When trying to view/post/update my blog, and while visiting other people's blogs, I keep getting a blank white page when I click submit. Then I have to refresh the page to get it going again. It's getting very annoying now, since today I posted the exact same blog post three times. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's quite frequent. Anybody else experiencing this or know what's causing it? I'm using Firefox, if that has anything to do with it.
And because I posted the same blog post three times, I had to wait 15 minutes before I could post this.
I had that just five minutes ago, I was posting on a shared forum, and hit submit...got the white page, clicked refresh only to find a double post...and because it's a shared forum, I can't delete my own message!
I get this too (only a dark gray background instead of white, which happens to be my theme/style in Windows, considering white is the default), but it's not Gamespot's fault as I get it everywhere - my E-mail, my own website where I know it doesn't happen, search engines, internet shops, everywhere. Thankfully though, it's a once-a-week occurrance and quite rare. It's apparently a bug with Firefox. While I used IE before 2005, I only got this when my internet wasn't working (and I had dial-up back then), but when I switched to Firefox, I got this usually once every 5 to 30 days and I browse forums and things 5+ hours a day. If you're getting this with other browsers while here, or it's only happening here, then there's an issue with Gamespot and the related websites.
I just got this when I posted my latest blog entry. I click submit and I see "done" in the status bar with a blank page. I click back and attempt to resubmit it since I have no idea if it sent or not but I got an error saying that clicking "continue" once was all that was needed. But, for some odd reason, I couldn't type in the text edittor at all as Firefox would just bring up the "quick find" feature so I pressed back again to otherwise get the same page. I then try to retype my entire message (using my copied backup) but I got an error saying that it was already posted. When this sort of thing occurs after sending a post, I don't know if a message was sent or not and it can sometimes lead to duplicate posts.
It only happens on Gamespot for me. And It only happens when I view/comment/post new blogs (I think). So I think it's a problem with Gamespot, not Firefox.
Whenever I attempt to view a shared board from the Gamespot side, I get a blank white page. I'm not sure if it's related to your issue or not though.Mad_Scientist
About 5 or so hours ago, I couldn't do anything here as only the top banner would show and everything below the common countdown advertisement at the very top never appeared no matter how many times I attempted. It was with both my profile and the forums in general. Then, when I recently just tried reaccessing the site, I found that I was logged out and it couldn't find the server to log me in, even though I could browse the website here just fine. I took out my Playstation 1 and played FF2 while waiting and checking back 3 times spanning an hour without any change. This isnt' entirely the same thing as at least Gamespot's background and top header was loading instead of just showing a page that has absolutely nothing in it.
