How many people are seeing this weird bug where the links disappear when you load the board? :huh: Malte's already told me he's seeing this issue.

Saw it some last night and twice this morning. Once when I tried to click on this topic and once when I tried to reply to this topic. I had to use the refresh botton both times. Weird.

not seen any thing like that but theres some broken image or somethign loading from a 209.ip addy that is tending to make board loads craw.

ip is i5.ifrm.com I guess thats where all the images load from includign the background but sence all major code and image is loading its going to be a single one that is causieng the constant loading/transfering message

Oh, so it's this board doing it. I thought maybe my internet in general was being dumb. But yea, it's been happening quite a bit -_-

Yep, nobody is alone with this one, it seems. I'm getting the same problem, on both Internet Explorer 6 and 7. I thought it was somebody's idea of a joke, but now that I think about it (and Malte mentioned it to me earlier today that it wasn't exactly a typical kind of joke), maybe it is an actual technical problem...

Any thoughts on what's going on?

I've also seen it. had to refresh it once then it worked.

Perhaps not typical, but you did check the date right?

F-14 Ace · **Reply #7 on:** April 01, 2007, 09:16:06 PM

Awwww! Got me again!

I totally forgot about that! Man, I thought something was wrong with the board!

I saw this glitch as well.

Dangit Petrie, you got me and nova working for over 1/2 hour on this, to the point where I removed an image from the source code that novaflare tracked down as "corrupt"! :blink: <_<

Congrats to you for messing with the techies this year.

I'd say I did my job for the day. Only prank I pulled too.

Petrie. · **Reply #11 on:** April 01, 2007, 09:26:57 PM

I took out the code so it wouldn't happen anymore. Show's over.

Didn't scare Akiko away.

Wait, so you mean that whole "Link Disappearing" thing was a prank?!

I forgot about April Fools day too. Odd, I just never think of it unless someone tells me, or if I see the date directly.

Good one Adam!

I'm even worse. I'm being fooled even when I'm fully aware of april fool's day :^.^:

I had a feeling it was just some prank. I'm usually skeptical about strange occurances on April 1st. So many years of being pranked has taught me to be on high alert on April Fool's Day. I'm not really fond of April 1st, to be honest.

Petrie. · **Reply #15 on:** April 02, 2007, 09:25:59 PM

I'm just glad April 1st wasn't a school day...the eighth graders would've had a ball with me.

heheh. As for students playing pranks on teachers well lets just say 8th graders dont hold a candle to bored 11 graders and seniors heh. We really got our teachers good back in the day. When you got 2 full clsses in a englisgh class well the teacher has some trouble

Well im not sure but i think there really is somethign wrong with spacer.gif as i never even seen the dissapearing link gag you pulled (im useing fire fox so who knows) But what i was getting untill i used add block to block spacer.gif image is a ocnstant load from one of the 2 209 ip addys.

I haven't a clue as to what that is. I've had no trouble loading anything, before or after this prank. Everything should be back to normal. I believe the 209 server is where things are hosted if they're uploaded through the forum, so if that was so, all the images would be broken right now, save for those people who are using offsite hosting.

I just loaded the page in Firefox and there's nothing amiss. Its the portable version and everything is cleared out the minute the browser is closed so I'm not seeing cached pages. I use Opera by default nowadays and I've had no issues with missing images.

I'll try later this evening to find out more about this all the same.

Could you take a screenshot of the board and circle what's wrong? Maybe that would help me.
