darrenvox Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I don't mean that I hate it I just mean that today I went there and it's showing up with images missing, and if all weird and stuff. I have cleared the history of the browser and closed and reopened it and still is coming up like this .... And I asked some friends if they were able to see it the same way but they said it worked fine for them... Here's a photo of what it currently looks like, don't blame you for this cause it's not your fault just don't know where to turn Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk WJA221, BFL0200, ASA2703 http://www.darrensfs9site.weebly.com http://darrensflightsimblog.blogspot.com/ https://discord.gg/6d5V7Qu << <<<fs9 discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Looks like scripts aren't running. If you use NoScript or similar make sure it's set to allow Flightsim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGhost Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I had this problem and this is what I did to correct it. Go into your settings and set the board skin to flightsim. My account-general settings-Miscellaneous Options-forum skin. I set the skin to flight sim and it cleared the problem up. Let me know if this works for you like it did me.

mrzippy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Scroll down to the very bottom of this or any flightsim.com page and click on the "Contact Us". That should send an email to Nels. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thanks for the tip. I had no idea that menu even existed. I had something very similar a little while ago wrong with the displaying of threads. Tried many changes in my browser, and my pc, but never found out what fixed it. (Almost felt as if it fixed itself.) That was the following thread. (just in case it would help someone later. For me the forum is fine again now.) https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?305369-Problems-with-formatting-on-every-quot-Forum-quot-page-(FSX-forum-for-example) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 3Green, the change on Flightsim.com was that it went over to https. Update your links/shortcuts in your browsers. Clear your cookies and cache. Those are the basic steps we all had to take at the time. Do it in all browsers. Then have a look at the link I gave below, quite a few things in there to try. Maybe also make sure also that your pc has SSL switched on. (In IE-11 in Options--InternetOptions--Advaned) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm experiencing no problems, pages load instantly. This is just a quick sample....Maybe Rick will see this also! I am on the "New Posts" page and clicked on PAH by peer01 and it just sat there for a couple of minutes displaying what I have arrows pointing to. The displays are correct but nothing much else happens. It will eventually go to the forum thread I clicked on. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

il88pp Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 As I said earlier I'm not really sure which of the thing I did eventually fixed it. At the moment, when I click a link on a page (or a shortcut in browser) I the page loads at a "normal speed". 2 or 3 seconds or so. In the 'tab' (at the top of that page), I do see the wheel keeps spinning for another 8 seconds or so, but the page is fully usable during that time. It's been like that since the end of the other thread. At the time I tried everything I could think of, so I have no other suggestions I'm afraid. Sorry.

rick Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Your end to end time doesn't look bad. I did notice sometimes you got 60+ milliseconds in an intermediate. This hop is Roger Communications in Canada. We have several people who have them as their ISP and are having problems. I have been personally trying to contact them to help resolve the problem. Also, the message "Request timed out" is only bad if nothing follows it. Many servers don't honor pings and traceroutes because it would cause too high a load. Here is the info for their customers: OrgName: Rogers Communications Canada Inc. OrgId: RCC-184 Address: 333 Bloor Street East 9th Floor City: Toronto StateProv: ON PostalCode: M4W 1G9 Country: CA RegDate: 2016-10-26 Updated: 2017-01-28 Ref: https://whois.arin.net/rest/org/RCC-184 OrgTechHandle: LEEEL11-ARIN OrgTechName: Lee, Elsa OrgTechPhone: +1-416-561-0126 OrgTechEmail: elsa.lee@rci.rogers.com OrgTechRef: https://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/LEEEL11-ARIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddawson Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Actually, my end to end time is terrible. I ran those tests with the timeout value set to 60 seconds, not 60 milliseconds. tracert takes 3 minutes to complete at that setting. If you're confident this is a Rogers problem, I will certainly take it up with them, but it is at the hop immediately preceeding flightsim.com. My gut feeling was that it was your host that has the bad router. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I've been reading for days about issues with speed on this site. I use TWC and Firefox and haven't had a problem in months. In fact this is one of the fastest sites I regularly use. I'm not trying to brag. I just think there must be other issues involved here than just this site. It works great for me! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddawson Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Rick, So I called Rogers. Twice. They're idiots. They are only willing to troubleshoot my cable modem, even though i explained that the same problem is occurring on my cell phone and work internet access point. 3 different Rogers access points, all with the same issue. I hope you can get through to them. They don't want to listen to their customers. LOL. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug You can set the timeout to whatever you want, but the pictures below show end to end of 14 or 15 milliseconds which is very good. It also suggests you are being throttled.

longbreak754 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Clearly there must be a problem with either your rig or ISP. I have not had any of the issues you are reporting, and it would seem nor has many others, based on the responses. Try something simple like resetting your modem - there are three types of reset; soft, hard and power. Google the differences to see what is best for you. WRT the isitdownnow website - clearly they have a problem with their diagnostics as clearly the website is up......... Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
