I need your help

I'm using Mozilla Firefox, no problems here.

Firefox? The film with Clint Eastwood? Whassat got to do with piskie?

she's a fox and needs a fire extinguisher??

[Finedon.Dandy]

HW - give Piskie my love and tell her to hurry up, get it sorted and get her a$$ back on here pronto before we get a mutiny!

[shirlthegirl43]

I use Mozilla Firefox too without any troubles. There are slow times on the vine but usually someone else mentions things running slow when I am experiencing that

I'm using Firefox too without any problems. Don't worry Pisk old gal - we'll have you sorted in no time.

Don't give up on us all just yet Think of all that boring work you'll get done

Has anyone sent a message to Admin?
Strike that, I've done it.

When we switched over to Vista we did have a few problems which were to do with Firewall settings. Eventually we just turned off ALL the Windows security and relied on ZoneAlarm/AVG/Spyware Doctor. Then we found out that it was one of the Windows Updates that had caused all the problems and removed it (or maybe did a system restore back to an earlier point?) and had no probs after that.
Instead of me bombarding her with stuff too could you ask her Wayne, if she did any Updates after she installed Vista?

No disrespect meant Sarzwix, but I'm running Vista with all its (and MS Office's) updates...I'm sure its not a good idea not to have Vista completely updated, especially if its only the Vine that's causing a problem. This would suggest its their sites 'settings' rather than piskie's machine.

I too am running Vista (professional), and don't seem to be having any issues. I'm not very knowledgable about these things however.

piskie's going to give it another go in a bit.

Fingers crossed.

hold me feet - I'm here for a mo, no idea how long for and how much hair I'll have left before I get this nasty sorted.

I had set the FW to accept GYO as a Trusted site - no change
I had lowered all I could think of lowering (!) - no change

Some symptoms, I type a reply to a post - it takes eons to move on to accepting the post then it times out and all is lost and I have to start again I have resorted to copying all that I post in readiness for this blighter - but as I am spontaineous and swift I wanna come in, read, hit a reply and clear off

I am aware that it is me with the problem and not a problem with GYO - I'm just getting so grrrrrr with it

Thank you all for any thoughts, I will keep trying whatever is suggested

[HeyWayne]

Stay with us lass - you know we're worth it!

[shirlthegirl43]

Good luck with it Piskie, hope you get it sorted soon as you are much missed! Sorry I don't have any suggestions.

If its when you reply to stuff, out of interest...

in User CP/Settings & Options/Edit options - down at the bottom 'miscellaneous options' what is it set to - mine is on Enhanced and it can be a teeny bit slow, it was on standard by default I think?

[piskieinboots]

it isn't just on Reply Manda, it hangs on me entering the site, it hangs on pretty much all functions - what I am having to do is keep dropping out and then trying again ....eventually it lets me through but it is so darn trying

[smallblueplanet]

Check your settings anyway.

Have you tried using other browsers? Maybe try Safari?

Apple - Safari

[piskieinboots]

I haven't tried switching browsers yet no - I will give it a go, all other sites are fast/normal speed on standard IE, but clearly there is something in my new machine that doesn't like the Vine
