What the.....?

[gokart]

Whenever I try to view a page, it comes up then clicks back to the home page. What's going on?

[gokart]

Hmmmm


Seems to have stopped.

[Dustin]

I have not had any trouble, One other member sent me an email about it. I am not sure.

[bren]

It was doing it to me too. No idea why. It just stopped when I accessed the forum through the web site instead of favorites right into the forum.

I had the same problem at work all day today not fun. The problem seams cleared

[Dustin]

I hope its ok now, Thats not good.

[bren]

Just did it again to me when I went in through favorites directly into the forum. I got out went to the web site then accessed the forum from there and it worked fine. Strange that this makes a difference.

[ghiastein]

The forum was having issues this morning so I did what Bren said and the problem was solved.

I had trouble getting here also I thought it was just me. Later Kenn

This issue has nothing to do with the current connection issues.

We have made a change to our systems to attempt to address this issue. If this issue is still occuring for you after 12:15am Pacific (15 minutes from now), please post so that we can confirm whether or not our changes had an impact on the situation.

If you are still experiencing this, please post:

1) Your version of Internet Explorer (click on Help -> About Internet Explorer)
2) Your operating system (e.g. Windows XP Home, Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista, etc)
3) The exact pages that you go to and links that you click on which results in you being redirected back to the home page (please post the URLs)
4) Immediately after you have an issue where a page redirects you, please click on "Start" -> "Run" and type "cmd". Then type "ping DOMAIN" where DOMAIN is the domain for your forum. For example, the domain for this forum is "support.proboards.com" so I would type "ping support.proboards.com" It will then say something like: "Pinging support.proboards.com [67.15.181.2] with 32 bytes of data:" --- Please just copy/paste that line into your post so that we can see which server IP you are connected to.
5) Is there anything in particular you notice? How far along does the page load before it redirects you back to the home page? Any other details?

Also, it would be very helpful if someone who consistently has this problem can follow these instructions:

1) Right click on a thread link which if you clicked on normally would cause you to redirect back to the home page / board.
2) Click "Copy Link Location"
3) Put in your browser URL "view-source:URL" where URL is the URL that you copied (hit CTRL+V to paste it in)
4) Press enter

This will bring up the source code for the page.

Now copy that HTML and put it into a text file (.txt) on your computer. Please attach that file to your post in this thread (attachments are enabled now).

This is quoted from the support forum for proboards. Apparently this is an issue. I am using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and have not had this problem so can someone do this for me so I can post it on the support board.

I've have a problem with the screen flicking, (its not the computer) the red and the yellow base colors are blinking very fast, like a bad light bulb, though not in the last few days.

[Dustin]

Interesting, Anyone else having this problem?

If it helps it hasn't happened since last week tuesday (Oct. 21)
