I have a problem navigating these forums:
Most problems are with the game and game play, not to mention problems with player etiquett, but this is a problem with the forum and the funcionality of it:
I'm a big fan of cruising forums, but ever since I joined the WGT I've noticed that sometimes when I click a link to go "Back" or to a specific topic or thread, nothing happens. The page just sits there until I click the link a few times (sometimes once, sometimes six or seven times).
It never really bothered me as clicking again is easy enough, and knowing what I do about computers and networks it would be a very difficult problem to diagnose; however, in the last couple of months I've taken to just playing the game and perusing the forums on my BlackBerry Playbook.
The same 'non-responsive clicking' is occuring on my Playbook, except I'm getting an error message in response: the title bar says "Unknown Network Error" and the dialogue box on the screen has an exclamation mark in an upside down yield sign and says:
Unknown Network Error
Failure when receiving data from the peer
<Try again>
When I click press "Try again" it just refreshes with the same error screen maybe once or six or seven times until the page I'm trying to navigate to appears. Sometimes I get the "Unknown Network Error" page with no dialogue box, and when I press to refresh the page the dialogue box appears so I can continue to "Try Again".
It's a pain in the putter, but the kicker is, sometimes my Playbook browser will freeze, and the only way for the browser to recover is to reboot the Playbook.
You can't tell me the problem is on my end. My WinXP/Firefox and Playbook/BB Browser are suffering the same symptoms (but only the Playbook is actually telling me something). I participate in several different forums With both machines, and the WGT Forums is the only one that messes up.
I don't expect to be done about this, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed that sometimes they click their browser Back button and nothing happens unless they click again (and again and again.....)? If you browse the forums with a Playbook, do you see the same error messages? (With the playbook, I may be able to do thirty or so navigation actions before things act up.)
It's not a big deal, but to read the forums for 20 minutes each night requires me to reboot my Playbook a couple of times, which can be pretty inconvenient when you have two or three applications running at the time.
