Dicky Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 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.

DoogyRev Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Try going to 370z-uk.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Lexx Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'll try Firefox then and possibly Safarie again. Dont wait up though I'm no computer wiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 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!

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Sounds like it's your PC rather than the forum. That's about as much help as I can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 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.
