Archive of SportingNews.com's old SOM Baseball forum

Is anyone else having problems bringing up a players card when you click on their name? Mine will work fine for a bit, then it will bring up a blank box on the click, then it will kick me out of SOM and Sporting news altogether and take me back to my desktop where I have to reboot to access internet explorer. Sounds fun huh? Kind of hard to make and follow a team that way. Is it my computer problems or has anyone else experienced this?

Looks like u got a virus

I haven't had things as bad as you, Techscan, but's there's definitely something funky with the SOM website. It always says there is a problem loading the page. Sometimes I can't open a player's card while other certain programs are running. Sometimes things will just be working so slowly that I'll get frustrated and close Explorer and open it back up again, or the player's card won't load completely and I'll have to do the same. I don't usually have to re-start my computer or anything, but I definitely feel some of your pain.

Also, when I log in, it has a little "auto-login" or "remember me" or whatever button, and I always select that. However, it never remembers me once I close Explorer and open it back up again. Do I have to buy it candy and flowers to remember me or what? :roll:

Here's a possible solution: use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. You can get it for free at Mozilla.com.

I also remember having trouble getting TSN to remember me, and I wish I could remember how I got it to work. I think maybe I saved my bookmark to the page [i:7cb1d75b0d]after[/i:7cb1d75b0d] the sign-on page. (Do go ahead and check the remember me box on the initial page.) Let us know if that works. If not, maybe someone else can enlighten us.

I too use FireFox. And it works like a charm. But at the risk if sounding like a jerk; what in the heck is a ,"Puter"? It sounds like something from the inane seventies show, "The Dukes of Hazzard".

Firefox does seem to be working much better than IE. Thanks guys!

"Puter" is slang or friendly speak for "computer" for those of you with a limited imagination or no common sense <he said raising an eyebrow towards rmilter> :roll:

As for the other advice, many thanks. I will try firefox.

Thanks coyote303! Firefox did the trick. My blood pressure may now return to normal.... :D

Alright so I was being a bit of a smart ***, my bad.
