Greetings Ben!
Thank you for your comments and enthusiasm![]("http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif")
I have to say that the forums are more or less working 100% - if I find a problem, I do my best to fix it, and usually do. The vast majority of problems originate from very old PC's and buggy browsers - notably Netscape and the Mac browsers. But I am sure people appreciate that I simply cannot work to the lowest common denominator. If we did that all the time, we would still be watching TV in black and white, and using MSDOS operating systems!
The objective is to offer the maximum level of features and service, for the maximum number of people, and I think that is what we have accomplished. For those that are having problems, all I can do is to apologise, and suggest that at the very least you use the latest version of your FREE browser software, and maybe consider a more modern PC as well. If people can't be bothered to upgrade their browsers, or use Internet Explorer, then there is really nothing I can do about that, and do not intend to try quite frankly. Running these forums takes many hours each day as it is of my time.
As for the polls - the poll should go away once you have answered it. You can always answer with a "Rather not say" if you do not want to put forward a vote - that is why I put that option in there. If the polls still do not go away, then it is a cookie problem at your end - they should go from the main pages once you have placed a vote.
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Adrian.

That must be why the poll was always there, I never answered the poll until today, now it's gone. Ben

Well it is great to have you back
As a matter of interest - was it the accessing forums via the main site that caused your problem as well?
With best regards,
Adrian.

For the last couple of weeks I couldn't post at all. But then I read your tip to someone that he should go directly to the forums and not go through the main page. And TAAADAA, I can post now, ahhh, sigh of relief. I had tried everything, deleting all cookies, setting my browser to accept all cookies from the astral pules, and nothing worked. As to complaints about the new forum, I don't like how the poll is on every page, but since I have a cable modem, the speed is no different. The number on the bottom normally says .12 and is always less than a second. Also, I'd suggest making the "New topic" and "reply to topic" buttons being there at all times so that if people are having cookie problems like I was they could still insert their stuff each time they posted. But now that I can post I don't care about anything else. Thank you so much for doing this out of the kindness of your heart. Ben
