QUOTE(ghastley @ Nov 30 2016, 09:32 AM)  Copy/paste the exact error message here. "some file is missing" isn't quite as precise as we'd need.  Okay, I took a screen capture of it; I'll upload it once I get back into my Imgur account (which mysteriously logged itself out at the same time this issue started). QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 30 2016, 11:04 AM) QUOTE(ghastley @ Nov 30 2016, 04:49 PM) Windows, and the browsers, have a nasty habit of "upgrading" themselves without asking. Not on my puter. Disabled that nasty habit immediately  Ditto. QUOTE(ghastley @ Nov 30 2016, 10:49 AM) Forcing the system to reload everything fresh often eliminates a temporary corruption of active data. How deep a restart is needed varies. Sometimes restarting an application, sometimes rebooting the machine, and the unplug, plug back in is the final level before you're considering deleting and re-installing things. Windows, and the browsers, have a nasty habit of "upgrading" themselves without asking. Not all those changes work. At least Windows has a mechanism for rolling back a level, to where it worked before. I actually have been leaving it on for a few weeks, so I will try this and see if it works. On the "rolling back" - are you talking about a system restore on my computer (?) or a way to roll back the browser to the previous version?

I´ve rolled back to an earlier save point a couple of times with System Restore. One really good feature of Windows.

QUOTE(ghastley @ Nov 30 2016, 11:02 AM) My Win 7 Pro is currently having issues if I let Windows try and process the content of a zip file. That's not normally a problem, as I use 7zip file manager to look inside any compressed archive. However, when a file is downloaded, it tries to security scan it, and that can hang the system if it's in .zip or .rar format. The .7z files aren't an issue as it gives up trying to open them and look inside. Right now I have to download some things on my laptop (Win 10) and carry them over on a thumb drive. That fault suddenly appeared and I didn't track what Windows update introduced it. They don't update Win 7 as often as the current releases, which may be a good thing! Since IE is working, I doubt your problem is Windows, but the browsers update frequently as well. I just got Firefox updating itself to 50. I use 7Zip too, and did just yesterday (or actually the day before yesterday now) open a zip folder in my Oblivion folder; so may have triggered this issue then. Another thing that may have caused it is my son's gf brought over her Xbox One and my son changed the password on the WiFi. Ever since he did that, I can't get the WiFi to work on my laptop at all. It isn't even showing XFinity anymore as a secondary option. -------------------- |

I went to the Chrome site and followed all THEIR instructions on how to fix forum pages not opening properly:
Clean Cache, close other applications, restart, run the Malicious Software Removal Tool, etc. It is still doing it.  I hate Internet Explorer, and don't feel safe using it. (Malware). But at least I can still get on here with it. -------------------- |

Gahhh!!
Apparently I hadn´t disabled the automatic IE update thing and now it has messed up youtube for me. Can I revert back to the previous version somehow without using System Restore? -------------------- Lol bird

Okay, here is the screen capture of the way the forum pages are displaying and the error message I am getting.
And if it means anything at all, this site is the only one not coming up correctly on Google Chrome. From the forum main page I click on a thread I want to see/comment = which should bring me to any posts added since my last visit to that thread. Instead it keeps bringing me to the FIRST post of the thread and then just making a list of all following posts. (see First screen) They look like links; but if you click on them all you get is an error message (see second screen) http://imgur.com/a/CpRcf So I am completely unable to use the forums via Chrome now. I can use my PM box, but not the forums. I have to use Internet Explorer to access the forums here. This is not happening on any other site but Chorrol.

That's a familiar format, and I don't remember when the board software uses it. I seem to remember seeing it when I follow a search result that links here, and I don't have a cookie from signing on (because it's from a different browser than I usually use, for example).
I'd suggest clearing cookies, signing on fresh, and seeing if that reverts you to normal. Since cookies are specific to a site, they can affect just that one, if they're corrupted. -------------------- |

Cache cleaning = yes, I already cleaned all internet cookies, temp files, browser history, etc.; restarted several times (and unplugged for 5 minutes, then re-plugged up) = it is still doing it. But like you said, the only site with the problem is this one. TESAlliance; Nexus; even Haven = no issues. Wait, I haven't tried signing on fresh yet, I'll try that. (Not to mention that I ran the Malicious Software Removal Tool twice) Okay, I just signed out, restarted my PC, signed back in = still coming up the same, with the first post and that list of consecutive posts that lead to an error message. And by the way: That error message does say to contact the Administration as if it were a link, but pushing it is useless - it is not a working link.

Done a bit of poking around the forum, think I've found the problem.
You appear to have your display mode for the forum set to "outline". You want to hit options, just below the new topic button at the top of a thread, and set your display mode to "standard". That should straighten things out. This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: Dec 1 2016, 02:06 AM -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

That was exactly the problem! I didn't see this message, but another friend I was playing ESO with told me the same exact thing and walked me through fixing it - your instructions here are as clear as his walk through was! Awesome, thank you so much for finding the right answer !!! -------------------- |

I think that might be the board default, as I've seen it when following links here from a browser I don't normally use, and which wouldn't have a cookie for the site. Which would be why discarding cookies left it that way. However, I expected logging on fresh would re-establish your personal choice, and it doesn't.
So the "why it happened" is just that the cookie expired. This post has been edited by ghastley: Dec 1 2016, 08:52 PM -------------------- |

I fired up my IE and took a look at YouTube and tried both video Theater mode as well as full screen mode and so far it worked for me...Maybe try deleting your cookies in your history and see if that helps. -------------------- Live and let live.
