I didn't know where to post this so here it is. I have a hard time getting this site to pull up on my computer. I don't have the trouble with any other sites but this one. I will try to pull it up and it freezes and never comes up and I have to control/alt/delete and try again. Usually SEVERAL times. This time was about 10 times. Like I said I don't have that problem with any other sites so I don't know what's wrong. Any ideas?

Hi, kdkenn you might check your security settings in your browser for this site. Also you might post this in the support section of the boards. I haven't had the problem your experiencing so I can't add a definitive solution! Sorry

No other reports of any problems. Sure sounds like something on your end.

I know it's on my end cuz I don't have this problem at work. I just don't have it on any other sites on my computer at home either so I'm not sure what to do. I'm not the brightest at fixing things like this. Just thought maybe someone could help. I don't come on here as often as I would like because it's just a pain in the hiney.

I would start by clearing the cache:
Tools > Internet Options > General Tab: under Browsing History, click on "Delete..." then select at the minimum click on "Delete Files..." under Temporary Internet Files.

I have DSL I'm gonna try what Jbuck suggested. Crossing fingers. I would love to be on here more but get so frustrated. Once I'm on the site I don't have any problems.

Do you have a third-party personal (software) firewalls or "security suites" installed? Any pop-up blockers (Google toolbar, etc)? If so, try to bypass them temporarily to see if that makes a difference. Is this Windows XP? Vista? Home, Professional, etc.? |

Just my browser freezes. I just tried it 2 times and it popped right up. I'm hoping that it's fixed. We'll see! Fingers crossed. I've had this problem since I've found this site and that was over a month ago so I would be so happy if it's fixed!

Try closing all of your browser windows and any other programs (just to be safe). Right-click on the Interent Explorer icon and click "Properties" then clear the cache again. Temporarily disable NAV. Is this Norton AV only? Norton Internet Security (NAV plus Norton Personal Firewall and other goodies)? Norton 360? If so, disable as much of it as you can. Launch IE again and try to connect to CCF. I use Norton at home and have no problems, but Norton can be a little iffy at times, so I would not be surprised. How willing are you to give Firefox a try? |

Kdkenn,
Is your DSL through SBCglobal.net or associates by any chance? They have a way of "backlisting" a site address on "their" level and it doesn't show on your settings anyplace. I had similar trouble with them with email from this forum to my sbcglobal account. I had to eventually get a gmail address for the forum. Maybe they do the same to URLs. If you google the forum and jump from there, does it make any difference? Sometimes this fools the filter.
Jim
