Trouble navigating TFL

deanf · January 10, 2001, 02:17 AM

Tonight I'm having some trouble with TFL. I click on the links to some threads, and the screen just goes blank. The html associated with this blank screen is:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

This has also happened when using the drop down menu Show Threads From:<number of days>

I hit refresh, and the proper page appears.

Not all threads or links, just some.

I was/am getting excellent response at the same time you were/are apparently getting poor response. I don't believe it is TFL but most likely your ISP or perhaps an internet latency problem in your area causing a timeout situation and therefore the blank screen you're getting.

I don't think it's a time-out situation. The blank screen is instantaneous.

I'm using some kind of high speed connection here at work. Not exactly sure the speed or parameters, but it's about as fast as my cable service at home.

Not a TFL problem. Ebay is doing it also.
