Question about the forum...

[MRTelec]

How come I can only see the For Sale/Trade and Testing/Misc. forums like 1/15 times I load the page?  I normally only see the top two forums.  

Thanks,

Mike

That's a strange one.....

When the index only shows you two forums, does it complete drawing the page with all the boxes and other info (and finally the copyright mark at the bottom)?

What is your OS / Browser?

[MRTelec]

Yep, the page finishes loading.  I'm using XP with the latest version of IE (5, I think?).

Are you using any pop-up blockers or content filtering software?

I knew somebody who had a pop-up blocker on his machine and some damage to winsock.dll. Even when the blocker was off, it still removed parts of several pages and replaced those pieces with blank spaces.

I've recently been working with the phpBB code a LOT and have never seen anything like this. I also can't see anything in the code that would allow for a page to be generated that way.

If you can get a sample of the full screen with all the forums and "condensed" version, open them both up in a text editor and post the chunk of HTML at the point where the files differ. I'll see what I can find.

Sounds like a cookie problem.  I've noticed that if I'm not logged in (after clearing out cookies), the only forums shown are this one and the beginner project.

After logging in, all four forums are accessible.

I know if you are not signed in, you might not see some forums. Could that be it?

I bet that's it.  I almost never sign in.

Thanks!
