Text not showing up on PHPBB forum posts

There are 2 forums I visit regularly that are powered by phpbb. They work completely fine, but when I click on a post to read it, the text shows for about one second, then the post's box extends and there is nothing in it. If you want to look at one of the forums and see if it does the same for you, look here: www.sims99.com/bbs. If anybody could help me fix this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Dumb me - you gave the first link in your first post. That's what I get for looking at my computer before my first pot of coffee for the day. ;-)>
I have tested the first forum in both Safari and Firefox. I am getting a php error message from the servers for the second forum.
For the sims99 forum, I am sometimes seeing what you are seeing using Safari. Sometimes I can read the posts and sometimes the text clears, the box expands down the page, and it remains empty. I cannot determine why one time I will get the blank, expanded post boxes and other times I will not. I will be able to read a topic, go back to it to see blank boxes, but then be able to read it, or not, on the third try. I can see no pattern.
Using Firefox, I am getting a more consistent pattern. I will click on a topic. The text will appear and then clear. I will momentarily see both horizontal and vertical scroll bars in each post box. These will then disappear and the text will come back.
This behavior is not generic to php boards but is caused by how this particular forum was set up. I have not seen this behavior in any other php - or other - forums.
All browsers on both Windows and the Mac cache pages on your computer to speed up surfing the web. Sometimes what is in the cache interferes with refreshing or using a page. To clear the cache in Safari, click on the Safari menu entry and choose "Empty Cache". However, in this particular case, clearing the cache had no effect.
For now, if this is a forum you want to use, it does work using Firefox, so you might want to download and try this browser. I find that it is a good idea to keep an alternate browser on hand for when Safari comes across a web site it chokes on. There are close to a dozen very good to excellent browsers available for OS X and Firefox is one of the best, but you will find other users who will give you excellent reasons why they think some of the others are the best. Even in the Windows world, you will find that not all web sites are well behaved in all browsers.
Two things you can do are to report this forum to Apple and to the forum's webmasters. To report the problem to Apple, go to the Safari menu and click on "Report Bugs to Apple" while you are on the forum. If you click on "More Options" you will be able to include the page source code and/or a screen shot. Give as much information as possible in the description. I cannot find webmaster or site contact info for the forum, but most of the announcements are posted by a user named Nova, you you might want to send a description of the problem to this user using the PM (Private Message) function.
Congratulations on getting a Mac. I think you will continue finding it an excellent experience. And these forums are an excellent place to learn things, either by specifically asking questions or just by scanning the various topics.

  • IWeb 08 : Album pages and Text not showing up anymore

    Hey guys,
    I work for a local television company and created a page for one of our shows. I have been publishing the website with no problems and then all of a sudden recently my albums pages are not showing the albums or pictures. Click here..
    http://www.askgodtv.com/AskGod_TV/Photos/Photos.html
    The pictures are on that page when I am editing in iWeb, but not when I publish or a folder or upload it to my website. Does anyone know why this would be or are having similar problems?
    Also, the text on one of my pages is all out of line when I publish, but perfectly correct on my page. This page is also not showing the album I have posted. Click here...
    http://www.askgodtv.com/AskGodTV/On_Set/OnSet.html
    I switched in the middle of making this website from iWeb 06 to iWeb 08, but I didn't have these problems at first, so I don't think it was the upgrade.
    I did do some things with the domain (copy, save to an outside hard drive, to try to transfer it to another computer) and the problems did start shortly after that. But I didn't really mess with the domain file on my computer, so it shouldn't have created a problem.
    Please fill me in ASAP if you have any insight because my boss is just as frustrated as I am!
    Thanks
    Laura

    Hi Laura,
    I get a "The page can not be found" message clicking on both links.
    You might try to republish/re-upload the whole page
    A. If publishing to .mac go to File=>Publish All. Or try to publish to a folder and open it from there to see if it works.
    B. If publishing to a folder: do they work when opening from the folder? If so reupload everything.
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • Scroll bars in phpBB forum posts

    I just posted a complaint on a phpBB forum about most posts being framed with scroll bars making it necessary to scroll down and across to read each post.
    After a bit of a debate it turns out that being the only Mac user and the only Safari user I am the only one experiencing this problem. It doesn't happen with Firefox.
    Is there any way of tweaking Safari to stop this happening.

    Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't make the slightest difference.
    Have a look for yourself:

  • Non-button text not showing up in menu

    Is it normal for text in a Blu-ray menu that is not a button to not show up in the menu once it is on a disc or disc image? This is the last issue I am having.
    I have some text on a menu that is just text. I have had plain text in the past work perfectly, but this time around Encore isn't rendering it. In the past though, my motion menu footage was in compliant m4v format, and this time it's mp4 so that Encore would transcode it. Using m4v was causing red frames to show up in the footage.
    Is there a way for me to fix this easily, either in Encore of Photoshop?

    I feel really slow...
    The only background in a multipage menu is the background in page 0.
    When you add anything to the page 1 or 2 groups, it can only be a button.
    So yes, the workaround to getting text that only shows on a single page is to put it in a button.
    You told us everything we needed in the original post, except, of course, that it was a multipage - but the symptom made that an easy guess. Sorry a little slow on getting there!

