"Cannot view message when I click on a post, get a blank page"


  

          

When I try to open a post and look at all the messages, I get a blank page. This is happening on a tablet, laptop, phone, and desktop so it is a profile problem. Have tried clearing cookies, using another account, can't seem to view unless I log out and view without logging in, then I can view messages in a post.

Bill

No problem here. Just tried looking at posts I had never read before, so they wouldn't be cached, and everything worked properly.

Try clearing your cache or temporary internet files.

Behind every good computer... is a jumble of wires 'n stuff.

Cleared cache, history, and cookies. Can only view messages if I log out.

OK, I have been able to duplicate the "blank message" when I click on a newly replied to message.

I did this by going into the computer forum and setting the "Expand topics" setting to Expand Topics. (Collapse topics will be displayed it the topic is expanded.)

To again view new replies I Clicked On Collapse so that it disappears and is replaced by Expand and then closed and re-opened my browser.

I also see that in Expanded mode while in the computer forum (where Expand/Collapse is selected), clicking on an original post displays the message and all replies but clicking on any of the reply messages displays a blank page.

Maybe this or something similar is causing your issue.

Jim.

Where did you find "expand topics"?
I couldn't find that option.

Found it, changed to "expand topics" and now I can view messages again.
Thanks.

The Forum script is very, very old. And, like a lot of very, very old things, can behave strangely at times.

Anyway, glad I could help.

Jim.
