Rise of Nations Problem

Not sure where this belongs..but I'll put it here.

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

When I click on the new pictures for RoN, I get this. Then I press back where I get several errors relating to "UUUUUUUUUUUUUU". What the fish is "UUUUUUUUUUUUUU" and how do I make it simply disappear so I can view the pics?

Markos, just got the UUUUUUUUU thing when trying to open a thread in OTF, disappeared after refreshing. IE6, logged in and cookied.

Same here with opening a thread in A/C.

MarkG · November 15, 2002, 17:12

hmmm that might happen if you stop the loading of the page suddenly

is this the case?

Solver · November 15, 2002, 17:24

No. I was in another window, and when came back to see the thread, it was UUUUUUU. Just those, on a blank page. For the record, it was after I posted a reply, and the thread reloaded itself with my reply in it. When I stop loading, it looks different slightly... maybe some garbage code, but not UUUUUUUUU.

It had UUUUUUUUU, and refreshed. It was okay. It came up with some Finnish-like garble 10 mins later in the CtP MP Forum

After getting a "UUUUUUUUUUU" I refreshed and it was replaced by "uuuuuuuuuuu". (Note case change). Strange that.

At least its getting to be "less" of a problem...

Frozzy · November 15, 2002, 21:59

Ah... well, we all know it's Skanky's fault after all

Frozzy · November 16, 2002, 05:28

Maybe this will light some memories (true snapshot take a couple of mins ago)

MarkG · November 16, 2002, 05:40

no need for the screenshot(thanks anyway). i have goten it too in the past, but i dont remember the occasion

MarkG · November 16, 2002, 05:41

refreshing gets you the page correctly, right?

Frozzy · November 16, 2002, 05:42

Yeah, it does. Seems a bit odd though

Asher · November 16, 2002, 05:56

I not only get UUUUU, but a whole ton of HTTP talk.

Frozzy · November 16, 2002, 05:58

I get UUUUUUU and some Finnish-Like Garble.

Solver · November 16, 2002, 08:41

Markos - yes, refresh gets it right, and I get only letter, no rubbish/HTML.

Can this happen during moments when server load is too high?

I've seen it many times today. Interestingly enough, just now while clicking to leave this thread. Just thought I'd share that.

Sarxis · November 17, 2002, 16:41

lol

I just got it when I pressed 'reply' for this thread! Talk about coinky-dink.

But I'll usually get that, or some other funny font thing once or twice a day clicking various links here.
