Forums not refreshing properly

[neoobs]

I notice that the forums don't load after I post... and that it doesn't update my thread views like normal... for instance it tells me a thread is new even though I have already seen it.

Anything change in the past couple weeks?

I get this sometimes. To Fix it:

Log out and clear all your cookies (even though log out tell's you they are all cleared). If you using Firefox 3, click the Icon to the left of the address bar, the click More Information, Security Tab, View Cookies, and remove any remaining.

Somethings have changed, but this problem occured before and after the changes for me. :)

I sometimes get this. Often hitting refresh seems to fix the problem.

I'm getting the message on my Treo, something along the lines: 'a script causing device slow may become unresponsive'

Thanks for all your help guys:)

Hrm, big bump in the road:

the thing causing the quick reply function not to work properly is a google ad. I removed it because I thought that it was an old, incorrectly working ad on the wrong location. But it turns out it's our ad hack that supplies us with 2/3's of our monthly income.

Now let me get this very straight: we are not in this to get rich, the current ad income is enough to keep xda-dev running but losing 2/3 to gain a correctly working quick reply function, will get us into serious money problems very soon.

So the only thing I can do at the moment is break the quick reply function and enable the ads, whilst searching feverishly for a better solution.
I'm well aware of vbulletin.org so I will be searching my ass of there, and try every possible solution they have, but untill the time comes where I've found a working ad solution, I hope you can all avoid the quick reply function.

I'm very sorry to have to make decision, but I hope you can all see that this the lesser of 2 problems.

Best regards,

Flar
