When I click on the next, previous, or index links in the General Discussion Forum or ES&S I end up in never land with a blank photo page or a page of blank thumbnails. This is in Firefox. and IE 7. I don't

Here's a link to the page I get when clicking on Next in ES&S
http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/ic.cgi?a=np&b=vg2&ph=14&st=0&la=1039&sid=18715&u=18742

I don't see anyone else reporting this so I assume it's unique to me but it doesn't seem to be browser based.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

I'm getting the same problem. Also using Firefox. I've never noticed it before because I don't usually click on the next link.

Nick,

I tried you link out.I tried next topic and previous target. It brought back up the same topic. However, when I clicked on the return to index, I was returned to the index with no items listed. Using the drop down menu in the upper right, I was able to get to the index. I don't notice this as I usually don't use these features. To get back to the index, I simply hit the back arrow on the browser. I am u4sing Firefox 2.0.0.7.

This has been going on now off and on for over a week. I e-mailed Jim earlier today and he is aware of the current problem. Nothing works for me in the gray navigation bar with IE7 or Firefox.

I've come across the very same glitch at random and separate times over the last year, but it usually happens only once before continuing to work normally. All day today, the gray navigation bars have not worked properly a single time. I'm using firefox.

Firefox and ditto here... off and on for about 10 days. If I use the non-closing index to go back... all is fine! :confused:

Sorry for the trouble - we hope to have this resolved on Monday when Dave returns.

Thanks for your patience!

Update - it looks like Dave has addressed the issue. Be aware that this bug may reappear as I'm not sure we have identitifed the source of the problem yet.

Thanks, Jim! Using Firefox, I've had the same problem in the image galleries when going to the next page of thumbnails at random times...blank thumbs.

I have experienced the same problem and for some unknown reason it happens late in the evening. :confused: As if NPN is saying "time for bed" :rolleyes:

I know the problem will be resolved :smile:
