Can't access my profile

[UNCIVILIZED]

Gent's, I hope that this is the right place for this. If not, I'd kindly appreciate a mod moving it to where it belongs best.

On to the problem. It seems, for some bizarre reason, that I can't access my own profile to view it. I've tried to do so in as many ways as I can think up, & still no dice.
The super odd part is that the system will let me get to the page where I can modify my profile. And I can look up what comments I've made, etcetera, etcetera.

As to the cause of this weirdness, I have less than zero idea. Though I'd surely appreciate someone telling me what I might do to fix it, & or where to go to dig up the info to fix this oddity.
One other item, & I've no idea if it's related to the above delineated situation, but the website seems to be running REAL slowly for me, for say the past 24-36hrs.

Thanks in advance

Re: Can't access my profile

In the post above, to the left of the post is your name, when you click on your name you get a drop down box and one of the choices is "View Profile".

Do you see the drop down menu when you click on your name to the left?

Is "View Profile" an option that appears?

What happens when you click on it?

Jason,
I understand you are a mod, though not in masculine green, but sissy blue, but a mod none the less.

Don't you click on "my stuff" when logged on, hit edit profile, to do what he is asking?

Re: Can't access my profile

There was a pretty serious hack attempt on Thursday and they boosted the security a bit to keep it from crashing the site.

They were battling it on several fronts so you may see some slow down depending where you are ?

it should not effect the ability to access anything and the mere fact you made a post, means the features are more than likely working. This is not such a robust system that things are segmented in a way that one part works and another part does not unless it is something like your browser just not be compatible with a feature.

But it's more than likely slow due to the extra security

Well, hopefully the wankers tampering with the site will get what they got coming & then some.

I'll try the "broken" features again a few days down the road, because right now when I try to look up my profile & a couple of other things, the internet or sight "thinks" for several seconds, & then says that whatever I clicked on can't be displayed. And yes, the system does seem to run rather slowly when I try & do this, much as Lowlight says.

Just to understand the issue.

Are you really just clicking on the "My Stuff" drop down menu at the top of the page, and then clicking on the "View Profile"... and... what happens?

Re: Can't access my profile

I think this is a local issue and not one with the board.

I can access his profile and his account and nothing is coming up as corrupt.

Odds are it is his browser blocking a command, not something within the system.

I can view the entire account to include his profile as just a member.

Try using Google Chrome and see if that works, this browser tends to fix 90% of any issues a member sees here. If you are using a different browser and something appears to not work, if you change to Chrome and it works, then it is a combination of issues with your system, either security settings or firewalls, or just browser incompatibility because of changes written into the browser.

Doesn't matter if it works "somewhere else" this is just how it is... but I see no issue with his account from my end or from the member side.
