This is from your proxy.

How does performance of the forum feel to you?

Reading forum is fine, fast refresh, no problem at all except for posting anything more than a couple of lines.

It's your local web proxy that either has a communication problem with us or something else.

I'll follow up by PM (need to discuss you location etc)

Hi Cyrus, I sent you a couple of PM's. I guess the issue is resolved.

Please come back to me by PM or the email address I sent if you still face problems.

Doesn't look like it, just tried a longer post but it failed. I'll try later from home and see if it's just the work PC.
BTW, I don't get any kind of notification of a PM.

I PM'd you again, I appreciate it's probably a pain for you to post at the moment so I'll be on this evening and you can try from home.

Let's see now, couldn't even post short ones at work this afternoon. They're probably trying to get me to work harder.

Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb.

Yep, seems to work fine from home....

It's an odd proxy setting or behavior. Maybe you could find a site with legitimate business use and show it to your IT guys as an example. I'd guess this causes other problems.

Let me also take the opportunity of this thread to mention that I cannot correctly browse the forum either, let alone post using Firefox Mac and sometimes even FF Windows (everything works fine in Safari). I suspect it is due to one of the numerous add-ons I have installed, although I have not been able to pinpoint the one that is causing the problems, even after temporarily disabling a few potential troublemakers such as Adblock Plus, RefControl and Noscript.

Interestingly, I am not experiencing any problems with other vBulletin forums, including "the other one", which is currently down for maintenance.

This is not a critical matter that needs to be immediately looked into, since I can browse the forum in Safari (which is however not my default browser) but I thought I should mention that there definitely are some issues that prevent proper usage. Mr. Cyrus, you are not alone.

I'm replying to this using Firefox 3.0.5 with Adblock plus installed and active on OSX 10.5.6. I know others have no problems.

Can you either post here or PM me with exactly what problems you have browsing the forum in FF and what addons you have.

We don't have an extensive list of mods installed so I'm not sure what might cause problems.
