Testing out new system

[Gordis]

Try to refresh the page until you get the right time.

I also have the board loading as it used to be yesterday, but when I press "The northern Kingdom" link below the logo it returns to present.

Sure we have seen Odare's post! But was there another one?

[Rian]

two posts?! I only see one

[Serenoli]

I meant one odare post and one serenoli post! Thanks for the advice... I'll try it out and see if it works

[Gordis]

If it doesn't help try this - works for Internet Explorer

Go to Tools - Delete Browsing History - choose Temporary Internet files and delete them. Leave the cookies and all the rest. Normally it debugs nicely.

Now when I have done it, the page opens in real-time.

Angmar - a suggestion - when you're on a page, the number in the "jump to page" box should show the NEXT page, or the previous page if you're on the last page - NOT the current page. There's no use going to the page you're already on!

Nothing is working for me. I can see no new messages posted after the 27th. If I type in the address without the index.cgi? bit, then I get to the home page at correct time, and can see what the latest message is, but when I click on the link to get to THAT, then again the index-cgi bittie is back in the link, and the time goes haywire, from anytime between 4.03 am on the 26th to 3.25 pm on the 27th. This is very frustating, as even if you guys have a solution and are posting it, I can not see it. Can anyone mail me if you guys have ideas on what to do? Thanks!

Serenoli, this is awful! I would suggest deleting all cookies that your browser has saved, wait an hour or so, and try going to the site again. If that doesn't work, I would suggest staying off the site for a few days and then try coming back. (I have had experiences where webpages can "freeze" for days and there is nothing that can be done to unfreeze them but wait until the problem fixes itself.)

While you try these things, in the meantime, try viewing the site on other computers. If your family has multiple computers on the same server, visiting the site on those machines might be insightful in determining if it is only a thing with your computer, or the server. You might want to consider going to a library or computer hub if that doesn't work. (I am going to email this information to you.)

So I followed Gordis' advice (thanks for the emails, Gordis and Angmar both ) and I can read all the posts made today BUT there are still some time-bugs - so now I'm off to try Angmar's advice, in the hope of ironing out any other problems.

I wish I wasn't the one always getting problems accessing NK... I seem to remember we changed servers because of me.

Rian, that's the way that Proboards made their message board template. The only thing I can change is the overall appearance of the page (colors, background, ordering of forums, etc).

Serenoli, I am glad there are some improvements, but none of us like it that you can't get to see the pages all the time.

I wonder if the problem might be because Northern Kingdom is on a free message board server. After all, you can get Entmoot, but it has its own domain name and is fully programmed and customized by the owners.
