Is the bus breaking down?

Post by namaste » Sun Nov 08, 2009 10:27 pm

Hello

For the last couple of days I have had trouble getting onto BUS - the internet finds the site ok but then hangs. I try reloading but it still hangs. No other sites give me this problem. Once on the board the pages tend to load twice (refreshing) if they load at all. I still ahve problems getting onto the board consistently.

Thought I'd flag this up. Is anyone else having these problems?

Thanks

I haven't been having any problems using either ie or firefox and I'm on multiple times a day at different times.

Sorry - I realize that that doesn't really help you.

Same as splitimage.

It *could* be that your "Internet History" has become corrupted.

A nice piece of freeware is Ccleaner; http://www.ccleaner.com/.

Maybe install it and then select "Run Cleaner" - that will clean out all of the rubbish.

hi, i use Opera too and noticed that when i installed the updated version the other day, it was refreshing on its own
every time i logged into bus, it would refresh at least 3 times, i went to preferences and changed it to reload after 10 seconds and
now it doesn't do the annoying automatic refreshing anymore...hope that helps you a little
