Can't log in to this forum.....help please

[Dicky]

For some unknown reason my desktop pc running internet explorer will no longer log in and keeps timing out even if I try to enter one of the forums?

I'm using my iPad at the moment and can log in no prob's. only difference is the iPad is going via my wireless router and uses Safarie.

All help welcome

Try going to 370z-uk.net

Nope can't log in there either. It may be coincidence but it seems to have been like this since last week sometime when the site went down. Could this be a factor. I've been using it for years now with no probs and this is the only site I'm having prob,s with. Can't understand it.

Have you cleared your internet history and all that?

Download Firefox on your PC and try through that.

 

If it still doesn't work one of the admins will look into it further. If it does work, then IE is a piece of crap and you shoudl stick with FF

Shows how much I'm into technology these days I only discovered what Safari was after I bought my iPad last week. Now all of a sudden there's another one.

I'll certainly try it but would like to bottom out this IE prob first. By the way I've just tied Safari on my PC and it did the same thing. TROUBLES COME IN THREE's right

[Lexx]

But if you try FF and that works, then we know it's a problem with IE.

If it doesn't work, then it's possible it could be a forum issue.

 

Before we proceed further, we need to know which.

 

Though if Safari is havinbg issues on your PC too, then it's likely a PC problem.

[Dicky]

I'll try Firefox then and possibly Safarie again. Dont wait up though I'm no computer wiz

[Zugara]

Or safari on your pc

 

Or

 

Reset IE to defaults

As im bored I just logged onto the forum on my PC on Firefox, Chrome & IE 32bit & 64bit

 

So I think you need to sort out you IE

Your probably right but how does a body sort it out. What options are available on the pc or will it need to go to a pc eng to sort?

I'm busy trying to download FF so will give it a go when I've done

[spursmaddave]

See if FF works, if it does you will find it is much better than IE anyway, and Chrome is better still :wink:

 

I take it other sites are ok on IE, ones that you have to sign into I mean

[Dicky]

Well, downloaded Firefox and typed in www.350z-uk.com it went there just as it would with IE but when I log in it times out stating THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING. Tried it a couple of times and same message?

BUGGER

[Lexx]

As Dave asked above....can you log into other sites ok that require logins?

 

Oh, and obviously clear cookies, delete temp internet files, and run a virus scan

Yep

[Dicky]

Reset IE and tried that again but same problem. Downloaded FF and it craps out when logging in but gives THE CONNECTION WAS RESET and TRY AGAIN. Clicking try again works and logs me in.

Had another go but then it timed out trying to log out. Next time it logged me in and out without problems?

IE still timing out. FF seems to be working every time now ? WHAT THE HELL's going on.

I hate technology!

Scrub the FF working every time. It's now gone intermittent again. Seems like it sometimes needs more time to achieve its command. Thinking it might be my computer of Virgins broad band or security software. But then I can log into my emails and eBay etc without problem?

[Lexx]

Sounds like it's your PC rather than the forum.

 

That's about as much help as I can offer.

[Dicky]

Thanks lads for taking the time to help. Technology seems to have a way of knowing if your a computer clot or not and makes you pay big style if like me you fall into the former category.

Safari doing the same thing while logging in and times out stating SAFARI CAN'T OPEN THE PAGE " "

Young man!!! Oh my aching sides
