Chris James Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 "Writing you with a problem. When I access Falling (Down) and go to a chapter it appears, remains for a few seconds and then disappears. Also happens with Exit Hollywood, Exit Stage Left, What A Peach. BUT no problem with other stories on the Dude. Help! Thanks, (name withheld)" I don't know what to tell him. Is this his browser? No one else has brought up this problem. He's a new reader so I hate to just ignore him. Quote Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 we need more info. reply to him and ask for his operating system and browser. that will give us some context to look for problems. Quote Link to comment
The Pecman Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Tell him to just use a different browser. All those stories work fine under Chrome. I bet this is an IE problem. Quote Link to comment
TalonRider Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Firefox appears to be okay, I checked a few chapters. I also checked my Nook HD which uses Chrome and found no problem. I checked the nook as there was no mention as to what he was using, a desktop, laptop, or other device. Quote Link to comment
Nick Deverill Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Ok in the browser that is the spawn of satan IE and Vista as well. Quote Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 is it possible that it's the colour combination? Maybe those stories use a combination of text colour and background colour that don't work on the reader's machine (back in the day if you had the colour depth of your video driver set to 16 colours or 256 colours, and you viewed a web page that used colours from a bigger palette, the driver would display the nearest equivalent, and that could in some cases result in black on black, white on white, or some shade of grey or a colour on the same shade of grey or colour. His symptom of the story coming up for a moment and then disappearing might be the software searching and then finding the colour to use? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
Chris James Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Update...he fixed it. Doesn't know how but now it works. The gods of the internet have been appeased. Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Probably picked up his cat and moved it off the keyboard. C Quote Link to comment
Chris James Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ya know, you could very well be right, Cole. I know little about the person in question and that includes his age. I almost asked him if his parents had a filter on his computer that would not allow him to contact anyone if the word gay turns up. But that would be insulting I suppose. I like the cat theory better. Quote Link to comment
