Problem with forum?

nicholas · Post by **nicholas** » Tue May 06, 2008 10:27 pm

Is anyone else getting a problem where they click on something (like to post something, or to view a thread - it's just been random I think) and then a page full of random gibberish comes up?

If I looked closely, it would probably be classed as java or c code or something similar, but it definitely isn't the forum.??

Yea been happening to me too, the script or w/e keeps coming up, just go back and refresh and works fine, never used to happen before though

Cool, confirmed.

Apparently I don't have paint on this computer, so no screenshots, but this is what is being spat out:

why are we seeing binary files now?

Well there are a heap of what appear to be css / javascript / html tags in the header, but you can't quote that / post that sort of thing, so I just included the stuff below it for reference.

Anyway, no problems - you can just hit refresh and get rid of it, just thought I might've been the only one.

50% of the time it is OK
40% of the time it is raw code
10% of the time the download dialog box asks me if I want to download the php file itself

I think it started happening when the files were corrupted a few weeks ago, maybe they are not all fixed yet.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.14 if it makes any difference.

Yeahh ummm i find it really hard loading FTOAUS in regards to this kind of an issue.

It takes time and this is occuring at home and at work.

i've never had this problem before......

It's not really a big deal, as long as it works mostly and all it takes is a hit of a button (reload) and it's fine again

I'd love to look into it for you guys, but Im not getting it

Have you all cleared your internet histories? Cookies & temp files etc? As I did have to restore some cgi script files the other day after that outage...

Bennoz, it's all good buddy - we're just a bunch of whingers.

If I get sick enough of it I'll do some more investigations for you, but otherwise don't lose any sleep over it
