Still can not open explore oz out of the favorites

Eric,

I have found the page slow to open. Might be the traffic or maintenance to the site.

They might have to build a M7 to speed things up a bit.

Off to the Snowy for 2 trips back to back, very popular 7 vehicles on the first trip and 9 on the second, then off to the Vic High Country with 7 vehicles. I hope the rest of the year is just as busy not only for GDT but for all the other tour operators, last year was a bit average for us.

I have had that problem in the past and I think I overcame it by doing the following. (It worked but could have been coincidence LOL) delete your exploroz bar in your favourites column and go to your search engine and enter exploroz.com and when you get to the page you want, save to favourites. Just the same as saving any new favourite.

What page are you pointing at Eric? I navigate every section of the site from the desktop and favorites and have NEVER had any issues with using them. There is NO difference in launching the site from favorites or desktop - it is all just a URL to a location on the net regardless of how you get there. Actually when the error comes up send me a copy and paste from the address line of the browser I am interested in the hyperlink, as HTTP 500 means something to me. I did a mod the oterh day on Auto Logon so this could be a new bug.

As for performance the system has been instant for the last week and traffic is down due to XMAS.

Might be that, but might also be a "browser hijack". Would make it slow because its making you go to another site first (but you can't see it doing that) but that other site is down so you get that error
You can kill off most offending software using free software.
Get Spybot - HERE
(free)

Install it, make it update, and make it then search for problems on your computer.
It should find heaps, let it delete anything you don't specifically recognise (unless you use it to connect to your corporate network or for them to connect to you, in which case don't delete anything just yet, but make a list of any EXE's and I'll let you know which are safe to kill).

Good practice to run it every few weeks, we all pickup stuff when browsing the internet. Also make sure your Antivirus is up to date and set to scan at least once a week.

If there's a programmer or web designer who's also using/borrowing your computer there's another possibility...

Hi Eric,

If you still haven't sorted this then try this

Right click on your desktop and choose "New" then "Shortcut" then paste this into the field "http://www.exploroz.com/Forum/Default.asp" click next and then give it a name. Click finish and your done.

Hope this helps.

mines fixed...have a look at my post about this issue to see what i did....dunno if this fixed it or something else was the issue?

Not to detract from the words of wisdom of those with a higher knowledge of computer workings than my self, may I respectfully suggest the following.

(1) In this instance forget Favourites, bomb off/delete ex-ox from same.

(2) Do what Mr Des Lezzie or what ever his name is suggested and find EX-OZ in/on a fresh search engine of your choice.

(3) Left click on the URL and drag it into/onto your browser 'links' toolbar.

(4) You can then move this link by grabbing it with the left mouse and move it anywhere you like on the toolbar that suits you.

This way it sits right in front of you everytime you open your browser and doesn't seem to be vulnerable to outside attacks/glitches etc etc.

and remember

Do what's right. Do it right. Do it right now.
