Problem getting to BHW with FF

horseplayer · #1 (**permalink**) 07-18-2008, 04:38 PM

I have been unable to get to BHW for the last 3 days

using my FireFox browser so today I tried IE and it worked fine.

I think there was a recent update to FF which I'm setup to auto download and install so I'm guessing that it has something to do with that.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,
horseplayer

I'm able to access BHW with an updated version of FF on a Mac with no noticeable issues.

Firefox here, no issues.

Try closing firefox and running CCleaner, see if that helps.

Funny mentioned that Clix.

I haven't had any trouble reaching or logging into BHW.

I did have a problem logging out last night. When I tried to log out I got an error message unlike any that I have seen here before.

I actually had to run CCleaner TWICE---again, something that has never happened before. It always does the job the first time ( except for registry issues and that's a whole other ball of yarn)

I know you guys love me but....damn.....just let me go sometimes OK?

Update: I HAVE been getting a strange error message when I log out, as follows:

Error 503 Service Unavailable

That's the one.

Seems to be a problem related to Varnish.

Off topic - Please get rid of that AV. I know a person who looks like that in real life and every time I see it I have to take a 10 min break laughing off my desk.

Same thing happens with IE and Opera

I sometimes have trouble with the PM/search/control panel. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Really weird.

Yes same problem here with FF with IE its fine board is either under too much load or some thing is screwing up FF. I posted about this in another thread and have tried a few things from google but no luck
