Have noticed weird stuff going on when I try to post a comment or when I attempt to edit or edit myself.(spelling, back space etc.) Also just attempted to post some pics from my desk top and they didn’t post. I have noticed that when I type a comment the print is super small. When I click on post comment oor submit Swaylocks tells me I don’t have anything in the comment field. In the middle of the last sentence “or” is spelled with two “o’s”. I can’t use the mouse to go back and correct it. I have to back space and delete everything back to the typo. Notebook and Desktop both work fine anywhere else. So what’s up???
Lots of people have had similar issues.
By going to Mozilla Firefox search engine, then to Swaylocks and then logging in the problem is solved.
Are you saying that is a one time fix or something that would be required at every login?? Does that cure my sudden inability to post pics?
I signed in through mozilla firefox as discribed. It did not fix the problem. As attachment was loading it jumped to the bottom of the page & deleted the already attached files.
My backdoor was emailing a picture to Huck, and he posted it. Sometimes I have problems and sometimes I don’t. wait until tomorrow, and try again. That works for me now.
I haven’t had any problems with swaylocks lately, but I was having a boatload of problems with my internet in general, switched to Google Chrome and been lovin’ it, problems pretty much gone, computer back to being pretty quick and responsive.
I had to download IE7 (in order to get my Mcafee upgraded), but I don’t use it, seems like I had way more problems when I was using IE as my browser, and Mozilla not much better, in fact, worse.
Are you sure it deleted the attachment ? If you go to the edit feature in the post after posting it and wondering where the pics are. I find they are there but the list box is unchecked any time I try to use moore than one pic.
I keep perving at the pop up russen single woman in the top right when im tippppinggg and that caussssezz missstakess
I can’t believe anyone uses McAfee or Norton these days. Both are bloatware and often cause PITA unnecessary issues with browsers. There are a number of free antivirus programs that are just as effective without the glitches, hogging of resources, and overall annoyances. AVG free is just one example.
I use Firefox exclusively along with Adblock plus. Never have problems when the site is functioning normally. Plus, I don’t see ANY ads, ever.
I will look into that Sammy. The adblock is one thing I do miss about firefox.
Same problems for me. The only way I have been able to post for a few months is by clicking on Input Format and selecting Simple Editor.
I’ve had probs with pics but right now it’s all peachy. I just click attachments and do the do and then she’s all good. I’m on a Mac doing Safari. No complaints from this quarter right now but boy … in the past I’ve had a few. Out of fear perhaps I never try to do multiple pics when one by one will do. LOL.
been having lots of problems for some time
I use chrome exclusively infact I use a chromebook whenever possible (auto updated)
if you aren’t then you will be owned by my friends in eastern europe sooner or later
sandboxie is another protection solution
but i noticed recently allot of sites are doing things behind the scenes I don’t want happenning.
The Surfer Mag site is even worse.
According to my computer “Geek” attempting to post pictures on this site the other nite is most likly the reason my desktop picked up a virus from this site and completly friggin’ crashed. So I’m done.
Hi Huck,
Me too. I thought we lost pages of the Single fin love thread. Really good stuff.
I exclusively use Apple products and its all over the place for me too. Threads disappear, time goes backwards and pages of recent posts don’t show, view count goes backwards…
It’s not really annoying but its confusing, I give up posting for two days and then realise its been three weeks and I wonder if I should bother. I’m out for a while.
Until I log in, it appears as if there have been no new posts for several days. Once I log in, I get the updated screen. And sometimes it just logs me out for no reason - especially if I click over to Quiver.
something feels definitely wrong
in IE11 I got all kinds of warnings of bad executables trying to run in the background which was shut down as was the site
you are presented different views depending on whether you are logged in or not
the marketing stuff google is presenting seems almost porn related
so I would have assume the site’s been compromised with cross scripting and may be implanting drive by’s
hard to tell but it is acting like a compromised site.
caution should be taken
I use chrome when at all possible.
Still broken. Main forum topic list has been frozen for days, unless you’re logged in.
I haven’t posted pic’s here, but never (fingers crossed) had any major problems. I’m running Mozilla and Bitdefender (anti-everything…but I don’t really feel an increase in down the line speed).
