Status: offline 		In the last couple days CM has been slower an slower for me and now i keep getting this Internet Exporer cannot open internet site www.collarme.com/default etc.  Operation aborted and then it goes to the below and then i hit the go back to pevious page and it brings up the page i was trying to go to and all is fine for a few clicks and then it does it again.  Its not happening on any other site so far so i am trying to figure out if there is something going on in the background of CM in these last couple days.  Thanks... angel

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage


Most likely causes:
    You are not connected to the Internet.
    The website is encountering problems.
    There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:

Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.

Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
    Internet connectivity has been lost.
    The website is temporarily unavailable.
    The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
    The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain. If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

    Etc

Status: offline 		Actually, firefox users have more problems with this site than IE users........and the 3 users seem to be having the most of the Firefox users.

Status: offline 		I don't think its a browser issue as i haven't had this issue before in all the years i have been on here, and i am sure it would have popped up as well as i am not having the issue with any other site.  It seems that it may be a CM issue - i am not trying to have a browser war started lol, i will contact support and ask if they are doing something or if its something i need to look into fixing on my own.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Status: offline 		Clearing the cache is overrated. Don't bother. It is a throwback from when people had 300 MB harddrives.

When you have problems with a site, go to another site to see how it loads. Sometimes there are 10,000 people here, and the problem simply is not on your end.

Remember on a computer, except for the HD there is no "where" only "when". I mean if 200 people hit this site right before you, you will have to wait.

BTW, you know you can't clear the cache anyway, and you can prove it right now. Say you got it set to 300MB, well take it down to zero. Reboot. Then take it back up to 300MB, all the files are back. Been there done that. They are never gone.

Bear that in mind.

Status: offline 		In these days of high-speed internet having a cache is probably pointless anyway and you could just as easily set it to zero and notice no real difference anyway I'm guessing. Then again they still have it so who knows.

Status: offline 		Hi T, i have been on the computer for many years AND this site for many years, my question here wasn't some panic stricken newbie who is unaware of how sites sometimes work with the influx of people coming to it.  This question incorporates ALL of my experience on CM over the years and well, what was happening was enough out of the ordinary for me to ask this question.  While i appreciate the time of your reply, however, its a little condescending as well as misplaced presumption of ignorance of the basic knowledge of people coming to a site. 

Thanks anyway, feel free to continue the discussion -- i have my answers and appreciate all those who participated with their recent experience for me to decipher.

Status: offline 		Thanks KC  I appreciate it the info.  They work hard on this site so its good to know they are continuously trying to make it better, it was so out of the ordinary what was happening, i thought to see if others knew if that's what it was, before bugging support or trying to figure out if its something with my puter.

Status: offline 		Well that is just silly.  Microsoft is an extreme believer in overkill.  There are temp files all over your system if you use a PC.
As for the cache, I can tell you I have cleaned peoples computers out and found they have 10G of crap hidden in their IE alone.  And that doesn't even count the stuff in Mozilla, AOL or the normal temps.  One guys system was so full of crap it held 30G of temps.
OP
Go and find a free copy of CCLEANER from filehippo.
Clean out your temps.
I use IE and have never had issues with speed on my very old system.  You might also want to check out spyware issues that might slow you down.  Try Malwarebytes to remove pesky bugs.
Good luck,
Kyst
