Locking up
 

For one, I've been trying to get onto here for a long time. >_<
Everytime I do my computer locks up now. Ever since that front page change and such it's been doing that.
This was my third attempt to try and post this problem.

Internet browser, IE

I never had that problem before untill now. And it isn't my computer, as with every single other site I've tried works perfectly. This one just locks it up so I have to restart it.

Like now, I had to retype this three times.

What version of IE are you using? I believe Coda said there were issues with IE6, as he wasn't able to find a computer to test on it with.

I bieleve its the internet explorer >>; i use chrome and havent had any problems whatsoever.
Have u tired downloading a newer browser?

I have Firefox latest version and sometimes it does it by itself.
Log me out after like 5 minutes or something, but it doesn't happen all the time.

I need more information about the issue in order to track it down. What, more specifically, is happening? What, specifically, are you trying to do when it doesn't work? What page are you on? (A copy of the link would be great.) What version of Internet Explorer do you have? (Help -> About, be as specific as you can.)

As everyone else has said, any browser other than IE will do better on most of the Internet. Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari can all handle everything here without batting an eye. I try to keep IE behaving, but my computer's pretty fast so it doesn't have problems.

Edit: Getting logged out is a different issue; delete your cookies (only the ones for Trisphee if you know how to do that) and that'll clear up.

IE6 I believe I cannot say for sure, this is my father's computer.

~Fictions
It being my father's computer I can't have a new browser. >_<

~Coda
It started when I tried to make a trade with someone to see if it worked. Since then, go to the home page and I try to click on any link my computer will just stop working. >_< Then I have to either close everything and try again later, or the computer locks up completely and I start it again. There isn't much I can say more then that. >_<

~Logan
Father's computer, can't. >_<

@Zexion: Can you upgrade to a newer version of Internet Explorer? Still the same program, just the newer version is MUCH more stable than IE6. IE6 can't handle any avatar site I know xD

Well now THAT'S strange... I swear this worked when I coded it. *laugh* It's locking up my Internet Explorer too. This is gonna be tough to debug... *digs in*

:(

Seriously, not easy to debug.

It seems my alternatives are to have IE users stuck out of the shops, or have IE users deal with a less-attractive display. It's not TERRIBLE but it doesn't have the same "pop" that it used to have. *sigh*

I can at least fake the gradients in the tabs, which will help, but the drop shadows and rounded corners aren't going to survive.

Internet Explorer 9, hurry the heck up; I'm sick of dealing with your older brothers.

Because it works just fine in Safari, Konqueror, Flock, and Opera too. :P (And more, but those are the ones I know of for sure.) In fact the tweaks I just added to make IE look at least not quite so flat will also make Opera look as good as the other browsers.

because we don't want to exclude users who can't download FF or chrome or other browsers. if I'm using a computer that doesn't belong to me and I want to visit Trisphee, but the computer only has IE on it, I don't want to be locked out. >:C

Flock is a Firefox variant (it's actually fairly popular) and Konqueror is what Safari is based on. Opera's big enough to at least show up on the charts, and I don't have to TRY to support it for the most part because it doesn't suck. I could also list Arora (a browser I helped work on a little bit) but that's starting to get too obscure. :P

Anyway. Internet Explorer is hopefully behaving. It's not as shiny as it used to be but it's as good as I think I can make it for the time being.

We've tried other browsers, and they just didn't cut it.
And this computer works fine with other sites like Roliana, Crysandrea and Ernya. XD I wouldn't dare try gaia...gaia just lags...and is horrible to this poor computer.

It's working much better now. o.o

And my father is a 45 year old WoW addict...very picky on his internet. Since it's HIS computer he wants IE, and nothing else. >_< Shame...I'd like to have firefox.

@Coder
Thank you for looking into the problem and such.
o.o Sorry if it caused any trouble however.

Logan - I use Konquorer... and Chromium...
Konquorer is basically a manager that comes with K-Office. It can be used as a web browser and managing files. Yay for Linux. xD

As I mentioned in another thread, there's an IE plugin that will let IE use Chrome's renderer for pages that are set up to use it (and Trisphee is): http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/

For all those people saying they have one browser and not the other: You know, you could download Firefox and still have IE.

I currently have... three browsers on this computer. The family Desktop has four (including AOL, which my parents use). You don't really have to have one browser over the other. xD

yeah I had that problem too even if I was being active
but oh well I guess

I got firefox and I have saved my password and it never logs me out.

If you're having issues with getting logged out when you shouldn't, or staying logged in when you try to log out, you should clear your trisphee.com cookies.

would it be possible to write up a quick tutorial on how to clear the cookies for only one site? I know how to clear all my cookies, but not selectively the Trisphee ones.

In Safari on Mac, the "Show Cookies" command in the preferences has a search field. Just type "trisphee" in there. Firefox on Mac has a "Remove Individual Cookies" option in the Privacy section, also with a search field. In Opera, on Mac, Tools -> Advanced -> Cookies works that way as well. I assume there are equivalent functions in the Windows versions.

In Internet Explorer I don't believe there's any convenient way to do it short of opening the Temporary Internet Files folder (there's a button to pull this up in the settings window) and sifting through the entire list to find them.

I dunno what you did but I can use the shops now! Yay, thanks so much! 8D

I turned off a lot of the shiny graphical effects like rounded corners, gradient backgrounds, and drop shadows. (I replaced some of the gradients with images in IE so it wouldn't look TOO flat.)

Thanks! I actually use Chrome but I found a similar "show cookies" button that will let me clear just the Trisphee cookies. this is really helpful. =)

I don't have Chrome installed on my laptop so I couldn't look it up. :P

that's okay. Chrome had the same general option in the same general place, so it worked. =)

yeah, but there are those of us you CAN'T download anything else. low memory. and buying more memory is not all that simple either. some don't have the money.

for me, i had one browser for the longest. i had to delete Sims 2 just to get space for Firefox and even then, my computer still slows down. xD

but yeah, it would lock me out when i came on with IE. i'd go to the shops and it would lock up. i'd have to close the whole browser.

With no offense intended... it doesn't work that way.

Disk space and RAM are not related, and of the two it's RAM that affects how fast things run. Uninstalling programs won't make anything run any faster compared to simply not running that program -- in your case, Sims 2 won't be slowing down your computer when you're not playing Sims 2 (although because of Windows's memory management you may need to reboot afterward to get your full performance back).

I just downloaded Chrome and holy cow! Trisphee looks SO much better on it. xD

Tooooold you so. ;)

yay, another Chrome convert! :D
