Missing topic titles

[King Krull]

When I go into any of these forums the topic titles are blank, including this forum, so I can't see what the thread is about.

Screen shot attached.

I use the IE browser and have no problems with other Boards. I have cookies enabled so I don't think it's that.

Thanks.

Am I missing something here? Or is this because my attachment failed and you kindly show it so people can respond to my query??

[Nikolai]

It's because your pic showed up as an attachment. And I've never seen such a problem before, you must be unlucky...

Its a spam filter.

People are too lazy to download attachments, generally. And not everyone can open Word documents.

I've no idea what's causing the problem though.

You sure? I don't see any of your threads there...?

How about if you try to select the topic titles? Is the text just hidden (same color as background) or are there no text at all?

When I try to click on the thread title nothing happens.
Looks like I'm screwed.

Oh well, does anyone know of any active MoM boards? Recently got MoM to run on my XP compouter and would like to check some forums.

Thanks.

King Krull,

You might try using a different style of display for the forums (the drop-down box on the upper left of http://apolyton.net/forums/ ). If it's a gray-on-gray problem, this might let you see something by changing the background color.

As for active MoM forums, the closest thing is probably the GalCiv forum (register at www.galciv.com). In case you hadn't heard, Stardock is planning an MoM sequel, targeted for 2007. Several of the faithful are hanging around the GalCiv boards waiting patiently. If you look in the "would you pre-order MoM2" thread, you'll find some links to other websites, too.

Thanks DaveV

Tried different settings an dvarious colour schemes and nothing.

I'll try your second suggestion.

Thanks again.

That would need a metaspam filter.

[Nikolai]

Well, none of your threads are there either...

That may not be as silly as it sounds. King Krull, do you by any chance have any firewall/spamfilter/other protection software installed, especially Norton Internet Security? If so, try disabling it and see if that makes the thread titles visible...

And before anyone starts: no, that program isn't actually smart enough to detect spam It just randomly (as far as I've ever been able to tell) removes links all over the place...

Excellent. I turned off my Norton Internet Security (NIS 2004), and my Anti-Virus for good measure, and the titles are now showing. Had to refresh first though.

Only snag now is disabling both programmes while browsing this forum....

Anybody any idea what I have to chnge in NIS to have the best of both worlds? Should add I'm not a techie.

Thanks.
