The following page contains a list of previously experienced problems and what you can do to
solve them.
My post does not show up
If you use the browser's back button several times after posting a message, you are looking
at the page as it was before you posted the message. Clicking links from the Navigation Bar avoids this problem.
If you still have a problem, then your browser is pulling the document out of its cache instead
of reloading the document, and it keeps displaying the old version of the document. To avoid this, set your browser to verify documents every time upon loading as follows:
-
Netscape (version 3 and lower): Click on Options, then on Network Preferences, and then on the Cache tab. Next to "Verify Documents" select "Every Time." Then click on OK to exit the screen.
-
Netscape Communicator: Click on Edit, then on Preferences..., and then on the + icon next to "Advanced." Then click on Cache from the expanded tree. Under "Document in cache is compared to document on network," select "Every Time." Then click on OK to exit the screen.
-
Internet Explorer: Click on View, then on Options..., then on the Advanced tab, and then on the Settings... button under "Temporary Internet files." Under "Check for newer versions of stored pages," select "Every visit to the page." Then click on OK to exit the settings dialog box, and finally on OK to exit the options dialog box.
Alternatively, try reloading the frame or refreshing the frame using your browser's command. Note that this is different from reloading the document (see the next problem).
Images are not displayed properly
Because the discussion board supports image upload and clipart, images are
permitted on pages. If your browser has automatic loading of images turned
off, you will see boxes where images are supposed to be displayed.
To load the images, turn automatic image loading on, or click the
"Load Images" button on the Netscape toolbar. In Internet Explorer, image loading is controlled with the options, accessible from the "View" menu under "Options..."
If images still fail to load properly, contact a board moderator.
