Why is it that there are occasionally some threads that I can't read? The latest one is Gazza's "Auxillary Spring assistors - Grayston Vs MAD". When I call up the thread I just get a blank and none of the replies show up, either.

I'm not sure what's happening there Lutz, I can see 5 replies and they appear on the database as normal which means that they have been posted ok.

Yes, I can read the full thread on my wife's computer, but not on mine. Funnily enough, this is only the second or third case where it has happened. All the others are readable without a problem.

I have got the same problem, shows on my other laptop but not on this one. It has happened several times over the last month or so.

Even changing to another browser hasn't helped.

I have a suspicion that Gazza's original post may have contained a virus of some sort and my firewall is therefore suppressing the thread from showing up. The reason why I think that is the case is because, for a split second, the computer registered a link that immediately disppeared again.

Austin the web guru checked the topic and says that it doesn't contain any virus but it was originally written on Word, Open Office or some other Microsoft product and then pasted in to the comment box afterwards.

I don't know why some topics can't be read by some computers Colin, the remainder of a thread is dependent on the first topic though.

Austin the web technician just reported back that there are no viruses after checking it out.

The only thing that I can suggest would be to click on 'Disable rich-text' on the o.p. for topics that are not visible to see if that helps.

Strange. I can now read all replies up to when Gazza has written his second contribution to the thread.
