I was having the same problem with FF 16.0.2 on W7 for my own signature and David's but others were OK.

I disabled Adblock Plus for the weatherforum domain and that has solved the problem...

The class name is made from PHPBB3 (the forum software) in order to constrain large signatures and give the Admin and User rights on how signature images are styled.

Browser extensions such as Adblock manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model) and when things get blacklisted (such as your signature) they get blocked, I am not sure why your signature got blacklisted, its not like it came from an ad producing URL.

I know a very good ad blocker, but its on the Mac. Its called "GlimmerBlocker" and rather than manipulating the DOM and acting as a browser extension, its a transparent proxy and alters the HTML and CSS when it comes into ad's.
Its Free and open source, so If any of you forum viewers out there own a Mac, give that software a try

Best Ad Blocker (IMHO) for FF is NoScripts, and maybe go for Ghostery as well

Hey Willo,
Could you have a look at the redirect issue again, I keep on getting redirected back to the home page when I login.

David · Unread post by **David** » Wed 30/01/2013 14:26

Anyone else having intermittent problems with redirecting this afternoon?
A few times I have a browser error come up because I have been redirected to
http ://www.weatherforum.org.nz/phpBB3/phpBB3/p ... B3/phpBB3/... (repeated forever)

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Wed 30/01/2013 14:28

Sorry, I am adjusting the .htaccess file to fix the redirection issue.

Is this still happening to you, specifically when you attempt to get to the index page by clicking on the forum logo and/or the 'Board Index' button? It is broken for me in FF but okay in Webkit.

Edit: Had to clear my cache from FF and it works fine now.

David · Unread post by **David** » Wed 30/01/2013 16:32

Seems to be working fine now

Yes I had the multiple /phpbb3 folder thing going on as well but it hasn't happened again.

Happy to report weatherforum.org.nz has never had vulnerability to the Heartbleed Bug CVE-2014-0160.
(We run on OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010).

Could you update the "Smilies"s as lots of then are quite inappropriate for this forum

I try to look at some for a comment but nothing seems right compared to smileys on other forums?

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Sat 06/09/2014 18:49

I have found this site slow to download today and clicking the submit button a few times before the message got through but as I'm with Telecom, spark or whatever, I see that they are having a few internet problems.

Is it possible to have the wide-screen version and full-screen option enabled on YouTube attachments (similar to those on the NorthAusChasers forum)?

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Mon 19/01/2015 14:15

Done!

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Mon 19/01/2015 16:41

Cool. Thank you.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Sat 14/03/2015 12:02

Thanks for getting the forum up and running again Willoughby.

Not quite sure what happened there?

Talk about bad timing though…

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Sat 14/03/2015 12:08

Yeah sorry about that - the disk space ran out.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Sat 14/03/2015 12:13

Yep, I'll take full responsibility… lol

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Sat 14/03/2015 12:19

Thanks for restoring the forum, especially coming up to an interesting time..
Got a call from Richard this morning concerned that it may of been his computer, but I told him that I couldn't get onto the forum either..

David · Unread post by **David** » Sat 14/03/2015 13:12

I'm finding the forum is still extremely slow at times
