Thread: Something Odd going on... What is a BlueDragon.... anything like a Blue Horse?

I've had a couple of odd things happen this morning.

I couldn't open my 'Friends & Contacts' page, tried three times now, it just sits there with the page half drawn.

When I tried to go to my User CP I got this...

Thanks Cliff, will get Steven to look into it.

Both work fine now, first click.... dunno why.

I don't know if its related, but some weird things have happened today.

When I refeshed a post, under the usual user info on the left it also had "(Username) has a brilliant future", repeated about 10 times, except for Groggy where it had "Groggy has a brilliant reputieon" (sic)

I've also had the banners disappear on front page a few times and a "see last post" link come up and disappear...

Using Firefox.

That sounds like a page failed to finish loading.

Most likely.

A while back, during a forum upgrade, I got something about "apache" IIRC - maybe a temporary parking spot on the server.

I haven't seen the blather about "brilliant future" on the forum itself, but it sometimes comes up via Google search. It seems to be hidden embedded code in VBulletin, harvested by Google AFAICT.

Run your mouse over the reputation points Joe.

Certainly most, if not all, of the icons are missing this morning, only the text behind them is showing up on my screen

Well, as soon as I posted the above, it went back to normal!

Might have been page loading probs, was going on all afternoon but seems to have disappeared since, hopefully forever.

Thanks guys.

Aaah! Rightio, Ian. I'd forgotten about that one. Thanks for the "memory" upgrade.

Turns out it was start of bigger problems, upshot was new motherboard, power supply and reformat.
