Problem with Firefox and Neo?
Firstly, sorry if this is the wrong forum! My problem is that every 4th time (on average) I click on a shop in the wiz or click to purchase an item, or refresh a page, my browser tries to open the link as a text file. I haven't tried restocking in a while but I assume this would affect it pretty badly, and frankly it's quite annoying having to constantly reopen links, and I've missed some snipes because of it. I am using the Beta version (4.0b11) of Firefox, and thin this might be the cause, but I really like it because it runs a lot faster for me. Oh, and I'm on a mac (which sometimes matters ;p). Anyone else getting this? I'm bad with computer things and don't really want to change back to old Firefox if it's a Neopets.com problem. Thanks ^^

I did have this only on Firefox but I am a Safari user and it looks fine on there. Spare a Meerca vote? :* http://www.neopets.com/beauty/details.phtml?pet=Romace :D

It happens all the time for the past 2 days or so. For Mac OS X users it tries to download as txt file. For windows users, it shows up as white pages. ----------------------------- [color=purple]Are you protected?[/color] http://www.neopets.com/~punchback_bob CG information & more

I have a mac too, and was using FF earlier today and had the same issues. It also downloads the page, not just tries to open it as a text file. I went back to using Safari for now. There I just get the Safari can't open the page three times out of four. I am pleased i have board admin in the guilds i belong to, as i have already managed to at least double post more than once today because of the lag issues. Some people are getting error 304, which i haven't had.

I use chrome and firefox on pc. Same problem as you on Chrome, Firefox shows it as a blank page. It's weird though because if you just sent a neomail or replied to a neoboard, it still goes through, it just doesn't display the page. :P

the page is not loading up for me properly for the home page for neo and other pages. Im not sure. Might be something to do with my own comp though but the other sites it doesnt happen to me.

I haven't had this happen in the last couple of days, but I'm not holding my breath =P Glad that it just wasn't something wrong with my own computer though =]
