so maybe *I* invented the internet
May. 4th, 2006 08:30 amFor the last year or so, I've been dealing with a super annoyance on bear411. No, I'm not talking about a certain person on LJ. (He's been annoying people for at least a FEW years.)
It's that at the end of reading a chat message (or multiple messages), I always receive a message that pops up: "[THIS PROFILE DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE]." If I click reply, delete, reply later or refuse messages, it crashes my Firefox session. The only thing I can do with it is close the window, and it "goes away" until I receive the next valid message. This bogus message doesn't appear when I use Internet Explorer. Messages to Greg about it go unanswered.
Along with the message is the statement, "[Sent xxx days ago]." I really haven't paid attention to the number of days, I just knew it was a long time ago. Today I realized that the number of "days ago" is 13272, and I finally did the math. That's 36 years ago. So yeah, maybe *I* invented the internet. Or maybe the bear411 message was from Al Gore.
I'm thinking that deleting the account and re-adding it will take care of the problem. I'll try that soon. (I just hate showing up as "NEW" on the list. Sometimes those guys who know you're not-so-fresh make assumptions.)
