Is Autoswalk working correctly?
Permalink  
 


I don't know if it's my computer or Autoswalk, but when I go to Minnesota events for May (the same problem exists for other months also),  I see it list "RESULTS 1 - 10 OF 26" with the tabs at the bottom to look at the other pages. The problems is that NO events show on the screen. Clicking on the "NEXT" page also shows nothing.

Thanks in advance for checking to see whether the problem is "here" or "there."

May shows three pages of events, I tried to leave a link but it won't work. If you have it saved as a favorite you might try restoring the link.

Thanks for checking, Kevin. I deleted the link in my list of favorites and then retyped it in the address bar. Still no luck. I wonder what the problem could be with my computer since it does show what should be the top and the bottom of the page (as I described above) but not the events themselves.

Hopefully, one of the club members who's also a computer guru in addition to being a Chevelle pro can make a suggestion.

Mitch's link worked for me. I also see there's a Boost for Boobies car show in Maple Grove, I'll send Barbie if see ever comes home again.

Unfortunately, nothing has worked. I had made the previous attempts from my laptop. Today I went to the desktop, assuming that some update to the laptop was causing the problem and that I could at least use the desktop to get the site. NOPE, it didn't work.

What's seems weird is that I have used Autoswalk a number of times earlier this "spring" and it worked fine. Why two different computers won't show the those "strips" of event data escapes me. (Actually, there's no surprise that it would escape me since I'm no computer expert. Even so, could it be how the data for those "strips" is coded and my computers won't display it?)

What's also weird is that I haven't noticed any kind of problems -- similar or otherwise -- with any other website.

I just thought of something . . .

I use Firefox so I tried Internet Explorer and this seems to be even more weird. The "strips" will appear very briefly and then disappear.

We'll see if this gives an idea to anyone who'll look at this thread again.

 Sounds like you have an unwelcome cookie on your computer (it's corrupted). What do you have for virus and spam protection, is it up to date and when is the last time it did a scan ??

I use www.superantispyware.com They have a free edition to download and try but, of course, it won't remove all the spyware until you buy it...rolleyes I have had very good results with the professional level. The initial cost is about $20 for a year with a lifetime update option for another $20. I have the lifetime.

Sounds like Mitch might be on to something with the cookies.  I would go into your internet tools, and delete your browsing history (including cookies), and try it again.

Have you rebooted lately?  That's always worth a quick try.

Thanks to all who stuck with me and offered suggestions. What makes it a little odd is each of the computers have different operating systems -- one is Vista and the other is Windows7. As a result, they have gotten different updates from the "factory." Also, they have different anti-virus protection, so if there's some kind of "bug," it escaped each of them.

Well, that's enough for this thread. Let's get back to Chevelle talk . . .

FYI, you can also use www.carshownatinoals.com for listings. Here's the Minnesota section: http://carshownationals.com/wordpress/minnesota-car-shows The guy who runs it, Mike, is a local guy who I met through the Cruise for Troops event.

Thanks, Bryan -- I'll add it to my bookmarks. Actually, I did get Autoswalk to work properly by fiddling with some settings in Firefox. Even though I don't use Internet Explorer, it's probably is OK there now too. I'm anxious to see if Car Show Nationals includes some things not found on Autoswalk -- I'd guess there are some things that don't overlap.
