You open the main CF Forums page and can't scroll down through CTS, STS, Seville, Deville, Northstar Performance, Member Introductions, Site News ???????? Something's fishy.

Look up at the page top - is there a "Cadillac Owner's Group" underlined at the top left ?? That's the link to the whole enchilada.

What browser are you using? What's the page error you get?

If that is true, I apologize. I try to be responsive. I don't remember getting a pm from you, but it is likely I forwarded it to an admin.

One thing you have to realize is that if there is an issue with the forum itself, only an admin can take care of that. Mods (and supermods) can only deal with issues like posts needing to be modified, moving threads, dealing with problem members, etc.

In the case of this particular problem, there is only one person who can fix this issue, and that is Sal. And he has alot on his plate. He is still trying to solve the whole security token thing. And while I am no vbulletin expert, I have researched the issue; the only surefire way to solve it would be to uninstall EVERY SINGLE ADDON. Then reinstall them one at a time to see which one is causing the problem. That would take ALOT of time, and might not even yield a result. And surely would remove alot of nice features of this forum that we all take for granted.

Moral of the story; be patient everyone. Sal will get it worked out. Eventually.

jimmy...i am being very patient, i really am in no rush. i started this whole thread just to see how many people in the CTS forum was having this problem also, as you can see if you read thru this whole thread i cant actually get to this section to actually know that anybody else was having this problem...

txbest1980, Download and install the new version of Mozilla Firefox. Take a while to configure the browser to your likes and dislikes. When you start populating your History and Favorites (Mozilla Bookmarks) set the Tools/Options to either retain or delete your preferences when you close the browser. You may grow to like Firefox more than IE 7 or 8.

If you're currently running IE with a Norton/Symantec program for virus/spam you may find a lot of stuff is blocked unless you go into the Norton and remove some filters.

no worries, that is why I am telling you that many, many people are also having this problem. It seems there are some folks who still have their photo albums intact. Not sure why. But considering how few people actually use this feature, I dont think it is going to be possible to figure out who lost this feature, and why they did. It will just have to wait until Sal upgrades vbulletin itself.

JimmyH, A real quickie indicator of album problems is when you click on your album logo and no "Cover Page" picture shows in the window to the left of your album name. BUT, if you go to Photo Albums in the blue bar, find your album in the pages, click on it, everything works except your login (as in submariner409) does not show up in the link at the lower toolbar/tray: an album sequence number is there instead, so I assume that route is in fact a different link from the icon link in a member's avatar/login header.

this is what I get, and lot of other people are too

submariner409 · #26 (**permalink**) 11-08-09, 07:21 PM

Yep, that's it - one click past the "........a-albums........." in the link. If you click on a00783's Profile you get a reference to a member who joined many years back....Hmmmmmmmmm - can't get there now.

txbest1980 · #27 (**permalink**) 11-08-09, 09:44 PM

when you go into the member's list a00783 is not there....hhhmmmm

i will try the Firefox browser as well...

**JimmyH** · #28 (**permalink**) 11-08-09, 11:54 PM

Firefox is, overall, the fastest and most reliable browser I have used. Safari seems to render pages faster, but there is always a connection lag that annoys me.

txbest1980 · #29 (**permalink**) 11-10-09, 08:31 PM

i have been using firefox for a few days now, and i must say it is definitely something i have to get use too. is it just my computer or does ya'lls load the page then blinks right quick? i have never had my computer do this while using internet explorer and i need to know if this is normal or not.

Firefox does a "blinks right quick" as it checks the add-ons and picture URL's for malware and viruses.
