Sixties Sam Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I've been trying to post my latest build here for several days, and it doesn't work! I write it up, attach photos, hit "post", and it throws me back to the main "forums" page and my post is gone! I tried three times with the same result. Also, the "quote" button doesn't work when replying to posts. Anyone else having problems like this? Edit: apparently, this post worked. Maybe it's something with the photos?

slusher Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Have you tried down loading a different browser like Chrome or Firefox. I solved many of my problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I had the same problem a few weeks ago. It was annoying. I haven't tried to post any photos lately so I don't know if it is fixed or not. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpier Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 sounds like you're using Internet Explorer. do a search for "compatibility views". this is a frequent problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 You've probably reached your limit on attachments Sam. Time to get yourself a Photobucket (free) or Fotki (paid) account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Roger, I have 12mb of attachment space left. I also have a Flickr photo account with hundreds of pics in it, but they "upgraded" their site, and now you can't copy and paste the photo locations into this forum any more, so I use attachments. I deleted some of my old attachments here and tried to post again, but it still didn't work. The last model I posted here was a 57 Chevy in January, and everything worked then. ?????

Sixties Sam Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Casey, that's one of the photos I was trying to post. Was it from my Flickr site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes. I clicked on the bent arrow, then "BB Code", then chose the size I wanted, then copied and pasted the link here. I always pare down the link, eliminating the extra stuff fotki and flickr add at each end, leaving just the [img ] ...... [/img ] at both ends.

Sixties Sam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Casey, I tried your method and it worked! I wrote up the post, pasted in the photos, and they looked good. I hit "post topic" and......gone! It threw me back to the main forums page and didn't post my topic! I give up! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Which web browser are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Internet Explorer. The weird thing is that everything worked a month or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I haven't used IE for years now, and advise anyone I know, to avoid it like the plague. Go Firefox and don't look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Internet Explorer. The weird thing is that everything worked a month or so ago. That's the problem, shared by many others here. Click "Compatability View" in the browser's toolbar and see if that resolves your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 That's the problem, shared by many others here. Click "Compatability View" in the browser's toolbar and see if that resolves your issue. I clicked on compatibility view, and that made the "quote" button work, (thanks, Casey) but my new topic post still disappears when I hit "post topic". Crazy!

Casey Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Which version of IE are you running, Sam? IE11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yes, it's IE11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I would recommend you switch to Google Chrome. As far as I remember, clicking Compatibility View was the solution for most people using IE11, but maybe that no longer works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Casey, I finally got it to work! I attached one photo at a time, hitting "preview post" after each attachment. All went well until I attached the photo above that you copied, then it blew the post away. I tried it again without that photo and it worked! Apparently, there was something wrong with that particular photo that was causing the trouble. Weird! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My IE has stopped working. I get a popup message that says: "t8ExtEx.dII is missing." Anybody know what that means? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Absolutely no idea Danno, but I finally stumbled on how to retrieve my PMs this morning...after 2 years of owning this tablet! NO FOOLIN' !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 A search indicates that t8ExtEx.dll belongs to the FunWeb/MyWebSearch family of potentially unwanted programs. Go to Control Panel> Add or remove programs and uninstall any of these that are listed: Mywebsearch Bar Smiley Central My Way Speedbar Search Assistant Mywebsearch Fun Web Products Fun Web Products Easy Installer Weatherbug Companion On any version of Windows you can get to Run from [Windows logo key + r] Then type in iexplore.exe -extoff and hit Enter. That will open IE in no add-ons mode. Follow instructions at IEBlog Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx to disable and re-enable add-ons until he guilty add-on is found. With that said, I would suggest not using IE anymore, and use FireFox or Chrome, both are much better and safer web browsers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My IE has stopped working. I get a popup message that says: "t8ExtEx.dII is missing." Anybody know what that means? Yeah, it means join the rest of us in the 21st Century and dump that ridiculously bad IE browser and switch to a browser that actually works, like Firefox or Chrome.

Danno Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Jeeeeez, Harry; Jon. Dump on the old guy who asks the question. LOL. I have years worth of favorites stored in IE and Chrome blows the big one, IMHO. I've had no choice but to use it, but that doesn't mean I like it. So, if I'm forced into Chrome, how do I transfer IE favorites to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I go 100% with Harry .. I have a computer over 10 years old that have never even had IE started on them. Firefox, and I'm pretty sure Chrome, will import IE bookmarks into them. They give the option when installing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
