After I am on the Board awhile, when I use the back button it says "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" Nothing helps. Have tried to go to forum, no joy. Tried Main Board, sigh! Finally have to reboot to get back in. Is it me and my particular PC or my local network or The Machine or .... Is anyone else having this problem? Or am I alone wow
I'm having it too. I have found that exiting Internet and entering it again seems to solve problem. That does seem to mean problem could be in my system. Not sure of status of my cache, will check it. But wow mentioned once before that she often empties cache, so maybe that is not necessarily the solution.
I have two big fat Windows books. One mentions cache, but does not say a mumbling word about emptying it or anything else about it. RTFM does not always help. That F if for funny.
Tools>Internet Options then in the "Temporary Internet Files section, click Settings then View Files then click Edit>Select All then click delete, and answer yes when asked if you wish to delete them. Then just "OK" your way back out. You will then have an empty cache.
Only problem is now Amazon and Symantec won't know me anymore. Plus maybe a couple more surprises.(I cleaned out Internet Explorer just the way Max told me to.There were so many cookies I junked them all, rather than trying to go through such a long list.)
I get stuck with a message that my script request is too long
I get this as well but only at work. What happens at home is that the page is headed by about two screens full of garbage with lots of % signs, and then the page. When that happens I can't go back to that page, all I get is the page not found message, but if I go back further and then follow the path again (by actually doing it, not by hitting forward) I can continue. (When this happens the NEW signs become totally unreliable. Some things I have read are marked new, and some things I haven't are not marked new. ) I never get this at work and I assume it's because the computer there can't cope with the two screens of garbage as the too long script request also seems to involve lots of % signs.
And since it's happened right on cue, after exiting and re-entering I can paste a small part of what I get: (Interesting thing is, the preview has changed most of the % to commas) Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.
Thank you Bridget [mopping brow emoticon]. I've now changed my password, but although what's in the message looks nothing like my old password the Board accepted both. Anybody know why?
I dunno... but i have noticed that even when you change you password to - for instance - a 6-letter word, it still appears as a long series of asterisks. i suspect that the 'password' that was shown on your post (and the one that appears when you try to edit) is actually reflective of the cookie, and has nothing to do with the password that you chose.
Horrors, the problem came back! After dumping all my cookies in MS Outlook Explorer 5,I thought the problem was solved. I also have Netscape, so used it today, and got same error message Bad Request to every AWAD command. Maybe it isn't my system's fault. I exited Internet,went back to Outlook Express, now commands work. For now.
