MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Engine Breather OIL SUCKING unreadable?

The last time I was able to read this thread properly was yesterday with the posting by Guy W at 10 January 2015 at 22:41:20 (UK time). Everything after that is just displayed as lots of plain text not properly formatted. I'm using Firefox but doubt that's the problem. Posts keep being added but they don't display properly, anyone else having such issues?

No, it works for me. Not that I've read any of it!
john payne

No problems for me, either.

All good here - with Firefox

I need firefox then so mine won't display it ;-)

Probably something like corrupt data in your browser cache. Remove old files and maybe cookies in firefox. If no go then clear out your temporary files in windows / user areas. (In windows run system clean up to start with).

You may find you lose some / all your saved passwords and layouts so its a toss up.

I personally wouldn't worry if its just a thread I am not using unless the effect 'creeps'.

Dave, you must be gutted you can't read it. When you find the cause, market it!

I use Firefox and it reads ok. You could try something like Piriform CCleaner which removes all the rubbish that builds up (just don't slkect the option which removes passwords).

I'm running Ubuntu Linux and only have the problem on that one thread that I'm aware of but had a quick look in the archive to find some previous long threads and couldn't find them, FWBs and engine oil sucking thread mk1 spring to mind as long. Clearing the cache and history has made no difference. The only thing I've changed recently is I installed the NoScript add-on to allow me to control what sites are running scripts, maybe something to do with that. I was finding that ebay was becoming intolerably slow, well the browser, due to all the 3rd party advertising and scripting crap, limiting it to ebay's script stuff has brought it back to a good speed again.

I can live without the oil sucking thread for the time being but will investigate further.

Try Chrome? Can you run that on Linux?
Lawrence Slater

You could also try Maxthon browser for Linux. I've used it on my old WinXP PC for about a year now. It is fast and has an in-built ad blocker.

THis is not an uncommon problem which affects some pc's and not others. Data builds up faster than it can drain away and that is the root cause. Too long a thread makes things worse, so does cold weather I believe. If you ask Lawrence he has been boring holes in the side of his pc to see why this happens.

LOL. :).
