Umm, wha the?

Mon Oct 04, 2004 4:47 pm

Monday is the day I check my side-accounts, so I tried to log into number one.

The moment I hit the 'log in' button, my computer stalled...

...and stalled...

...and eventually stalled OUT.

I got the dreaded 'cannot find server' page.

This happened several times, and eventually gave up and tried the next account on.

That worked fine.

I could get into all my sides except for the one mentioned above, with the problem mentioned - and, about two hours later, I'm still having this problem.

Is anyone else? 0.o

No, but it sounds interesting.

I would suggest clearing your cache and cookies and restarting your computer, presuming that you use Windows. That solves a surprisingly high number of problems.

Are you using IE? IE tends to stall with forms.

I second Shapu.

Have you tried just closing the window and reopening it? That fixes it for me. :lol:

Once again, I have to agree with Shapu (great minds think alike). The simple restarting of the computer seems to cure lots of problems--don't know why exactly--like the computer needs to take a little nap or such.

However, Neo has been extremely slow today--several instances of "page cannot be found" and many times when the darned thing would lock up while in IE and I would have to start a new window--but, so far, knock on wood, no nasty item-stealing glitches!

I tried Shapu's idea, and the login worked fine. Thanks. ^___^
