Problems accessing 'The period, 1924-1967'

someone emailed us too about this. maybe that was alf tho...

I had a problem where my last post looked bizarrely incorporated into the previous post. It's fixed now, though.

Could someone do something about that ridiculously long link on the Memes thread wreaking havoc with viewing? Just enclose it in "[url=[enter long url here]]The Meme Machine[/url]" or something.

treeofjudas; i think that was a quote that wasn't properly closed with a (/quote) - where () = [] - it's a bug that messes up the posts like that. an admin probably fixed it (might have been me)

Hi, rkn; to answer your questions:

1. The screen goes blank except for the libcom bar at the top, freezes, and then I get told that 'this programme isn't responding'
2. it's the same whether or not I'm logged in
3. I'm using Internet explorer
4. during the course of Wednesday evening, but I can't remember the exact time I first encountered it.

Lurch may have been the one who e-mailed: I sent a PM to Catch who referred me to rkn.

Good luck!

Seems to be working fine for me ... I suspect it was JosephK's awful attempt at humour that destroyed the thread

engaging with decadence theory is always a bad joke. i apologise

I am sticking to the theory of a curse by Revol

Alf, if Revol's curses actually worked we would be covered in sores, boils and cankers and waiting for a visit by Eliphaz, Bildad and Zohar

JosephK ... that joke about "camp proletarians" was a clear indication of the remorseless decline of culture symptomatic of a decadent society. Just try telling a joke like that in the 19th century!

to be fair, all jokes pale in comparison to decadence theory.

Zohar? The mystical book? Apparently my great-grandfather was a keen scholar of the Kabbalah. My grandfather, on arriving from the Ukraine, after doing various menial jobs, set himself up with a lino shop in the east end. He tried using his father to look after the shop, but the old man used to send customers away so his reading wouldn't be interrupted. I have clearly inherited his business acumen.

Anyway, rkn, you have done the trick, whether it was Revol's curse or Joseph's joke or something to do with computers. Thanks for that.
