Done, but with errors on the page.
Lately I've noticed that the FreeRepublic web-site appears to be under what can only be presumed to be some sort of nepharious hacker attack.
I get this message in my IE 6 browser (6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254) status bar when I'm in the News/Activism Messages forum:
Done, but with errors on the page.
When I perform the usual "post-mortem" for such occurances, the computer cusses at me that "an object is expected"
This can typically be found missing around line 1324, always char 1.
So far the implicated FR modules implicated:
www.freerepublic.com/f-news/browser
www.freerepublic.com/focus/my
www.freerepublic.com/focus/my/comments
There are undoubtedly others.
I believe the situattion is way past the comittee stage, and a task force should be immediately formed to root out and punish those who stole our object.
Are you just going to sit around and do nothing until FreeRepublic is nothing more than nubs?
How long before the dinosaur death media begins to crow its vulture song about the "death spiral" that a very well feared right wing-hate blog has entered into? I hold FreeRepublic in extremely high regard and fear this recent development bodes extreme great ill for all mankind.
Its not so much that FreeRepulic's object has been stolen. This is quite similiar to Dirk Ghently's perplexity after conducting the Schroedinger Cat experiment with next door neighbor Mrs. Grundy's cat (which he "borrowed" not stole), in that he discovered that somebody had stolen the cat right out of the middle of his experiment. As he was dumbfounded, so am I: Its not the issue of that a cat had been stolen, but who would even want to steal a cat?
Which brings me back to the present issue: its not the matter that FreeRepublic's object has been stolen, but why would anybody even want to do so? That object must be quite valuable and I believe that the powers that be would be well behooved of themselves to keep it under better lock and key.
Honey, I think cocktail hour ended a few hours ago!
Never happened before..
A moose bit it off.
No trouble using Firefox 2.XXXXX.
Whose turn is it to get in the shower?
This would be because the last few updates to IE have resulted in a progressively more broken browser. Switch to FireFox.
What's going on John?
Make sure you log in first.
How could I be the first to ask???
Are you logged in?
Laz?
Are you in the shower?
site loaded a bit slow. i used the air spray thing on the pc and it seems to have helped.
No....he needs to get a shower first.
Actually today, no matter what browser I am using , this site in particular has been very slow to load. All other websites are fine.
Haven't noticed it today though.
Yeah John! Time to switch to Microsoft Windows, IIS and SQL Server!
:-D
I’ve seen similar issues lately (w/Firefox), but I also have been getting weird stuff elsewhere. Especially IMDB site, which I go to a lot.
I use Firefox and have seen no problems on this site like that.
