violakat03 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 While looking at the forums, my view suddenly got all messed up. Instead of sequential threaded views (all the posts go in sequential order and all are visible), I now have links at the bottom that I have to click on to get each reply. I'll take a screen shot of it if I can. I went into my settings but nothing has changed. I'm confused!! Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 It's happened to me before. The only remedy for me was to close the site, close the browser, reboot the computer, and begin anew. It usually happens after I foolishly read a post here I found on an external search engine, like Google... Quote
violakat03 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 It's happened to me before. The only remedy for me was to close the site, close the browser, reboot the computer, and begin anew. It usually happens after I foolishly read a post here I found on an external search engine, like Google... That's exactly what I did! Maybe that's what caused it. Here's what it looks like. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Yep, same here. I now no longer click on links to this site produced by an external search engine. Instead, I use search here...and never have the issue. It's quite frustrating, and probably caused by the external search engine. Quote
violakat03 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Well, I'm stuck with it until the video I'm uploading finishes. I wonder if there's a way to fix it without rebooting. Maybe one of the moderators knows a trick or a setting that can be changed. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Well, I'm stuck with it until the video I'm uploading finishes. I wonder if there's a way to fix it without rebooting. Maybe one of the moderators knows a trick or a setting that can be changed. You will see a little box that says "Options" with a down arrow beside it on that first visible post on your screen. It is located on the same line as the Subject Title for the current thread on the very right-hand side. Click it. A drop down menu appears. Look for "Display mode" and then select standard. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 It's over to the far right. I've never found that before. Thanks, Cory! Quote
violakat03 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Rebooting didn't fix it, but I came back on to see Cory's posts and that did indeed fix it. Thanks!!! Quote
kings_island~thrill is me! Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Same thing happened to me. Quote
RailRider Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Just happend to me, thanks for all the tips I got it straightend out. I was a little worried to start. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Happened when you clicked on a link in that Highlands article, didn't it? They'd used Google over there to put in our links. Thanks, again, Cory! It saved me a ton of trouble. Quote
RailRider Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Exactly when it happend and then I became worried that there was some god awful update. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 It happened to me the other day when I clicked that link in the Highlands article. Luckily I though to click the "Help" link on the right side of the blue bar at the top of the KIC pages. There I found the information about the "Options" drop box (which I had never noticed before either). Problem was solved in about 15 minutes... but I was getting very worried in those 15 minutes. I like me some "Standard Display Mode"! Quote
tigellinus Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I still have no idea what this is, how it's caused, and what all you guys are talking about?!? I've never had this problem and don't quite get it either?? Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 If you ever have it, you will IMMEDIATELY know. You cannot see any other posts but the one you are looking at, except a link for each one. It's a royal mess, unless you like it that way. Quote
Rollercoast19 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I still have no idea what this is, how it's caused, and what all you guys are talking about?!? I've never had this problem and don't quite get it either?? If you look at post #3, Violakat03 posted a picture of the threaded view all messed up. Quote
tigellinus Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 ^^Yeah, I saw that pic. However, it seems there is a certain chain of circumstances that may cause it (like doing a Google search via KIC??), which completely lost me... Quote
Rollercoast19 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Oh, I see what you mean. I assumed they were doing a google search then clicked on a link that linked back to the KIC forums. Quote
violakat03 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 That's what I did. I forget what I was searching for but I clicked on a link in Google that brought me back to the KIC forums and that's when it got messed up. Quote
