Weird Problem

FattFishy — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:37:56 GMT

So I've been on FishChannel quite some time and during this time, a computer of mine that uses Internet Explorer 7 got a "problem" that whenever I clicked into Forums or any link to anything inside here, it said: Out of Memory at Line: 2 or Stack Overflow at Line: 2. I had to click "OK" each time it popped up and pops up around 3 times for each link I click.

I thought that was really odd because it never happened before so I switched to another computer that uses Internet Explorer 6... but then after around 3 months, the same problem happened again. It keeps on persisting and really slows down the time it takes to go from here to there.

Now I want to know what's going on because it's just way too inconvenient and I don't want it happening to the 3rd and final computer, the laptop. The laptop also uses Internet Explorer 6.

Can anyone fix this?

I cannot log in to the fishchannel account page

I am unable to log in to my registered account at fishchannel.com. when I enter my email address and my established password, I get the message that I am already registered to receive the news letter.

Problem logging in/posting threads.

Conner — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:37:29 GMT

I've been having a lot of trouble the last few days with the forum not letting me log in, or letting me log in but then when I try to post, claiming I'm NOT logged in, even though I am. Any idea what might be causing these problems?

Thanks, Conner

Hi all. I noticed that there have been advertisements telling about how you can put one of you avatar fish that you make and put it into your e-Aquarium. Hoe exactly do you do it? Thanks!!!

Problem with Link

math-only aquarium — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 17:55:54 GMT

To Whom it May Concern,

I tried to access my pinned topic, "Freshwater Stocking Guide: A Reference for Beginners," via the link under the pinned topics in the General freshwater section and it came up with an error. This problem has been occurring for greater than at least a month and I would appreciate if the link would be fixed when you have the time.

Thank You,

MOA

forum search not working right

Mindnova — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 06:12:37 GMT

First off I appreciate what your tech people do, I am the one in the family that gets called and growled at when something goes wrong.

The search limits are driving me nuts, it took forever to search for info. on insects as food and I gave up when I tried to switch to earthworms.

There is so much information buried in the forums, that will never see use.

Thank you for the work you are doing.

Is anyone else having trouble with the last question in the quiz

Mindnova — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:35:14 GMT

The correct answer is "Triggerfish get their name from the trigger-like feature of their dorsal fin, which can be clasped to keep it in an upright position." This is from this site search trigger fish. The quiz is indicating that this is wrong.

it's saying that the answer is "The curve of their teeth resembles a trigger" which is not true.

Change The Bottom Siggy???

Armand — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:28:05 GMT

How do you change your siggy, like at the bottom of msg?

No instant email notifications.

Gad — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 05:43:09 GMT

Someone told me this is a known issue, but to post it since it apparently hasn't been resolved. I'm not getting the instant email notifications for posts when I select it.

Also the forum search isn't working for me.

Thanks, Gad

Board acting up?

gem — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 08:03:51 GMT

Just curious if anyone is experiencing the same problem I am. I hit recent posts since my last visit and got "my search returned no results". Possible, I'm sure, but hard to believe. Then I hit it again and whalla....there it is. So, then there were two pages of new posts. I browsed through the first page and hit page 2 and again "your search returned no results". Odd glitch? Not feeding the forum enough coffee???? J/K

I'm new here....wanted to browse around today and check things out.....but thought maybe you might want to check on that in case it's a prob. I'll try back later today. I think this is a pretty great forum and it comes highly recommended by my friend, Brad (ILuvMyGoldBarb) BTW. Thanks.

repeated quizzes

bto83 — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 20:31:57 GMT

Not sure if this the right place to address this, but the quizzes in Fish eClub can be taken multiple times for points across weeks. That is to say, you could have taken quiz 4 for 250 points saturday night, and then again sunday morning for another 250. I don't want to exploit this if it's an "unintended feature" but if it's something the staff is OK with then I be stupid not to take advantage of it

Multiple Usernames on 1 IP?

ILuvMyGoldBarb — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 18:56:56 GMT

Just wondering if it is possible for a person to have multiple usernames on the main site with a different login for each one? It seems like this would be an easy way for people to add multiple votes during contests or for different profiles.

About the awards

alexis8775 — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 06:56:46 GMT

Hi my names alexis8775. I just wanted to know about the Topsetup and how to get the award . The only reason im asking is because i've notice that people that win Setup of the week end up getting also Top setup. They actually get both reward ribbons on their personal web page. Now the point i'm trying to make is that I won Setup of the week back in like i think middle to ending of May and i got the robbon for that. But i never ended up getting the Top setup ribbon. Thats two different ribbon. Just wanted to know thank you. Alex
