Default Gettin' Screwy Error Messages

I have been getting a WHITE page with "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" and a ton of other text. Then everything works okay.

Also getting "The Administrator has 'whatever' you cannot post more than once in 20 seconds", well, DUH, I haven't tried to post more than once in 20 seconds, so why is the Forum telling me that???

If anyone knows my history, it takes me a lot longer than 20 seconds to type up a post, I tend to be long-winded.

Anyone else having the same problems? Mine started a few days ago right about the same time that the other ERROR msg would appear when I, and many othjer folks, tried to post. I was told that was taken care of and I haven't had any more of THOSE msgs, but now I'm getting two different kinds.

Can you clarify for me the two messages you are still getting? Also, please tell me exactly what you were doing when you received them.

Thanks.

Thanks.
The most common one, which happens intermittently, is the "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" screen, which also contains a "link" saying something to the effect, "Let Windows Detect Your Internet Settings". This particular error message has a great deal of other text too.

This happens when, for example, I click on the link that accompanies an email response to a thread I've posted to. Step by step: I see the email response in my email "in box", click on it and read it. I then decide to either view the entire thread or respond to that email, so I click on the link which should take me directly to that thread on the Forum. I get the "This Page Cannot Be Displayed . . ."

I then use my saved Forum Bookmark to login, but, again occasionally, I get the "This Page Cannot Be Displayed . . ." screen. I continue to try and eventually am able to reach the Forum and login. I must then manually scroll down to find the actual thread I want to view/respond to in the first place.

Thinking it may be a problem with MY computer, I try going to other websites, yet I have no problem accessing them.

Occasionally, while logged-in to the Forum, I've gotten the "This Page Cannot . . ." screen after typing a response to a post and clicking on the "Submit Reply" button. I then use the back arrow to return to the response I'd typed. I click on the "Submit Reply" button again but this time I get the "Duplicate Response" message which has a "Proceed" button at the bottom. I then get redirected to the C4 Tech/Performance board and when I check to see if my response posted, I find that it HAS.

Yesterday, for the first time, I received the "Administrator . . . 20 seconds . . ." error screen. In that instance, I had typed a response and clicked on "Submit Reply" than instantly got the screen telling me "The Administrator has . . . 20 seconds . . ." I had not submitted any other post within minutes, much less within 20 seconds, nor had I inadvertently clicked on the "Submit" button more than once.

Hope this explains it better.
