Blue lines occasionally don't appear.

I'm using Chrome and sometimes the blue lines that seperate topics, as well as a lot of the other cool looking stuff while browsing the forums doesn't show (all that does is the text and the black background.) It most commonly happens when looking at the Hitchhiker's Guide to Fleet Operations board.

we are just working on a redo of the site, the issues should hopefully be fixed by then

Would maybe a cleanup of "Ancient Topics" help as well? I'd think that maybe the forum servers might be getting filled, so I thought that maybe topics earlier than beta 2 might need to be cleared out if not already done so.

Something I see in a lot of sites that use PHP script, both forums and chat sites (anything based of the erealms script) and exacerbated by bad connections timing out. IME it's not something that you can do much about short of looking at your own machine for anything that's gobbling up bandwidth or processor cycles (viruses, badly coded programs, too many internet connected applications like music players, multiple open browser tabs, instant messengers, etc)

I've had good luck with the free version of Advanced System Care from IOBit which has registry fixers, cache cleaners, and a decent memory manager program... but YMMV

I think they should just delete Dom's account so all his posts get's deleted. Then he can recreate an accout. Problem solved... Dom has like what now almost 20k posts? >_>;;

Problem Solved.

Same thing happens to me.
