I havea little idea, It probably won't work but I thought I might as well share it.

How about having a little picture of a WW2 AFV somewhere in the post reflecting that rogue's staus?
E.G- start at a Type 95 Ha-Go and end at the Maus or something like that.
I was thinking as we have a lot of empty space between the medals and the little bit of member info on the right hand side, so we could put it there.

I still like the idea of issuing hash marks for length of membership or partcipation.

I hope this is the right place to post. I just wanted to mention there are a lot of spyware bots like double-click and so on associated with the site, and loading times are pretty big. A lot of the time I can't load the bookmarked link at all, and have to first load a cached page and then link back to it to get into the site, which I'd say is probably in part some of that spyware.
Not sure if much can be done about it, but there are days where the site is simply inaccessible. My computer's not all that new, but it's not exactly pissy either, this is the only site I can't get an immediate load up on, including javascript sites.

Thats strange. Apart from an odd graphical glitch which I have shown to Otto, I have absolutely now issues accessing the site. *knock on wood*

About half the time I try to log in, all I get is a message saying DNS Error-server not found. Really annoying.

texson66 · #81 (**permalink**) June 16th, 2009, 07:23 PM

I often (at work) can't log in since the server cant be reached. Things are better at home with about 95% success in logging in.

I'm with Mussolini. Other than a glitch with some of the graphics, I have no problems with the site since the new server.

LRusso216 · #83 (**permalink**) June 16th, 2009, 09:58 PM

No problems here, either, since the new server went up.

Is that so?

I guess if there was "spyware" on this site, I should be one of the first to know, considering how regularly I visit the site. Perhaps the problem lies with your own "not all that new" PC?

I strongly invite you to post screen shots of these spybots you have "picked up on the site." Furthermore, I ask that you send reports to Norton, McAfee, AVG, Sophos, Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware or any other antivirus or anti-spyware company before you drop an accusation like this in this forum.

It's not spyware...................it's a..............(glancing around to make sure "He" is not around!)............it's a penguin...............and he's taking notes!!!

Same here. The computer police must have some input with it.

blacksnake · #87 (**permalink**) June 17th, 2009, 10:26 AM

Not had any problems since the new server went online ... until a couple of days ago. Logged on okay, all was well, then mid-post I hit the 'preview post' button and got kicked off the site ??? Got a page saying: "Data Base Encryption Error!" Never seen it before or since ???

I also have that problem on some days. On most days, though, everything's fine.

Vanir, its not wise of you to call a Admin (which is above a Moderator) 'immature' nor is it wise to claim that there is Spyware on these forums. I have been on these forums since their very incarnation (thats 9+ years) and have not once picked up spyware or malware of any sort from these forums. I suggest you update whatever anti-virus software you have and not visit other sites that are not as secure as this on. You would be the first and only person to claim such spyware comes from the WW2F.com

Thanks Ed for the uplifting comment. It is good to know that somehow I could be of help although the thread is way old.
