See response to PM; still no joy.

John D. · 10-21-2003, 02:55 PM

Got it..!!! Let's walk through it in PM - we'll get you squared away - promise...!

John D. · 10-21-2003, 07:15 PM

Hey Tom.....

THE ASP code won't work either under the AOL browser you are using (dammitt - well I tried...) - so my guess is it's the encoding of the datatype on the POST FORM..

However - if you are up to it - this is REALLY simple.....

Connect through AOL - and once you are on - MINIMIZE the AOL window (just right click on the top of the window - or use the Minimize button)....

Open Internet Exploder (sorry: Internet Explorer) and type: www.lugerforum.com - and from the left link, when it opens, try the upload..?? Guess is - it will probably work... If not...

Well - stuff your computer into a box - send it to me - and I'll fix it

No charge...!!

Navy · 10-21-2003, 09:18 PM

Well John,
I did z'ackly that and got the same friggin' pissant message...

This makes no sense at all; certainly others use AOL, as crappy as it can be. Certainly others use the same Windows OS...maybe I am being discriminated for being a fat, middle aged white guy?? I smell lawsuit. ACLU?? Where are you??

Why the hell doesn't this work?

<hr /></blockquote>Well Tom - NOT to make you feel badly - but I have about 18,000 folks using the same program on another site - and nearly 1,700 more here.... Sooooo

Seriously - I really don't get it? You don't have a firewall, right? You are using AOL 9.0 ? That's Cool... ASP and/or CGI doesn't work for you - hey - does the LugerForum Member Gallery work for you???

Go here:

http://gallery.rennlist.com/lugergallery/

Login as "tom" - password "tom" (I'll change that for you if you can upload, OK???)

I'm still believin' you should just send me your laptop for a day - no charge - I'll fix whatever it is - and send it back next day...

John Sabato · 10-22-2003, 11:37 AM

If I can ever get him back to his Virginia home base John D, I will be glad to get him 'hooked up' and sending photos... but he is NEVER here... School's open, but he plays hookey... just to make money... imagine that! Of course he CAN afford more Lugers than most of us

Roadkill · 10-22-2003, 12:34 PM

I'm sitting here in Norfolk wishing I was back in Alabama, class is really not much fun, Tom is in Huntsville, will swap locations and we both will be happy.

Navy · 10-22-2003, 01:38 PM

Well guys the solution may be upon us shortly. Due to my clumbsy attempt at answering the phone last night, I managed to knock a glass of very good bourbon onto my laptop thereby frying the motherboard. Dell is graciously sending me another one for a paltry $900 to repair the damage done. So will have access and very limited access from work only for next several days.
It truly sucks to be me on occasion.

Is that a punishable offense? OCUI?

John D. · 10-22-2003, 05:46 PM

Wait a minute - you wasted perfectly good bourbon on killing your Dell laptop - when simple tap water would have done the job???? I'm with RK - that is a criminal offense....

BTW: I'll pay Dell an extra $25 to test the photo upload BEFORE they send your new laptop to you...

Navy · 10-22-2003, 06:08 PM

This ought to make you smile or cringe, depending on perspective...I ordered the motherboard from Del via New delhi (As in India) and when I asked about having a technician install it here, I was told that the install was very simple and I could do it myself.

I am going to stop by Sears on the way home from work and buy a ball peen hammer and some vice grips as I don't have any here in Huntsgaritaville.

I need MANLY tools to work on 'pooters.

Tom A

John D. · 10-22-2003, 06:15 PM

YOU GONNA DO WHAT?????.........

Hell - be sure to drink copious amounts of bourbon before undertaking such a delicate task - everything will fit together just fine. In fact - the more you drink - the better the fit.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Oh.... If you see smoke when you first turn it on - don't worry - it's just the new computer chips "burning in". Only if you see flames - should you worry...

Navy · 10-22-2003, 06:40 PM

That has been my experience with many things in life, love and economics

We can make a systems analyst out of Tom yet!

John D. · 10-22-2003, 08:01 PM

Actually - I think he should do IT Security.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> Why??? 'Cause based on his own testing - nothing could possibly get through his computer system to ever be posted to the outside world...

(Just funnin' ya' Tom... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> )

Ron Wood · 10-22-2003, 08:15 PM

<blockquote>quote:<hr /> Oh.... If you see smoke when you first turn it on - don't worry <hr /></blockquote>That really isn't the case. It is a well known fact that electronic equipment runs on smoke...and if you let the smoke out, it doesn't work any more.
