Really annoying "can't load page" forums

Ultima · January 22nd, 2009, 04:18 AM

Hey guys,

since about a month or 2 I think, I get these annoying cannot load page things when I try to enter a forum section.
Refresh doesn't do squad, go back and try again, works, maybe the 2nd or 3rd time.

I have this on all my computers, sometimes the 1st time I try it'll work right away, and sometimes I have to click like 5 or 6 times before I actually get the page.

Is this an error in some script or something, it's not pc bound, that's obvious, not even browserbound, as I have it in IE and FF.

Are you getting: Tech Support Forums - TechIMO.com - HTTP Error 404: File Not Found!

If so, you have to click Exactly on the Forum or Thread name/link. Prior to a recent forum upgrade, you could click on the whole box where the name/link is and it would open. I'm pretty sure Rob is aware of this and maybe someday it'll be fixed

Yep....that's the one.

Thanks for the tip, no problems at all now. Was so used to just clicking the big box....

Regardless...still very annoying. Can't you just hotfix it by removing the linking function of the box or something?

BUMP....It would be nice to get this fixed pretty please

I get the same issue but I think thats just because of dial up (I get that a lot)

just click the name of the subforum and not around it and you should be fine.

I get that on newegg, microcenter, myspace (can't keep the children off of it)(teens), and many other sites

Hoping to regenerate some interest in this annoying issue..The Reseller forum links work ok.

Bump again.

Even thought I know how when and where to click, I still miss the target and back to hit the back button and try again. Please help us poor human beings.
