    What browser are you using? Try a different browser.

    Don't know why that does that but I notice it becomes more prevalent when you go back and make corrections.
    Try clicking on the gear wheel (tools) right below your red (x) that closes a page/window. Then scroll down and click on Compatibility View settings. whiteblaze.net should be visible in a box (Add this website). Click on the Add box to the right of that and then close that window. This should solve a lot of your issues.

    Same here. Heres some debug info:

    If I ping 72.249.1.226 from Verizon network in California I get 2 percent packet loss.
    From charter network in California I get over 70 percent packet loss
    From Virginia no loss

    Pinning all routers on charter no packet loss, only the above up

    I was having a similar problem, but so bad many times I couldn't post or reply.
    Thanks, this works.

    I'm trying the compatibility fix with this post. Typing as fast as I can. So far, so good. Thanks milkman.

    Sailor, thanks for starting this thread, and thank you ATM for the solution!!
    This has been an issue for me on Internet Explorer for a long time, since about the time they updated the WB server. Text garbled up, no smilies, could hardly cut-n-paste.
    Finally went to Google Chrome with much better performance, but glad to have the IE fix.

    I'm so glad someone else had this problem and knew how to fix it. This is my first post since doing the compatibility fix and, thank goodness it worked. It drove me crazy anytime I tried to post something. Thanks guys.

    Try Mozilla Firefox for your browser...works great and not intrusive like IE. I don't trust Chrome either...likes to drop a lot of tracking cookies in your machine.
