ozzyo Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hello all, what have I done to RMweb? On the wife's side of the puter RMweb looks like this. Pretty much as I would expect it to look. But when I go to my side, it looks like this. I'm starting to think that it must be a virus, I have a firewall running and AVG anti virus running. Any pointer will be much appreciated. OzzyO.

Kenton Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Looks to me as if one of the css files have not loaded correctly (they format the display in the browser). IPB uses an unbelievable number of them (and still doesn't manage to get them to work properly - I get errors with them on every page load - using error console in Firefox), it not only loads them as separate files (calls to the server) but also embeds the code inconsistently all over the page. It is a wonder anything ever works. Shouldn't be a cookie issue and is more likely to be caching. The browser seems to just give up/loose connection before the css files are applied. I have experienced similar problems and usually the forced reload works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, it seems to have worked, but as I'm replying to your post I'm getting a lot of strange symbols like this </strong>. and two browse buttons for attaching files.Now to try the same thing on some of the other sites that have gone funny. Like face book and my Emails.OzzyO.PS. it's not setting out my writing as I'm wanting it to do as well. This PS should be on a separate line below my name.

Sounds like you have network issues on that PC - causing drop outs of style sheets etc. Have you run any anti-virus / trojan checks recently ?

ozzyo Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hello Beast, the last scan was run at 10;30 and I'm running one now. I've just gone to the more options box and the font options bar is missing along with all the other things that should be on it. Thanks for any help, but please keep it simple. OzzyO. PS. I've just found that the go to top of page button is not now working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2012 What browser do you use ? Perhaps it's time to clear all the temporary files. Or try a different browser ? - I use Chrome at home and Firefox in work, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyo Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hello all, the browser is Mozilla Firefox, I've just run disk clean up no temp files showing. I was going to attach a photo to show you but that's not working. I'm thinking that it may have to go to hospital after all. The scan has finished showing no viruses. OzzyO.

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2012 My Firefox is 16.0.2, there was a recent hoo-hah over Firefox as a recent release was very poor. Try using Internet explorer and see if the problem persists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those problems you give: the visibility of the pseudo html code </strong> and the loss of white space are a good indicator of some javascript problem - as I experience them ALL the time with this IPB editor. When clearing temp files you should also clear the cache (in the same box in Firefox) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopardml2341 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hello all, thanks for the reply Kenton, but after using the cleaner that Main Man pointed me towards it all seems to be all right. OzzyO. Hello OzzyO, Get into the habit of using that cleaner before you shut your pc down each time - you'll be amazed. Also on the front screen of ccleaner, in the windows list (should be visible on first screen) tick everything except wipe free space, ticking that makes cleaning process a lot longer to complete. Also select the applications tab and tick everything on there. Downside is you will probably have to enter passwords for pages that require logon id, but it's better that than having the computer 'save' them. PC's are not good at keeping these secrets especially when there are some cybervermin around that seem to want to make it their lives mission to get all your 'secret' data. No connection other than satisfied user. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
