This defies all possible human explanation

[Lancer]

Parts of Apolyton are missing, yet there. For instance, to start this thread I had to click where 'new thread' has always been. Though I could not see it, it's there and I started the thread. Also, everyones avitar is missing, and there are no smilies in the smilies box. Did someone let them out?

Anyway, is there a rational explanation for such an occurance?

I will attempt a smilie:

I just clicked around until one came up. They are there, but they are likened unto phantoms.

So, what's up?

'Post a reply' is missing, but if I hold the curser over the spot it will show in a white box.

I can's see a smilie in my previous post, though I made one. Can you see one?

[The Mad Monk]

Yep, try a reboot.

[Lancer]

ok, brb

Same thing. I also should mention that I can't get to Apolyton through the home page. I have to get here through an OT thread I have listed in my favorites, and click on 'Off Topic' from there.

On the home page all that loads is the graph lines.

No problem w/ FFZ.

[The Mad Monk]

Hmm. Strange.

FFZ is somewhat different -- I think it uses an older version.

Try Counterglow.

[Urban Ranger]

Odd. There's no problem with 'Poly from where I am.

[Lancer]

That loads fine.

[Lancer]

I see avatars now. No smilies, also the 'send ***** a PM' and all that stuff is gone. Just grey boxes.

Try to flush your cache, i.e., delete all the temporary Internet items.

[Lancer]

Ok, did that. Now I'll restart again. I also have something I have to do. Be back in 20 or so.

[Lancer]

Well, while I was away I left it on the home page to see if it would ever load. It did. When I got back it had loaded. The OT is still the same though.

Browser hiccups. I used to have lots of weird little problems with pre-1.0 release of Mozilla, but the OpenSource browser is coming along well.

There's really not much you can do other than flush the cache and reload. If it doesn't work, repeat. Oh, after flushing the cache, exit and restart the browser.

[Lancer]

Well, maybe tomorrow it will be better. Thanks MM, UR.

[Lancer]

Hmm. No changes this morning. Very odd.
