Problems reading PM's and Threads from ONE TRADER

Post by MagickalMemories »

So, hopefully Lin or someone with knowledge of the system can explain to me WTF is going on.

Stanislav is a GREAT TRADER. Both in reputation and personality. I, however, simply cannot communicate with him.

He had an ad in the 40K section.
I could NOT get it to open... Not at home or at work. It just locked my IE up.
I PMed him, told him the issue, and asked him to PM me a copy of the ad & he responded.
After a few tries, I got his PM to open, and read it, but it STILL locked up my IE.
I responded again...
I was able to open his next response fine.

We made a deal on some bits, and everything. Here's the deal, though:

NO PM that he's sent since then will open for me. It goes to the "gray" screen that pops up while the message is loading, but never leaves it.
Additionally, I just tried to open a thread by a DIFFERENT USER that Stanislav had responded to. It managed to open (after about 5 minutes... literally) and show me all the posts that had been made, but IE locked up and I couldn't get out of that window. I couldn't "back" out, I couldn't click a link to get out, I couldn't respond... Nothing.

I have never... EVER... experienced anything like that here.

Has anyone else encountered this with another - ANY other- user?
If so, how did you manage to gt it fixed.

You don't need to bother suggesting deleting cookies, cache, etc. I've tried all that.

Oh... and he can read my stuff just fine. Sadly enough we've had to communicate by having him type his MESSAGE to me in the subject line of his PM, which I can see fine. :roll:


Thanks.

Eric

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

I am using Firefox and having no problem with his posts.

But if i had to make a guess, i'd say it might due to his sig line. There's an image from a site that doesn't seem to exist right now (www.wmplayers.com). Maybe IE is locking up trying to deal with that for some reason. Perhaps you'll be able to read his messages if Stanislav takes that image out of his sig until the wmplayers.com site is working.
If that doesn't work, i have no idea.

Vesrian,
I removed it from my sig line. I forgot it was there.

MM- Got everything. Will be sent out Wednesday.

Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks for the info Ves. You may have been right.

Stanislav, I was able to get into TWO threads so far this morning that you've responded to without so much as a hiccup.

LOL I'll be checking those PM's later to see if I can read them, too.
Sounds good on the shipping. Thanks.
