Is anyone else experiencing this message when trying to flip from CBUB Fights?

[DamagingRob]

What do you mean by "flip"? I'm having no problems checking out new comments on matches. But when you say "flip," are you referring to the "You've already voted on this match. Click here to go to next fight." option? I never use that, so I can't tell ya.

I'd need more information. Not sure what the problem is.

Well by "flip" I'm referring to the transfer screen with previous/next fight options. But the problem here seems to stem from going to this match. http://www.electricf...showtopic=25263

Is it just that match? 'Cause, yeah, I just clicked that link and got the error message.

I think so. Every other match is fine, if someone puts up a new one though we'll see.

[FoxFingers]

One of the moderators locked up that one for some reason.

It would kind of be better if they wouldn't do that to the CBUB and FPL Matches, though, since they are integrated with my webapps.

Which match is it? Can't tell from clicking the link, and I don't really want to try to cycle through every match that's up right now. The site has slowed down considerably for me since the update... I hope to maybe be getting a better operating system sometime in the near future.

Uh it's like Spawn and Pitt versus someone.

All right. I went through the four page list twice, and didn't see a Spawn and Pitt vs. someone match anywhere. My guess, is that it's hidden from normal members completely. And then, it's inaccessible for even Reviewers. So, there must have been something really bad in that match, that a Mod did not want anyone on the site to see. Don't know what it was, but I'll leave it at that, and mind my own business.

I am really sorry to hear that. I've tried tweaking some server settings, let me know if your performance improves.

Thanks. Doesn't really seem to be running any differently, though. Our computer is really old. It's a 2002 XP with only 384 MB Ram, and a 27 GB Hard Drive. I really don't do a whole lot with it.

I've been thinking of getting a laptop for a while now, but being unemployed it can take a while to save up the funds needed. Even the cheapest laptops I've seen in Walmart have 2GB of Ram, and 320 GB Hard Drives. So, I imagine I'd be able to do a lot more with it than this old thing. And then, it would be all mine also. No more sharing one compy with 3 other people.

Rob, It makes me sad to hear of the condition of your hardware.

I might suggest E-Bay (<-- link) where one can get a superior rig to your current machine for very little funds. I don't know if that is helpful, but just thought I would mention it.

It's a thought. I'm always a little leary when buying used goods, though. I haven't had very good luck with new gadgets. The last gaming system that didn't have any problems was probably my Gameboy Advance SP. The last one without any problems, that I hooked up to my TV, was my N64. Had to repurchase every single one of these: PS1, PS2, GameCube, 360 (Had a warranty on this one, thank God), PSP(No warranty on this one, so I still have yet to replace it...) My DS is the only newish system I own that hasn't bit the dust at least once.

DamagEdit: And yes, I bought every single one of those and their replacements new. Err... well, my parents did for my brother and I. But you get the point. The PSP I bought when I worked at Walmart as a cart pusher in *vulgarity*ing November-December. I'm really unhappy that that broke.

But yeah, seeing how well my electronic gizmo buying has gone lately, I'm probably gonna do the same thing I did with my 360, and insure it for an extra 2 years. Better than having to buy it at full price if it breaks.

Heh. Still my electronics history hasn't been much better. SNES destroyed due to my 5 year nature of chewing on things. GBC lost on an airplane coming back from New Orleans . Gamecube, crapped out from dust and food crumbs. PS2 refurbished by clearing out dust, but still imperfect.

Heh. Our first Gamecube had the dust issue too. We actually used an air hose to blow the dust out of it. That made the thing run great! And then it just completely stopped working not long after... The second one is broke now too. My brother runs Gamecube games in the Wii now.

Anywho, until I can get this laptop, I may have figured something out. I installed the Firefox browser after IE wouldn't let me on Cantr, and that was basically all I was using it for. Well, I tried it on a few other sites and now here, and while it's still not the fastest computer in the world, I'm seeing great improvement in running speed.
