Whenever I try to access it, all I get is a white screen. Is this peculiar to me?  |

 It's a plot. And I see George has hit 4,000 posts. Coincidence? |

i fifth that! must be just you.
They do claim that that thing the smilies are doing above your avatar can affect your vision. plus, with all 3 of them at the same time, the discharge might have been too much for the screen to handle. Need a tissue?

Nope, still coming up empty.
there's a "a>" at the end of the thread name. Is this somehow a Ghost Of DOS thing?

 A day later, at another terminal, and I still get a blank page. 18 replies tells me I may still be alone in this. Hope y'all are being helpful. |

 Nope. Clear my browser's cache?  You've vastly overestimated me, sir.

are you using IE or firefox? try logging out of the forums and see if it helps. You should be able to see the thread even logged out.

Me too. What language is he speaking? Con, I can get in no problem. The first night I just suspected it was the computer you were using. Weird that you're on a different computer and getting the same thing. Maybe what nolefan said - try going in as a guest and see what happens. Could be linked to your user sign-in, although how is beyond me.
Nolefan - I humbly bow before your computer expertise.

Okay, it's a real mystery. What do Lotus and Con have in common that the rest of us don't have? And why only one thread?

Not only can I not read that thread, today I can't read the news either - I can open the first page of SMH or the Times and then it crashes... something serious going on about the chicken 'flu (What about the new openness policy?) or the polluted water that we should know about? Are you in Henan province mate... sometimes it's the provincial censors...

The mystery: why that one single thread? Containing neither links nor controversy?
I tried logging out, but it was still blank. Today still blank. I can only think it's that "a>" touch being misinterpreted. At any rate, I've narrowed it down to either the net bar's software, or the server. And if Lotus is betting the same problem, it's not this local server.

I don't know what you mean by the a> thing. I don't see that. I thought of links too, but there just aren't any in that thread. Nothing that defines it from any other that I can see. But - it is no different than any other for me. Way weird what's happening to you.

Maybe the slash... The thread says "Just how brave / daft are you?/>a" Hope this thread doesn't suddenly collapse.

Mac and firefox, IE sucks and is extremely slow. Firefox, is quick and I never have problems. Safari is second best.
