Intermittent computer issue on this forum
I have a desktop that has proven to be very reliable since I bought it. Because of all the harmful garbage on the internet, I installed a firewall, watch which sites I surf, and scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Avast Antivirus on a regular basis. Despite these measures, every once in a while I encounter a few things on this forum that have me concerned.
Issue A: When I'm reading a multi-page thread and I go to the next page and find that all the quote boxes are blank.
Issue B: When I'm reading a multi-page thread and I go to the next page and find that the quote boxes have nothing but randomly scattered letters in them.
I've found that the problem occasionally goes away when I back out of the forum and come back to it, but I'm still curious why this happens and why only on this board.
TIA for all helpful replies

System is just a little slow right now for me, which is unusual.
Otherwise, it's you and/or your system.
I get on here 4 or 5 times a day, spread out from about 8 AM to midnight, EVERY DAY. I do use Firefox with a couple of add-ons. No problems.
What you really need to do is to post about this problem in the HELP forum. That's what it's there for, and JT is very good at helping folks with problems. This forum has about 200,000+ members and if it was the forum, more people would be posting about it.

I stand corrected. But the notion that additional firewall protection besides the Windows in-box firewall should be installed external to the computer and on a network device is still relevant.

Browser and version?
Sounds more like a browswer issue than anything else.

Although adding security software on top, generally, provides protection it doesn't always come without a cost - either in performance issues or features broken.
I've not read any such issue as you described happening to another CorvetteForum member.
