It seems the other Message Areas other then Agora and Coop have been
"Frozen". Apparently messaging from the Web side became a problem at
some point. I noticed there were some disgruntled members some years
back. So Grex is not interested in "Web" people for new users. That's OK
by me. I have data limits and I'm better off staying clear of
http/https anyway. ("Who needs HTTP"). I get it.
22 responses total.
Please stop making general statements about what grex is or is not interested in. The other conferences aren't "frozen" by any means; I'm not sure what you mean?
Sorry. I didn't mean to upset anyone. I was just reporting the error I get
when I try to post with my browser. I didn't think this was the appropriate
place to put a long error script. Here's the first few lines.

The script is very long. Where can I put it so someone can look at it?
Well, put it in a text file in your home directory and post the pathname? That'd be a great start.
Sure thing. Here it is: /s/w/swolf154/saved/backtalk.crash
you have to switch from abalone to pistaccio (just kidding)
I tried that It didn't work.(Grin) Anyway, where did everyone go? Up in the "Cloud"? Not just here. Everywhere online. What's going to be "The Next Best Thing"?? on the internet?
It's working for me (abalone with the Ice Blue scheme). Windows 7 and 10, Firefox v59. FreeBSD 10.3-Stable with Chrome (Chromium 64.0.3282.186) works okay for me, too. Firefox 59 doesn't (yet) in that case. BTW, there is a test conference where you can post away and it won't bother people as much as seeing dozens of erased entries in several conferences every day. j test. You can enter items and responses for testing. Don't expect anyone to respond, though they might. (Some of the erased replies keep coming back, too, even after several fixseens).
Ok so your saying it's a browser problem. Ok I use Chromium Lubuntu and Chrome on Win 7. I'll assume you tried all the areas? I had no trouble with Agora and Coop. I'll look for that testing area you mentioned. Thanks
I got Firefox in FreeBSD to work. It took going into about:config and changing network.http.spdy.enabled.http2 to "false" so it wouldn't default to http2. That might work for everyone, but it did for me.
Thanks. That's an easy fix. I was able to use IE 11 to post and reply. I like Chrome and Chromium but I don't want to me with them. I don't like having 3-4 different browsers. Thanks for the info.
Considering backtalk is about 12 years since it's last update it's doing well to get this far. So many things have changed about Grex in that time. I hope you can get at least one browser you like working.
Sure, on Windows 7 IE works. I will probably need to install Firefox on my Lubunutu machine but using the text version of Fronttalk/Backtalk is just fine with me. In fact I like it better.

resp:14 walkman, are you feeling well? You've shot a five-year wad of BackTalk quota in a day!

re#16 To all of my friends I am a musical snob who listens to only high brow progressive rock. In secret I am a Kiss and Abba fan *SNORT*
"high brow","prog rock" ~ pft lame proto-punk, post-punk, alternative, indie, glam, hard bop ~ yes please classical? i'm in dixie jazz? gross blues? absolutely trad jazz? yep
I've been thinking about this for a long time... ...snore music. Is there an album out there like industrial music but consisting of snoring mixed together?
re#19 Emerson,Lake and Palmer..."Trilogy"
Emerson's last song was a blast
#19 Try "Metal Music Machine" by Lou Reed. If you do manage to fall asleep to it, you will wake up mentally insane.
You have several choices:
