guys & gals -- there are only a handfull (ok less than 5) of you that seem to be having problems.

first of all, i will tell you that most of us don't use a software firewall but a hardware firewall, and have no issues.

FWIW, windows/mcaffee/norton (the worst offender IMHO) just prevent us from doing a lot of programming, etc., and do not offer any real protection over a hardware (router) firewall.

that IE error

from vbulletin.org:

Hi, I am unable to click on smileys or any other WYSIWYG features when replying to post, and clicking on the quick reply feature will return me an error in IE, such as 'vbphrase' undefined, 'AJAX_Compatible' undefined, 'vB_Editor' undefined etc

Response:

Your browser has cached the files, please use ctrl+f5 on the page to refresh and clear the cache.

I think you have have to clear your browser and your cookies, and that should clear it up (as far as the editor, etc)..


Other than that, I cannot fix anything that I cannot reproduce, nor identify. The issues with page loading, etc., appear to be DNS related, and the DNS server (our DNS server) is green with no errors reported...

I'm still asking around for help! Bear with us!

thanks
