No Title 2003-06-23 Broken?
Comic appears to be missing. Also the next couple.

It's working here. Maybe you are having the same problem I have run into a couple of times during archive trawls. Eventually after viewing too many pages in a row the comic display starts to fail. Closing the browser and starting again where I left off fixed it. This may or may not be an Internet Explorer issue.

Working here, also.
If it's an IE problem, i'll never know.
I only keep IE for pages that are so irretrievably broken they only work in IE.

Showing up fine for me too. Not sure what the problem might be. I've had other folks have problems like that, shut their browser, then go back and all's there. Bookworm, do you have any ideas?
Re: No Title 2003-06-23 Broken?
It's probably a cache overload. Every time you load the page, it's checking to see if there's cached information locally, then allowing you to pull a copy (if there's no local one). Closing the browser flushes the active cache. The only way to sort of test it would be to go to another page, empty IE's cache manually, then go back to the page in question.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

I'm quick to blame IE since Windows XP is limited to outdated IE8. I guess I should start using Firefox as my primary browser since I'm running into more and more sites that refuse to load some piece of content at some point. Trying to use Chrome has just been a big pain in the @$$.

Opera was the first browser to have tabbed browsing and the "Speed Dial" function.

Re: No Title 2003-06-23 Broken?
This is my first post here using Firefox. The primary thing that was stopping me from switching before was not knowing how to customize the interface to how IE was set up but since that last post I learned of the wonders of about:config for tweaking things. It does make an immediate difference such as showing the small tiled border around the main page which is missing in IE8. Hopefully the rest will function properly as well.

Re: No Title 2003-06-23 Broken?
One problem with IE (and sometime Firefox) is the size of the cache. The IE cache will try to use all the free disk space it can, and eventually it starts to backlog the system cache, and things slow down dramatically as the disk drive I/O gets clogged.
The next time you IE browser starts slowing waaaay down, try this: Go into settings, find the Cache (likely set to automatic), and set it to somewhere around 250-300MB, then clear cache. If your browsing experience suddenly improves, you've found your culprit. Leave the cache size alone at this point. It shouldn't be a problem again unless you start streaming huge YouTube videos or something like that.
And make sure your cache is set to Clear on Exit/Closing. Makes life a lot easier. You probably don't need 30 days of History, either. One less brick to lift!
Happy bug hunting!

I'm not sure about this. I've seen the claim, but I was using tabbed browsing long before Firefox even existed. Not in Netscape Navigator, but the original Mozilla (When the browser was called Mozilla, not the 'project')Fairportfan wrote: Opera was the first browser to have tabbed browsing and the "Speed Dial" function.

Sadly can't do that on this machine. Should work from home tho. Close and reload worked.Atomic wrote:One problem with IE (and sometime Firefox) is the size of the cache.
