    That my pad quit opening the forum all the way.  I get header links and can open them, but just get a gray blank screen when I do.   New problem.   I tried restart, killing & recharging, wiping the cookies & history....  damnest thing.  If it does work, the only thread it'll open is the Bum of the Week.  No kidding.   Any ideas, oh computer savvy younguns???? 
    I find that a bigger hammer usually solves the problem.

    Once, I was trying to get the printer to work.
    For what ever reason, it wouldn't turn on. 
    I tried everything until I lost my patience and started pounding on it.
    My wife yells, that's not gonna help!!
    About that time, it beeped and turned on.
    I smiled and said, "Well, evidently it does."
    I was strangely satisfied.  :D

    Paul, I've had symptoms like that which were either server-side (CCOM) or network issues, not sure your tablet is to blame.

    Do you have problems with other sites?

    As long as it opens Bum of the Week, what's the problem?

    @Yakster,  other sites are working.  I do get an error message with all of them if there are multiple pictures or graphics.   Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get the site to open.  CCom works fine on my phone (android) and this just started last week....
    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    It may be that the page is trying to load which is normally followed by the style sheet, etc. and it sounds like it's just not fully loading. How is it at work or somewhere with a faster connection?

    @Trykflyr_1, try clearing your cache and cookies on the pad, does it look like you're seeing the desktop site or the mobile site on the pad? The mobile site should load faster. If this doesn't work, try another browser. Sometimes you can switch between desktop and mobile browser in your browser settings, this may help.

    Makes no difference where.  I've tried a few places.   I'll keep pluggin away at it.  I can still get the vherf to open and can post from the phone.    It's just bloody annoying.

    Ah yes, the old BFH interface. I've used that joke at work a million times. None more gratifying than the IT guy asking me what that is, like I actually knew something about computers, and i respond with "Big fxxking hammer!"

    I hate when some jack-a-ninny goes around and gets in front of me just to slow down and I have to go around them. And then slow down 😈

    If your barge wasn't so slow then maybe these jack-a-ninnys wouldn't pass you and kick the wake over your bow, lol because we all know you ain't talking about driving in WV, shoot the roads ain't wide enough for 2 mules to pass.

    Hey, let’s don’t be talking about flies. I have a pet fly that I just got recently and we’re just now getting acquainted. 

    He (it?) came to live with me about a week ago when I went out on my balcony for a cigar. He came in with me and we just seemed to hit it off right away. 

    He’s a friendly little guy - constantly wanting attention, walking up and down my arm. And he’s a great pet. 

    He feeds himself and I don’t even have to take him for walks. I just open my apartment door and he goes out to visit other folks in the building. 

    I thought he got lost the other day, but the next time I went out to smoke a cigar he came back in with me. I know it’s my pet fly because I recognize him. He looks just like he did when I last saw him so I know it’s him. 

    Anyway, you guys are making me nervous talking about flies so knock it off, would’ja?   😝

    That the Unbelievably Stubborn Postal Service claims they didn't damage a package in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.   To quote the head troglodyte: "We didn't do that."
