Polls

I have never had that error either.

I do find though, that when I try to view a thread it often stalls half way and then (after a wait) gives up and only displays half the thread. I sumetimes have to click 'refresh' two or three times to see the entire thread.

This is not a problem at my end since it is only Apolyton I have these problems with and I am always using either ADSL or T1.

i've not (within recent memory) encountered rogan's problem either. must be my blazing fast 56k modem (which only connects at 28k at work )

It takes me a few tries to respond to a poll when I'm at home, it goes first time at work. The strange thing is that I'm jacked into the same overall network on both of them (university-wide), and i don't think it's the speed that matters as I can get download speed of up to 800Kb/s.

[Paul Hanson]

I've never had this problem, and I'm only using a 64k ISDN connection. Very strange.

I appear to never be able to post in polls under IE 6 while at uni. Similarly, I can't log in to Utopia. However, both work fine under netscape.

[Hydey]

I never have a problem.

Perhaps you should move to Australia, everything runs smooth here.

I'm running IE6, could that be the cause of the problem?

[ColdWizard]

i too use IE6

interesting problem you've got Grrr!! (that's the appropriate number of !'s right? )

Finally someone get's my name right. If you are ever confused, it is in my sig.

[ColdWizard]

maybe your problem is proxy or firewall based?

Yeah, right

Yes that crossed my mind too. Funny thing is, if I try to log in to Utopia from one of the university's computers, I can't do it even under netscape. Which is weird.

I've never had problems although on one occasion, not so long ago, I was able to vote twice in a poll. My first vote was registered, it thanked me for voting and then I was given the options at the top of the screen to vote again. To wit I did and it thanked me again, bumping up the vote one more notch.

Most bizarre.

At school I use a proxy for the LAN internet, and have no real problems except on VBB's, and that I can't figure out how to configure Trillian.

Chowlett, as for Netscape, I, as the school's network administrator can't be bothered. The proxy software just won't work!?!?

At home I have no firewalls, proxies, security and whatnot!
Although I do occasionally get a dud internet connection which gives me a DNS error on any site. It seems to only want to upload.

[poison_flower]

I seem to be doing the same things that you are doing, but I never get that error.
