I'm going to try removing my location information and see if that helps.

Sure and its true... Critical did say it hasn't anything to do with the avatars. I had only mentioned that I got rid of mine to say that since its gone... so is the other problem. Then how do we get rid of the trophies?

This isn't a site issue, so we don't know how to help you. It doesn't have anything to do with avatar sizes. We have max av size limits that have never changed. My advice is to make sure you've got the most recent update of whatever browser you're using and to check out various settings to see if anything stands out.

Maybe Frey has some insight about this....

I am pretty sure it's a browser problem, because I have had that happen at work, but not at home and not on Safari.

I use Internet Explorer on both computers. I haven't checked to see if they're the same version.

The one here at work is Internet Explorer 8.0, version 8.0.7601.17514.

I used to use Google Chrome but had to stop because it takes so darn long to open. It can take 20 to 30 minutes to start working after I click on it. I tried looking up help for it online and a lot of people were complaining about the same problem. It's funny because I originally switched to Google Chrome because it used to be so much faster than IE!

I too use Internet Explorer... NOT the same versions though. And this problem just started for me.

Interesting...I just tried using Google Chrome and it's not slow to load on my work computer as it is on my home computer. It fixed the problem with the trophies, too, so apparently the problem must be with a certain version of IE. I'm guessing my home computer must have a different version of IE. Or it's gotten an update that our work computers have not.

We have to use an older version of IE at work because the web site we do our timesheets at is not compatible with Chrome or the newer versions of IE.

I'm home now and my version of IE here is 9. So that must be the problem with my browser at work. Once our office lets us update our browser, that should fix the problem on that computer.

Strange that I'm not having that problem today. And I haven't done anything difference. Same browser.

At least the problem some how fixed itself... Its nice to be able to read a post.. instead of guessing. *wink*

This is something I noticed just today. When I am key in a post, certain words or phrases, such as "opinion" or "customer service," seem to put in an automatic link to a popup. I've never had that happen before. Is this something new and does any know why it's happening or how to avoid it?

Thanks.

We need some help in the Face Off forum!!

The discussion thread for this week's episode (10/09) is mistitled. The episode title is "Who's the New Who?". Junkyard Cyborg is next week's theme. Could somebody fix the thread title for us, please? Thanks!

Here's a link to the thread in question:
