Subject: Can't see other person's posts...

Written By: mrgazpacho on 01/06/03 at 11:54 p.m.

For some reason, I can't see Tarzan Boy's posts.

I realised this when FBvP replied to TB in the "Cultural Naming Differences" thread in PPP, but I couldn't find the original post!

I think this may have been going on for a week. How odd...

Tarzan Boy has a habit of deleting his posts…

Hi GazPacho

There's nothing wrong with your ability to see TB's posts, most of them don't last too long.

Unless I am seriously mistaken, but TB has never denied it to date, TB is the king of the Modify > Remove function.... ::)

This is why I always 'Reply with Quote', as too many times my posts end up looking silly (i.e. more silly than normal  ;)) because sooner or later (well, sooner) they end up having no reference to the post before....

And I'm here to tell ya, it hasn't only been happening for the last week !  ;D

As long as it's only Tarzan Boy's posts you can't see, I wouldn't worry at all. Someone is certainly going around deleting them purposely. ::)

I once asked TB directly, and he chose not to answer. :-X

Yeap, he does delete his own posts because I sure don't and neither does ChuckyG - Unless they're really naughty (which hardly ever happens ;)).  ;D 8)

it's because they're images.. and when there's more than a few different images on a page, the brwwser can only download a few at a time, and has to wait until the first couple have downloaded before downloading the rest. This can cause some browsers to display nothing until all the images display.. so if there's ten or twenty different images (plus all the avatars and sigs people tend to use) pages tend to take longer..
