    Why Can't I
    Ever read the "What is spinning" thread? Every time I click on it, I just get a blank page and the browser says "done'. It's been this way for months. I've PM'd the Mods, but they didn't even bother to respond. I've tried it with both Firefox and IE - same result. I've cleared cache, cookies, history, and no dice. I can view every thread in this RR forum except for that one.

    That's one thread I'd post in regularly IF I could figure out how to view it.

    Any suggestions?

    I have that problem all the time here, with all kinds of threads. I just keep hitting refresh until the page finally comes up. It's very frustrating. I've never bothered paying attention to see whether it happens more frequently on longer threads but now that you're mentioning it, perhaps it has to do with the time it takes to load a long thread? Just thinking out loud.

    You may be right FA. In another forum I used to participate in, topics would get cut off at 100 posts and the mods would continue it as a new thread.

    Apparently some people left this site when AR changed to vBulletin s/w. I've had problems too but not like the one JDaniel describes. This site is also the first one I've been registered at where the mods spend more time chasing spammers away than answering people's e-mails.

    I've had exactly that probem of late.

    One of the downsides of AR is that, while access is free, we get a lot of advertizing which lots first, no doubt to humor the sponors.

    And yeah, this place is kind of a mess, always has been, and they don't seem to care much, but no problem for me with that thread, although I don't check it except on rare occasions, and I use firefox and block the extra stuff I don't want to see.

    Right now it is an excellent new band find that I recently heard on a local radio interview here, and who played here over the weekend: Whiskey Falls.

    Check em out here: http://www.whiskeyfallsmusic.com/

    These guys are Country Rockers who have played with such diverse bands as Alice Cooper, Matthew Sweet, and one of the guys is the former front man for Brother Cane. Excellent harmonies. Reminds me a bit of early Poco.

    I have heard of this band, I think on the cable, though I can't remember the song. Cool name, kinda like my own tagline....drinks whiskey, then falls.
