Just now as I was coming into ECN my laptop froze for about 10 seconds. This is the only site that happens on..
Added: Now that I've been on a bit, it seems to be working good. Maybe there was a hiccup on my end.

I'm sure you already know this , but...
For the past few days my computer has been giving me a security warning when I come to ECN, telling meit has disabled a JAVA plug-in. Other news tells me that there has been a major flaw found in Java.

Other news tells me that there has been a major flaw found in Java. Reno, No, I didn't know that. I haven't seen that error message. Do you have the latest Java? I do notice some slowness now and then and am looking for ways to improve performance. We were getting out of memory errors and the host server was giving us 'cpu throttling' (like 'timeouts') many times per day. I noticed many errors relating to time consuming searches for things like 'Blackjack', 'Viagra' and other spammer subjects. I disabled the search feature for non-members and those not logged in and haven't had any of those since. No 'timeouts' from the host server in a few days now, and no memory errors. To go further, I'm thinking I may have to Archive some of the older threads and am looking into that as time allows. Bill

http://www.ivizsecurity.com/blog/pe...-with-no-patches-quick-fixes-to-protect/Java's latest version has been thoroughly compromised.... "What does it affect? Most of the recent Java run-time environments i.e., JRE 1.7x are vulnerable. This vulnerability affects Java 7 (1.7) Update 0 to 6. Does NOT affect Java 6 and below. The publicly available exploits work on all versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera. It also works on Chrome in Windows XP, Safari on OS X 10.7.4." Hence, it's a pretty good bet that you've got black hats having a field day with the Forum. And, yes, I've experienced clunky Web response -- even through to this morning. It's just ECN, though. The rest of the Web is still snappy.

Tesla,
I had no idea. That article was from back in August. Is there still no fix?
I disabled the Chat Counter and the Classified list that use Java.
Any better?

I am running Java 1.4.2 so that is not the problem.

There's a utility I can run to 'repair and optimize' the database. Not guaranteed to work, or help, but it's worth a try.
I will shut down forum around Midnight EST to give it a shot.
Note, this won't affect the chat area.
