All, a few people have contacted me about having browser problems while viewing this website. I do know of some problems caused by various ad blockers, and can’t do much about that, but if you have a problem not cause by an ad blocker please let us know and we’ll try to smooth things out. For testing, make sure you look at other WordPress blogs for comparison, rather than random websites. Thanks, Lou

    No problems here Lou…I use Firefox…and WordPress seems to be working for me.

    Opera 9.24 on WinXP – all good!

    Safari 3.1 on a Mac (Leopard OSX 10.5) with no problems; also seems to work fine with Firefox 2.0 on the same platform

    The site crashes Safari on OS X 10.3.9. OS X 10.5 seems to be fine. I encountered the problem on a computer I rarely use, so I’ll see if I can gather some more information for you about the problem.

    Do you have a list of the plugins you’re using? That may help us troubleshoot the problem.

    The only problem I have noticed is that the link to subscribe to the RSS feed doesn’t work. I use Firefox…

    Lou,

    I’ve had the same problem as Jason (above) Safari on OS X 10.3.9

  7. Lou March 31st, 2008 10:31 am

    Thanks guys! When I get back to the states we’ll look at this some more. I’ll get the list of plugins up as well. It’s only a half dozen or so. ‘best, Lou

    I get referred to a word press login page when I click the Politics of Powder link in the backcountry skiing news section. It was only that link so far. Using IE 6.0.29 on XP pro 5.1

    I also can’t seem to get your RSS feed to work which is a bummer as I rarely surf to web sites anymore. With so many great blogs and sites to read, RSS is a must.

    Some of you might have encountered recent problems browsing Wildsnow.com. Simple answer is we’ve got so much traffic the server gets overloaded on many weekday mornings. Server company says they’ve improved things. We’ll see Monday morning. Anyone care to feedback, please do it here. Thanks, Lou

    I’m finding lots of the links, background and add-ons are now just loading as a box with “copyrighted image link see http://www.wildsnow.com” written in them. Refreshing seems to sort it out. As I’m on the other side of the world (and hence browsing at off-peak times) I doubt it’s server traffic that’s the problem.

    Seems to be sorted since Sunday night (GMT +1).

Got something to say?
