Pages take ages to load, no icons / smilies

Since I got my modem / router working I dont see all the icons or smilies on this or other boards.

Also, when using invision boards it takes ages for pages to load if I want to reply / post or send PMs.

Anyone any idea what I need to change in the set up to get this working OK?

Thanks

I just pop in now and then.... :)

    Does your modem/router create a log of traffic?

    If it can it might be worth clearing the log and monitoring it during the forum reply action. It may give you an idea of something getting blocked...

    Very strange though....What browser are you using? Have you tried another to make sure its not software related.

    oooh, how would I know about the traffic log?

    I use the BT Yahoo browser, but I've also tried IE today and it does the same thing....

    I love your problems bridiej......they get stranger and stranger....

    Can you log into your router via the web interface?

    http://192.168.0.1 replace 192.168.0.1 with your router IP.

    Log in and look for something that looks like a log...it may even have an option to save a log to ur p.c hdd.

    Very Strange! I can see them all apart from the Martin one. Is just a outlined box with a red cross on left with 'Top MoneySaving' inside.

    If you click on 'more' do you see the other smilies?

    have you tried clearing the cache? sometimes that causes problems when it is too full
    in firefox its tools/options/privacy and click clear next to the cache.
    Afraid I dont know what it is in ie
  • May not be the problem (and I don't see how it is!), but have you checked in 'Quick Links' (see top bar of this thread), and then 'edit options'. There are check boxes to show sigs, avatars, and images. You need to ensure that these are all checked.
    I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

    For IE;

    'Tools'

    'Internet Options'

    'Delete Files'

    'ok'

    'ok' to exit options.

    Ok, cleared the temp internet files, run crapcleaner, run spyware prog (MS one) - still doing it.

    The only smilie I get is the Martin on - cant see any other smilies to the right, nor at the bottom (the ones you can put on the post title)

    Cant see icons for reply / edit / thanks.

    The board list looks a bit strange, it's like the post titles are slightly tabbed to the right and takes a few seconds to correct itself.

    Still having the problem on invision where it takes ages to load up pages if I want to reply to a thread or PM.

    This is very world of the strange............................... :confused:
