Help!!!! Can't get to forums and other places!

[prandva2]

Can anyone PLEASE tell me why I cannot get to Forums. So many of them come up with a mess of just names, etc. I also tried to open Julie's directions for her Itty Bitty Photo book and it won't open. I am stumped!!!

Thanks for any help that you can give!!!!

Sounds like you might be having some login issues. Check this out:
Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Actually, prandva wasn't deleted, Shawna - she's still there. She's just seeing some funky stuff in the forums. She was going to cut & paste here to see if anyone else had the same issue. I think it is a browser setting, but not sure.

[Shawna]

Sorry my misunderstanding. I was sharing what happened to me and how it was fixed. Great service here.

Not a prob, Shawna! Just wanted to clarify so it didn't look like we were losing people left & right! :lol: Though it certainly felt like it with you & Dawn & star2shine going MIA on us!!!

jenn, I think she's having a problem that I've heard about from one or two other people. I've got it flagged at home, but not here at work. if we could get a description of what she's seeing that might help jog my memory. I think it's related to security-related software or something though. does she have Norton installed? or other software installed recently?

[jbalcer]

Daven - she had pasted into a pm, but (spank my hands here), I got delete happy.

It was a lot of gibberish. Lots of << stuff, etc.

Hey Daven,
Here is what prandva told me about her loggin into forums problems.

Wendi, the following is what I just got when I tried to go to a forum.....it is typical of what I get......

Daven, I gave her the webmaster@ email address so she may contact you directly. But, if you have any advice please post it here, too and I'll forward it to her. I did send her the info on the link Jenn posted above.

Thanks, Wendi

Wendi,

I think I'm one of the people that Daven's talking about as having the problem. It sounds a lot like what happened to me. It was MacAfee applications that caused the problems.

Tell your friend to try this:
If she's running MacAfee, disable MacAfee Privacy Service and see if she can get into the forums and see the attachments.

If she discovers that was the problem, tell her to try these things in this order:

1) Update the privacy service software using the "Update" option in the McAfee security center program.

2) Do a Microsoft "Windows Update" - it's a menu option under "Tools/Windows Update" in Internet Explorer 6.0. Download any critical updates, especially any IE 6.0 service pack.

Note that I'm not a computer expert, just a somewhat experienced home user - so if this doesn't work, I'm stumped, too!

HTH,
Jeanne

[splitcoaststampers]

thanks Jeanne!!!!

I heard from her and YES, she's running McAfee.

[prandva2]

Thank you everyone.....especially Jeanne....I disabled my Privacy Service on McAfee and so far I can get on all of the Forums that I cliked on!!!!

I can't begin to thank everyone for all of the time that you spent helping me!!! I am elated!!!!

Thank you so much!

Great news, Pat! I love when I'm actually helpful (and I remember how frustrating that problem was)! Jeanne and Daven to the rescue!

I'm running Windows XP with IE 6.0 - if you have the same setup, I imagine that the same steps should fix it. After you get a good forum fix for a while, you could try updating your McAfee stuff - after I did those steps, I could run McAfee and the forums worked at the same time. (Sometimes I do have to disable Priv Service for an attachment - not all the time, just sometimes.... wierd!)

Have fun reading all the posts you can click on!
Jeanne
