen

[davidcorner]

Has anyone encountered this problem?

 

I go to a topic, and the header is displayed, including the "Add Reply" button, but none of the postings.

The scroll bar shows that there is something there, but when I scroll I just get blank screen.

 

It only happens sometimes, and only on some of the pages of a multi-page topic, but seems to be consistent - so I have never seen some pages of some topics.

 

Sometimes, when I want to see the most recent posting, I have done "Add Reply", not to reply, but only to see the final postings.

This always seems to work.

 

PS I am using Netscape Navigator version 4.7, and not Windows.

This happens to me, and it is entirely a browser software problem. In my case, it is MSIE 5.2 for Mac OS X. I just use the button in the upper right corner of the window that removes or restores the button bar, and that redisplays the entire page.

 

This doesn't happen with Netscape 7.1 for OS X or with any other program. When I get tired of it I will upgrade to some other program

 

Apologies to Windows users for irrelevance!

When you compare all internet end-users with free-reed instrument players: you are apologizing to the PA crowd for playing concertina

 

I have a weak spot for individuals that are not following "the crowd", so a concertina-player, using non-Microsoft stuff, must be a unique person .

Not so. I happen to know thare are at least two of them.

Thanks for the info.

I've just tried hiding and restoring the button bars, but no effect.

Then I tried the Reload command, and that seems to do the trick.

Perhaps something doesn't get loaded correctly the first time it is loaded, and Reload fixes it.

 

I'll continue with Reload when things aren't displayed properly, and report back only if there are any pages which fail to respond to this.

 

PS

I log in (only occasionally) from my system at work, a Sun SPARCstation running Sun's version of UNIX, Solaris.

I'm using the Web Browser that came pre-installed!