  • HELP! animated text not showing up in final render (after effects)

    I'm using position and motion blur for my animated text. I changed the font several times to see if there was any license issues and there isn't. I also put a static text layer in the file and then rendered, and THAT text will show up, but moving text refuses to show up. What can be the problem? Please help!

    We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
    Note, especially the request for screenshots of the relevant panels, such as the Timeline panel and Composition panel.

  • Text not showing up on various phones

    On the mobile site im working on the phone and fax in the footer is not showing up on iphones but its showing up on the androids. How do I fix this issue so it works for the iphones?

    Hi
    Sorry, it could be as simple as a CSS color: selector set to the same color as your background, but all problems and solutions are in your code
    We need to see ALL your files to solve your issue quickly and accurately without a lot of guessing and questions back-and-forth.
    To prevent others from seeing a page with errors, just rename a copy of your problem page  (such as "test.html")  and upload it to your server (with any associated files) in whatever folder the original page was located, and simply post a link in the Forum and tell us your problem.
    This saves you having to cut and paste miles of code into the Forum for the page and all the dependent CSS, JS etc. files.and saves us from having to recreate all your files, find your images and then repair your code and test the solution for you.
    I trust this is helpful.

  • Text not showing in PDF created for print

    After exporting an illustrator document I tred to make a high quality PDF for print but the text does not show in the PDF file.

    Impossible to know. You have not provided any info about your document, what font you used, what appearances on the text, what PDF settings, what system or even what version of AI plus how you review the document. From the font simply not being allowed to be embedded to specific appearances not rendering correctly to unsuitable PDF settings there could be anything at work here. You need to be much more specific.

  • Header text not showing up in browser

    My h2 text is not showing up in the browser (IE).  Also of concern is the bad formatting that appears when this page is opened in Chrome.  Any thoughts?
    http://moxiespeak.com/
    THANK YOU!

    Your CSS and JS links are all pointing to files on your hard drive.
    e.g.
    <link href="file:///C|/Users/christy/Documents/Moxie Speak 05 23 11/Moxie Speak Branding/Rejects/Final website/Original Template/site/css/reset.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    should read something like
    <link href="css/reset.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  • T42 (Type 2378) Rescue and Recovery text not showing up in GUI

    I have a machine that I hit the IBM button to restore my system back to its factory settings.  It loads up fine but when I hit the [Restore your system] it pulls up a new window and has 3 bullets I can select from, but there is NO text on the window.  Not even the < Back or Next > or Cancel button texts are showing up. I need to restore it but I don't know which bullet to select and if I select a random one, the next screen pulls up but still no text.  Any ideas?

    Thank you! I had to change my fast preview settings. I chose OpenGL Active instead of Wired Frame. Although, I'll have to play around with it because I got an error message last night that said it caused the program to crash.

  • Multiple Lines of Text not showing up

    Hi,
    Recently we have observed on a particular site in SharePoint farm that whenever we are adding list field of Multiline Text.
    It is not showing up in list forms (New, Display, Edit). Test is Multiple Lines of Text field. This is happening on all the existing as well as new lists.
    I searched for the issue but couldn't find any solution.
    Please guide me on this issue. Appreciate your help.
    Thanks,

    Hi Rahul,
    Per my understanding, the Multiple Line of Text column not showing up in all the form pages in one of your site.
    I suggest you do as follows to troubleshoot this issue in your environment:
    1. Is there any update or customization applied to this site recently?
    2. Please inspect the HTLM source code of the Multiple Line of Text field in NewForm page to see if there is corresponding HTML code in the page. In my page, the HTML
    code of the Multiple Line of Text field like this:
    3. If the HTML structure exists, then it is probably a CSS issue, please check if there is custom CSS style applied to this site which would conflict with the built-in
    style of the Multiple Line of Text field.
    Thanks

  • CD Text not showing up on burned cd's.

    When I burn a cd, the cd text is not showing up even though I have the include dc text option checked. Any suggestions?

    iTunes has an option to burn CD Text, but it does not have the ability to read CD Text. If the CD Text is burned on the CD, then any of the ripping tools listed in this article will be able to read the CD Text.
    If you don't have the time to look at that link here is a summary: almost all ripping tools except iTunes can read CD Text.

  • Incoming texts not showing on Bluetooth system

    My i-phone 5s  incoming messages are only randomly appearing via Bluetooth. Occasionally I receive one which displays in unread messages. When I move from unread to read it remains. Thereafter the text message disappears when I negotiate between unread/read. " No message using this filter " No historical record of any texts remain in the system Is there some incompatibility between Bluetooth and i-phone 5s set-up? My vehicle is a BMW F10. Thanks for help.

    I have now run the latest Bluetooth updates on the info system today. Still the same problems- texts either not appearing or disappearing after being opened up in unread messages but not showing in all texts. Also no sound notification for incoming messages.

  • Titles/text not showing up online

    Just created pages/album with the black background theme.
    the text/titles are NOT showing online.
    what gives? thanks.

    Could it be that the text is black and not showing up against the background. Click and drag the cursor over the page in the browser to see if the text shows up.
    In iWeb go to the Album page where the thumbnails are displayed click on one and do a Select All. Next click on the Font button at the bottom and in the Font pane click on the 3rd button from the left, the one with the green square. There you can set the color you want.
    This demo page has the first picture's text set to the background color so you can see the effect of dragging the cursor over it to see the hidden text.
