Hi all,
For the past week or two (beginning, perhaps, at the time the server was changed) the analyze board (by the way, shouldn't that be analysis board?) has been behaving badly - slow to draw itself, failing to load piece images correctly, and generally being lazy and unresponsive. Has this been happening to any of the rest of you? It seems better on my machine at home, but here on my machine at work (where I am at this very moment supposed to be writing code instead of playing chess) it is hardly working at all, though other websites are behaving just fine. Any thoughts?

today the images in the alaylse board (or board analysis) were not loaded twice or - to be more correct - they disapeared when changing the move in the move list.
I had this twice, but meanwhile it woks very well again!

I click on "analyse baord", the window opens and when it finished loading and I even wait a bit and then log off from the internet and try to contunue my analysis it does not work anymore (the pieces disappear and become squares with Xs ...)
any idea? any help? any... anything

so there are cookies on the server as well? 🙄
or do I just have to delete all my RHP-cookies to get everything running again?

I have seen this before.
I'm not sure why a browser should start struggling with that page, nothing too laborious is going on. It is a glitch in the browser - I just don't know what triggers it. Luckily it appears to be rare.
Does the machine that is behaving badly ever get rebooted? Do you have another browser installed with which to try the same page? (I have only seen this on IE before.) Have you tried clearing down temporary internet files from the browser?

Hi Russ,
I have tried clearing the browser cache, and the machine gets rebooted once every day or two. It's very strange - it used to work fine... I expect the problem has to do with that particular machine somehow, but I can't think of what it might be. I'll try it with a different browser - Ive been using IE, but maybe it will work better with Netscape.
