Same forum, or different forums each time? What versions of IE are you both running? Are you viewing this site in compatibility mode?

ie 8 (win 7). I have not done any changes at all.

If the Error window comes up. I click OK then click BACK and it's like everything is OK but FREEZES. It's like SERVER just CRASH and get the DIAGNOSE the Problem screen.

right ATM it looks like its working again.

What I did is just click the Compatibily mode and click it again (to Normal).
Let me see if the Ramdom error went away.

It really seems like it has to have something to do with the server.   I don't get this problem on any other website and sometimes I get the error constantly and I basically give up trying to browse BYOAC.   Other times it just comes and goes for a second and everything is fine.

I'm running through the basic maintenance things on the forum now. Looking for error logs too.

I know, right?

Question - if you're reliably getting these errors, can you switch to Firefox or another browser than IE for a while, and see if the errors are still happening?

Chrome is working fine so far.   I'm sure it's an IE8 thing but it seems like it is related to communication with the server.   Maybe IE8 is more sensitive to a true problem that exists?

Hey Thenasty,

Try this.  Go into tools->internet options->security and click the "default level" button and see if things clear up.

I did this an so far no problems.


Saint, I want 6 months of membership fees refunded!!!!

still getting ramdon (diff..ones) errors.

something I notice is that, once I get the error (then I click the back button), everything will be ok (in this site) but if I try to goto any web sites, it won't go.

This only happens in BYOAC site. I can go to anywhere but if I come here then get the error, I can no longer goto any sites.

If I close IE, get msg that It's busy, do I want to close it anyway.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Do the two of you have this issue if you use a different computer? It's almost as if some code on the page is hosing it out.

I fired up XP and have been surfing BYOAC for about 20' now using IE8 (I usually use FF whether I am on my Macs or PCs).

So far I've not run into the problem the others are seeing.

IE8 is set to "medium" security for the internet zone, fwiw.

I tried messing with all sorts of security settings and nothing helped.

But consistently it's only happening in IE on your machines?
Title: Re: why i get error on www
Post by: Thenasty on September 23, 2010, 12:00:59 pm
I was in Google doing some Street MAP and error pop up. So it's not only BYOAC web page now.  :banghead:

You cannot view, access, or load some webpages in Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 9 Beta

When it happens, it pops up the error dialog and once you close it, it takes you to the "Diagnose Connection" page.   When I run the diagnostics, it says everything is fine.

hmmm.. seems like it's working now. I did a manual update (notice that lat update I did was 11/2009, which is wierd).
I had 69 (200+MB) of windows update and the Adove Flash update too.


I'll keep testing if it fixed. So far so good....  :applaud:

I really think that did it, unless Saint found a fix.

I'll keep my fingers cross for the next couple of days  :applaud: :applaud:

Saint's just a guy in an India call center.   To get any real tech support on this forum you need to go to the owner.

I gave up and switched to Chrome.   I like it better that IE.

I don't think it was fixed by your update.   I tried IE8 again and it's been working fine.   Seems like whatever the issue was, it cleared up or India fixed it.

I *did* run various forum maintenance tools, but I believe you were still getting the error after I did so. I haven't done anything since then.

On the other hand... meh :dunno :)
