PM - no way in

[transsib]

Hi all,
this may have already come up in the past but I haven`t found any post. So please apologize if this is
a deja vu for you.
I have receeived a PM but I can`t get into the postbox no matter how often I click on the link.
This doesn`t always happen just occasionally.
Is this a problem on my side ( browser options ) or heavy load on the server?

Thanks

works for me okay.

that said, do you get any error messages?

what happens if you enter the URL directly? http://forums.gentoo.org/privmsg.php?folder=inbox

cheers

From within firefox I don`t get any error messages. I land on the Forum Index, that`s all.
The same happens from the URL directly.
Sometimes I can access the PM boxes ( last weekend ) but not this week; no rule to the
phenomenon.

tried dumping cookies and any caches (either browser and/or proxy if applicable)? that does sound odd though. can't say i've seen it happen.

Cookies get dumped on closing. Cache is low to empty. Squid is innocent because it works
when it works with squid running.
Hm... I just wait until I get access again. Thank you for caring.

do you log in and then browse the forums? perhaps try this... log out, then click on the link, which should (fingers crossed) give you a login page, and then take you directly to the inbox.

failing that, have you tried it in other locations (library/school/work/etc)? got any addons to firefox (perhaps a js blocker like noscript)? tried other browsers?

Hm, tried it with Opera; got entrance. How strange. Only with Seamonkey
and Firefox there is no way in. May be I should stop leaving the browsers
open on shutdown so that Firefox opens the tabs with the links I worked on
for the next session.
Never came across anything like this before.
Thanks for the advice.
