JPL: It was caused by my clumsy tinkering :)

Good news: I fixed it so that, at least on my computer, I can now View All Threads using IE even when logged in, where before I could not. The problem appears to be that the page was taking too long to process, causing IE to think it had timed out. By slightly optimizing some redundant code, I made it respond faster. 

Now works for me! 

It also works for me with Firefox. I only forgot what I was supposed to look for in the threads. 

to work here to. 

I played a bit this morning and realised that one could small down the page size of func about 1/2 by reworking it in css. Getting rid of all the tables and using div, p and span instead.
If there's interest in doing this I would volunteer doing the hard work for metl (as in providing the visible layout). It might look slightly different but only slightly. 

it's true, and I do plan to switch to CSS eventually. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

Thanks for the offer, but I am also capable of doing this. You should work on quaddicted :) 

I am also capable of doing this
I was never in doubt! :) 

I have trouble at home loading the forum page, but my provider is crappy, but also the only one that reaches my area.

At home I use Firefox and at work IE. Can't go back to IE at home just yet since I managed to corrupt it and don't want to start monkeying around until next week.

CSS - I remember a lecture from a while ago - this works on cascades and saves space because it doesn't hit repeats of the same info?

It's strange that func_ has trouble loading when its mostly text, apart from a few non-windows graphics. Mind you, I know next to nothing of web maintenance. 

What u think about RSS on speedq1 site? 

There isn't one, is there? 

oh, sorry ))

it's _database.php in case you weren't sure (since it gets cut off) 

seems like every once in a while the database is inacessible for a couple seconds. I probably need to detect that and put up a simpler message. 

the FOV120 database went down for a minute... I had the same problem on cubeengine.com at the same time.

forgot to add:
totally out of the blue, firefox 2 something, happened for a few times, now it's gone. 

How long are we suppose to wait before seeing something on the provided link ?
5 mn after typing "enter", it's still waiting for the website.... wtf ? 

seems to be another case of the database going down or getting hit too hard by requests. Maybe i need to ask sleepwalkr about it. 

I fixed the quotes-in-title-preview bug. (It used to eat your title if you had quotes in it and used the preview feature.) 

I reported this in 2005 I think :) 

This doesn't help with the database going down, but hopefully you'll get one error instead of a screen full of errors.
