AF type question.... Help?

Strange. I will ask TS about this.

Thanks. You know, since AF has become like CRACK to me, it should work right. Right now it's kinda like crack with a half-bad trip.

I am not THAT old that I don't understand what the "back" button does, I was just saying that for some reason (only on the AF), when I press the back button (ie if I read a thread and don't post... which happens alot because, well, you know why...) I have to press it twice... which means something is totally F'd up, just not sure what.

hmmm, I wonder how many other have this problem. So lets see,

You post in a thread, but it doesn't refresh the screen or page?

When one makes a thread or posts in one, after hitting the submit button, the page changes to indicate that the post is being submitted, there is also a link in the message in case it takes too long and if you don't want to wait to click on it. Either way the screen should refresh back to the thread/post that was submitted. At this point you go anywhere you want to and it should be registered in the index.


Let me know if that worked.

IF I post in a thread, it updates - goes through the whole "thank you for posting..." - and then displays the thread without my post. The new post won't show up until I hit F5. If I don't hit F5 and use the link at the top or bottom of the page to go back the the thread index, the post I just made is not reflected. If I hit F5 - THEN the thread I just posted in will move to the top of the list and my name will show as the person who made the last post .

Sorry, but I suck at computers so I can't describe it any better, but ask me anything I'm not being clear on and I'll try to answer it.


(edit = This ONLY happens on my home computer - runs windows XP home edition and I recently installed IE 7 beta . My work machine is running ie 6 and I have no problems.)

Try clearing your cookies, Open IE, go to tools, Internet Options, and clear cookies, close IE, and restart it. Log back into AF and see if that works.

So I guess that doesn't work. Okay maybe its the IE version that Earl downloaded.

Just typical , when your super sexy and have the body of a Greek god people just don't pay any attention to a thing you have to say . I have a mind too you know .

It's been doing his LONG before the IE upgrade. I THINK it may have something to do with security settings or pop-ups, but I've reset the settings twice and still no dice.

This is getting aggrivating as hell... I guess I'll just have to do a my AF'ing at work... oh darn.
