The problem is with Pro. I just tried IE6 on my quasi-roommate's laptop running XP Pro and I experienced the same problem.

Edit: That is to say that I corroborate, not to make it seem like my computer genius developed this idea on its own.

Thats What I figured.

Hey, I just lost CD all together for about 10 minutes, indianafirst.org also lost contact with the forums. Nothing was working, ne1 else see this? Brandon or someone else might be fixing the bug.

I lost it for a while too. The only pictures I see missing now are on the portal. Also, slashdot came back just a little bit after the first word it was down.

I think you are reffering to the "12:47am bug"..... every morning around this time it does that..... not sure why, probably something to do with backups on the server or something...

I am still not getting portal pics, and galley pics, or button pics on post. I did have the segway pic, but I just lost that also.

-Greg The Great

It may have been, in the confusion of all this online mayham and me reading through books and html scripting and stuff like that I forgot about that.

-Greg The Great

Umm, I had buttons then I didn't. Never had the gallery pics. I had profile pics for a while but they seem gone now too.

Yay, If you log off and close IE out then reopen you only have portal pics gone. Thanks to Brandon or whomever fixed the bug.

-Greg The Great

1 Minute Later: Pics gone again, this is getting even more confusing and annoying. Ne1 know what to make of this, my brain is just about picked clean of possible problems.

5 Minutes Later: I have nothing now, all I have is the unsung FIRST pic.

15 Minutes Later: Now nothing at all, not even the unsung pic.

There has also been a recent increase in the occurrences of "invalid" (bad users, porn, etc) that have registered for the site. Probably just a coincidence.

:confused:

Coincidence, maybe, or maybe one of "bad" registee (if that is a word) has a hacking issue. lol.

-Greg The Great

I don't know if anyone has really fixed anything. This "bug" is really quirky and it is doing some wierd stuff. Most of the problems have been on and off. It does seem better now than in the beginning though.

I am thinking that someone hacked CD's server then threw a make-shift "virus" onto the server, and it somehow is overriding an internet setting for pictures, tht might explain why it only happens on XP pro and with IE 6. I am trying to figure out how to explain its "wierd" behavior, maybe poor programming. I hope CD finds out who did this, if indeed it was done with intent to harm, which I would say is an almost certainity.

-Greg The Great

I dunno what's up.

Silly internet.

I have the same problem but I am using XP home. Is it an IE 6 problem then?
Eric

Some of you people are saying that it's XP Pro.... I would not rule out XP Home cuz it's what i'm running and i'm having the same errors as you people w/ XP Pro.

I would say that it is either a IE 6 worm (since some w/ IE6 are having probs and some arent) or a hacker (which is possible but its weird that Brandon hasn't addressed the issue and it only affects IE)
