Test

[Darth Viscera]

to see if I can post now.

[Dalethria Mal Pannis]

That is an affirmative :)

[Darth Viscera]

not really

[Darth Viscera]

okay...WTF

[Dalethria Mal Pannis]

okay. You wanted to know if you could post and you did, I think that answered the question =P

[Darth Viscera]

I am experiencing an erratic connection with regards to vBulletin boards, which precludes me from posting with any degree of certainty.

[Dalethria Mal Pannis]

@_@ weird

[Darth Viscera]

agreed. And I've been trying to reply to my DivX.com rant, too. It's not often I make the front page. :\

[Darth Viscera]

Testing on WinXP, as opposed to Windows 2000. Security Updates may have something to do with it.

[Darth Viscera]

Test failed. Issue is not OS-related, at least as far as NT core-based operating systems go.

[Darth Viscera]

Test on lowest security setting on XP also a failure.

[Nupraptor]

Which browser are you using? I experienced difficulty posting with Mozilla for a while.

[Darth Viscera]

Tested with IE 6.0, Netscape 4.08 standalone, Netscape 6.21.

[Darth Viscera]

In Netscape 6.21 it says that the connection has been reset by peer.

[Nupraptor]

And you have no problem posting on non-vBs? Because that sounds like there's something wrong on your end. Try a good fdisk, my friend.

[Darth Viscera]

it's only a problem for me on swforums.net. Other vB's (such as doom9's) are fine.

[Evil Hobgoblin]

Could it be that one of Ogre's hacks is somehow interfering with Vis' particular Internet Protocol?

Not that I really know much about those kinds of things, but I figured I'd throw that out there and see what people thought.

[Marcus Telcontar]

From what I can see, it is purely to do with his machine only and not SWForums. There could be a transient network condition on his end or a corrupt driver, a registry error....

[TheHolo.Net]

This problem being isolated to a single case leads me to the same conclusion that DT just stated.

[TheHolo.Net]

I have attempted to research the problem Viscera is having at the vBulletin.com forums and found no other cases similar. I have also, just last night, updated these forums to run the most recent release of vBulletin which fixed a number of code bugs though the majority were spelling errors in redirect messages that Admins get when performing specific functions. I had hopes that the upgrade may help resolve the problem, but now see that it didn’t.

Have you tried from a computer other than the one connected to the ISP you are using now Viscera?

[imported_Firebird1]

Viscera!
Have you done a Virus Scan yet?

[TheHolo.Net]

He has tried it on a couple of the PCs on his LAN with the same result.

[imported_Firebird1]

Well, then he has a Network routing problem.
He needs to double check all of his network settings. And he needs to ensure those settings are correct.

[Hari Rendale]

Visc, run a 50 - 60 count ping to SWFans, and do a few trace routes. I think theres a screwed up router somewhere.

That with or without monitor? Because my monitor weighs a bloody ton. :x

[Frank Harrigan]

Never should left EZBoard...

[Live Wire]

was that a pro ezboard comment??



Burn him!

[Darth Viscera]

It's not the board, it's my ISP. Excite@Home should never have held out for more $$ even after they got a raise from the cable companies.

[Frank Harrigan]

Oh, trust me, I'm pissed off enough from when they deleted my account and the four boards it was EZop at.
Is it that hard to read sarcasm?
You guys are geniuses...

[Nupraptor]

Well, this isn't the first time I've seen you say something to that effect. Hence, I took you seriously. My apologies.

[Champion of the Force]

Is it that hard to read sarcasm?
Sarcasm often doesn't translate well on bulletin boards where people can see nothing more than a bunch of words in a post.

Moral to story: if you want to use sarcasm, use it in such a way that the sarcasm is obvious to the average user. Smilies in particular can help convery this effect (the :rolleyes smilie is particularly helpful in conveying sarcasm).

[Lilaena De'Ville]

...or even the :p

[Frank Harrigan]

That you guys believe anyone loves EZBoard is really... well, odd :rolleyes

[Champion of the Force]

Some people still swear by ezboard.

Heck, some people still swear by the Taliban, so there you go. :)

[Darth Viscera]

*Ahem* could we pay attention to me again, please? :p
