Hey Guys,

Every time i sending a PM to someone or i click Preview Post even sometimes when replying to a thread, it brings me to a blank white page that says it has timed out.:thinking:

This happened on a few PM "Bricks" that i wrote and had to re write the whole message again.

Its been doing this for the past 2 days.

Was wondering if anyone else is having similar issues still.?



Thanks in advance.:beer:


PS. I had to re write this post again because it timed out again.:yabbmad: :crackup:

Same problem here, I suspect it is a result of the countermeasures to the DDoS attacks. It has been doing it to me on thread replies as well.

At least on IE9 if you hit back it reloads the page WITH your text, so you don't lose what you typed or have to retype it.

Hmm... So its not just me.

Yes if you hit back it saves the text however Not when you hit preview post which i do quit a bit. If you hit back its gone.

I kinda figured it was due to that.

Hopefully it gets fixed soon.:beer:

It was doing the delay on PMs here from before the DDoS attack..

What I do find strange though is that my Screen that has
always been set at 1024 X 768 pixels now (as of tonight)
is 25 screens wide due to the "Saving Energy Saves you
Money" Advertising at the bottom of the Forum pages...:undecided:

when PMing and replying to Posts...

Yeah I'm a big boy now. :rolleyes:

I'm 104 points more important than you. :na:

:crackup:


I wonder 10 years from now what our Rep count will be. LOL

Some of you High Rep guy's will be in the thousands.:eek:

Sooner or later we are going to have a Vet section for the Rep bar if you hit 1000 points.:crackup:

FireHost blocking of PMs just happened again...
wouldn't let me sent a rely to a PM... Had to
go to the Profile page and click on "send a PM"
to get the message through...

EDIT.....
now its doing it when responding to Posts.
This is what the page looks like...

BTW...I've noticed that if a PM is short it seems to be
sent OK... It is long PMs that seem to alert FireHost..
