hinky spanish problems

On October 1st, 2007 TigerLilly said:

Am having all sorts of weird things happening here on my Spanish computer( besides my own problems adjusting to new keyboard) am using explorer here/pc. Have pages loading with funny vertical lines, and all kinds of mean nasty ugly things that am too tired to remember what they all were right now. Will update as problems occur. Suspect that might be as simple as slower internet connection than was used to, but am not absolutely sure yet

So sorry for the added aggravation. It does sound like a slow connection or some such may be part of the problem, but please keep us posted, thanks!

Slow internet

Seems to be the problem, as this morning is working better. Will see what happens later in the day.

Please let us know if the problem persists.

part of what you're seeing sounds like the duplicate post and spam filter problems, which are well known at this point. Quite often someone will get no response when they hit Post, so they keep banging, resulting in multiple posts. Sometimes they all end up in the spam filter, resulting in no posts till Iz or I go in and clean up the mess, i.e. publish one of the dupes and nuke the rest.

is this still happening for you?

Yes, sorry

On October 22nd, 2007 GRTUD said:

Yes, marye, it is still a problem. I get "node 10923" in the "Enter Search" box when the default page pops up. Sorry for hassle and thanks for the prompt reply.

Notes from the Phil tour: Part II -> "Page Not Found"

On October 23rd, 2007 delta said:

I'm getting the same results, specifically: "The page you requested does not exist. For your convenience, a search was performed using the query node 10923."

and Keywords "node 10923" in the search box....
