    Solved Crashing computers?

    Post by DragonflySpirit November 26th 2011, 3:22 pm

    Well, I made a phpBB3 website using Forumotion, and I have been told that it crashes computers. So, is there anyway to stop this? ^^'

    http://orderofletholdus.forumotion.com/ <---Here is the link to my forum, by the way.

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section...

    who told you that? Doesn't make any sense .
    I've been running phpBB3 version via forumotion for almost 3 years without incident.
    Can't believe everything you hear.

    Some of the members who joined the forum, thanks for posting.
    Another thing is, whenever you are on a different program(Like Paint), the forum stops responding and refreshes.

    Hi,

    I'm going to break down your questions to answer them more clearly Smile

    Well, I made a phpBB3 website using Forumotion, and I have been told that it crashes computers. So, is there anyway to stop this?

    haven't heard of this to date? I'm almost certain this isn't possible, how exactly is this happening?
    IE: the user/s working with another program whilst having the browser in the background idling - or is it being used and it just crashes?

    Another thing is, whenever you are on a different program(Like Paint), the forum stops responding and refreshes.

    This sounds like a browser issue. Never has happened to me, nor even heard of it in 4 years Shocked
    Usually when the browser either crashes/stops responding it's due to another process on the users' computer/laptop causing a "Process Order" confusion; ie; program A has the same level of priority and needs to run at the same time as Program B, but B has the same order and wants to run at the same time. The CPU needs a few moments to correct this. Usually takes no less then 2 minutes to work out. This is unfortunately a common thing among Laptops, Windows PC's previous of XP SP3.
    Or if you like to rush processes' on a laptop like I do Very Happy

    Your board won't crash a system, but it will cause slower systems to grind to a halt. Get rid of your HUGE background image and use a smaller tiled image for the background instead...I bet the complaints will stop.

    @ DragonflySpirit,I'm Sorry, i interpreted your post as more a rumor you had heard, rather than an actual problem you and/or your members are experiencing.
    Some Images/files can cause this and apparently is the culprit in your case.

    Thank you all for posting~
    It has been fixed, basically, all I did was remove the skulls and had the chatbox be the pop-up kind. c:
