Strange goings on

[cheddatom]

The links at the top to take you to the different levels of the forum keep jumping around, as do the google ads. What's going on!?

I'm not doing anything!!

[cheddatom]

I should hope not!! (I thought someone else did the coding)

If I was the one playing with the 'coding' then you and I wouldn't be talking right now... the universe would have collapsed.

You are a wrotter!

[cheddatom]

Lol, MrsT how do you wremember these things!?!

It's really starting to piss me off now. (the tech problem, not MrsT's memory) I keep going to browse to the top level at the top left and the damn link's in the middle!

[MythSte]

What browser are you using and how long has it been happening?

(Disclaimer, None of that information is going to help you or me in the slightest, but its what people tend to ask when these things happen...)

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

have you tried turning it off & back on again?

[cheddatom]

I'm using FF 3.5.7 and it's been happening since Monday morning (I only come on at work).

[Sibob]

Have you tried replacing the battery?

Si

[cheddatom]

I turned off the fire fox, took out the battery, left it for 60 seconds, then replaced the battery and re-booted the fire fox. It's still doing it. I also tried with the big blue e and that does the same.

Genrally if electronic things don't work, i shout at them for a while and if that dosen't do anything i phone someone who knws what they're doing and get them to sort it out....

That's fiendishly cunning, I like your style.

What's the number for basschat tech support?

[ThomBassmonkey]

Try emptying your cache (I can't find the clear cache option in the new FF, but if you go to tools->options->privacy->settings you can set it so that it clears your cache every time you shut down FF, then just reboot FF and if you want, turn that option off).

That could help.

[cheddatom]

Nope. I should have included that in my "list of things the tech support operative MAKES you do".

Can you please un plug the power plug, and leave it un-plugged for 60 seconds sir
I've already re-set it!
Since I asked you to?
No!
Well I need you to un-plug it for 60 seconds now sir.
WHY!?!?!? WHY!?!?!?!

[cheddatom]

Allright, fine. Take my bass chat support ticket and shove it up your bin. I've got used to where the links are now.

[josh3184]

does it work if you press ctrl+F5? Reloads the page from server so similar to ThomBass's idea but a mite simpler

I used to work for a very well known home audio company (who I shall not name)
And we used to tell people to do this and when they argued we were told to tell them there was a microswitch inside where you plugged the cable in and this reset the processor.

Now am still not 100% but I took the stuff apart several times and never saw anything that could be called a switch.

Just in case anyone's actually interested, i've done a screen shot of the page. The titles are to the right of the ads, rather than being below and to the left. No amount of cache clearing, uninstalling and reinstalling, re-booting, downgrading, upgrading, getting the latest bullshit off the manufacturers, leaving the computer off for 60 thousand infinity hours, or kicking has fixed it.
