rhizome Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Help please, the PCPitstop Forums aren't working right for me. First: All the smileys have disappeared from the "reply" screen. The "post emoticoms" are still present, but only a small sliver of an icon is visible at the far left of the post emoticom window. I think it is a radio button, and it is clickable, but I don't know what it does. Second: After logging in, the Your Profile window opens and will not close. It obscures part of the search box, part of the RSS feed button, and maybe more. Third: On Login, "Remember Me" cannot be disabled. Loading the forums gives me one cookie, and logging in places four more. Except for the "anon" cookie, I can delete them but they always come back. I can live with the other stuff, but I sure do want the smileys back. Any help appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Still a problem? Or maybe resolved itself already? Last PM I had a temporary inability to post replies, followed by inability to access the Pit. But it cleared up overnight. All the features you mention are working correctly from my point of view. You could possibly benefit from the usual routine... Clear your cookies and temps. Clear your JAVA cache Clear your DNS and some might think this unnecessary, but clear your PreFetch Then attempt to login again. Link to post Share on other sites
rhizome Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the reply. Cleared cookies Don't have Java yet Don't know how to clear DNS or Prefetch All problems remain. I replaced XP with Win7 one week ago. Can't find Admin acct. Edited May 26, 2011 by rhizome Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 To Clear your DNS... It actually "should" empty out every time you reboot. But for this exercise Open a Command Prompt start - all programs - accessories - cmd.exe or Run box -cmd.exe - enter At the blinking cursor type: ipconfig /flushDNS <-- notice the space between g / _________________ For emptying your PreFetch start - run - type: Prefetch - select all files listed in Prefetch and delete or C:\Windows - Prefetch - select all files and delete. ____________________ Lotsa folks here at the Pit and at Window SevenForums will say that emptying Prefetch is a waste of time and will cause boot and application loading to be sluggish until Prefetch becomes populated again. They are right. But if you are having problems with a file loaded in Prefetch, it needs to go. Link to post Share on other sites
rhizome Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Not worried about temporary slowdown (insert ROFL smiley here) Cleared DNS cache Cleared Prefetch Cleared Pitstop cookies Rebooted Same problems The good side is that none of this keeps me from posting. Link to post Share on other sites
Jacee Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Try "Compatibility View Settings" (click on 'tools') Link to post Share on other sites
rhizome Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 I probably should have mentioned that I use Firefox. Sorry if it caused confusion. Can't find "Compatibility View Settings" in Firefox Tools, View, or Help. Google lists "Compatibility View Settings" with references to IE. Link to post Share on other sites
rhizome Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Hold everything. It's all good now. The culprit--Noscript. I now have it disabled on the Pitstop Forums page. I didn't provide as much information as I should have, and for that I'm sorry--I know that your time is valuable. Thank you Doug and Jaycee for your efforts.

Doug Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ahhh! It "is" all good now. :: I should have thought to have you look in that direction earlier. Thanks for posting your solution, others. Link to post Share on other sites
