Is anyone else have a problem posting on EO,or is it my computer.When I go to put in a post or join in on one,I get kicked out and have to start all over,very annoying
computer probs
- Thread starter nightcreacher
- Start date
Seems to be working ok for me.
First thing I do when I have problems with these message boards is clear my browsers cache. It helps more times then not. Though I have never had an issue with getting kicked out while trying to post I would still try clearing the cache.

I did a quick system check. All web browsers are fine. We have not made any significant changes - so I think it maybe a "local" issue meaning your computer.
Do this....clean your cache, delete history and cookies. Reboot and that will take care of your bug..unless you have a virus or something more serious.

I've had the same problem Steve....never had it before the last week or so...it just started...
I've had no problem getting kicked off, but I've noticed some wait time in threads coming up lately. I've just attributed it to my connection, but...

OK several people are experiencing it so now it may be a update problem if your all running the same O/S and have automatic updates turn on.i assume it's XP becouse i have not had problems with Vista
I go to make a reply and type it all out and hit the send...and it stalls and times out....hit the back button and have to type it all over again....it happens no matter on my signal strength from anywhere.
Mines Vista....

what are you running on that laptop? vista or xp? ie or firefox or safari?
i had some probs with ie recently. it would operate at almost full slow when i opened a second window. thought it was related to this new worm but according to the ms website the worm is only on older versions of windows. i have switched to firefox and now the problem is gone in ff. it still exists in ie. according to ms cs there is no problem. uh, huh.

Thanx Jack I am going to use Firefox for this site for awhile and see if it's IE related...
It may be router related and might effect some users, but not all, depending on which route things take between EO and a given computer.
I can see an intermittent problem with a Telia hop, comes and goes.
rackspace-106764-ash-bb1.c.telia.net [213.248.88.118)
But it looks like there's a hiccup happening at the end of the line. Pings are iffy, too.

"for the regular layperson that translates into????
Someone probably needs to reboot a computer.
To that I can respond.....
DOH!!!

Downadup worm replicates itself at amazing speed! | TopNews United States
found this story about the new worm. there is a link for 32 bit vista computers available. mine is a 64 bit. maybe i need to dl it twice?
it analyzed a bunch of things but to clean everything up t will cost money.
nothings free.

You know how the news reports tend to be a little on the doom and gloom side, where everything is an OMG Breaking News Crisis!!! and how every weather system on the Weather Channel is over-hyped juuuust a tad, where it's never just cold anymore, it's bitterly cold, and there's never a snowstorm anymore, it's a severe winter storm? By and large, computer worms and viruses tend to be reported the same way, especially by computer security folks and the people who sell antivirus software. Shocking, I know, but it's true.
While the Conficker, Downadup, or whatever you want to call it, and other viruses and worms should not be dismissed or taken lightly, do keep in mind that, so far, this worm has done nothing whatsoever other than replicate itself. They know what the code is, how it works, and how it can be used, but so far whoever wrote it hasn't "unleashed" the wrath of the bot. All these compromised computers could be used in concert to attack something, or to self destruct, or whatever, all on a command from other infected computers. That's how worm bots work, they compromise the infected computers, allowing a hacker to gain control over your computer, or millions of them, and then do the damage. But so far, no commands have been sent, and removal of the worm is relatively easy, painless and free
Read this very carefully:
FAQ: How to protect your PC against the Downadup worm
Note that unpatched (from the October patch) Windows XP and Windows 2000 (and Windows Server 2003) computers are most vunerable, and Vista computers are much less vunerable, since the worm must know the user's login name and password to gain authenticared access to Vista machines. It does use a brute force method to try and obtain your login and password, but mainly it's from a list of common passwords and variations of them. The brute force attack is a way of getting into a computer that has been patched, but it won't brute force you over the Internet, but rather will try that if you are connected to a LAN (like a corporate or home network) where the server or another computer on the network is infected. Web surfing should not be a concern.
Other than the brute force attack of obtaining passwords, the other two ways the worm is spreads from machine to machine is when people insert an infected USB memory stick into another computer, and, it's primary method, it pings machines with malformed RPC (remote procedure call) packets in the hope of finding PCs not yet patched with the October update.
Once a machine is infected, is disables access to many security Web sites, as well as the automatic Windows Update. And you'll start getting a lot of random svchost errors, so it's pretty easy to know if you've been infected.
If you've been infected, and even if not, it's a good idea to check the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067 (KB958644) and run the October patch, anyway. There are patches for all operating systems, including Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, and the patches are free. Click your operating system link, which takes you to the download page, then click the download button.
If you haven't run a Windows Update since, like, September, and you think you're already infected, download and run the Malicious Software Removal Tool (which should have already been downloaded and run as part of a regular Windows Update) and then download the patch, or run Windows Update.
