Well, in the last period we have been attacked a couple of times by hackers, one time successfully.
And we were also spotted by comment spammers, comment spammers tries to every site, with automatic programs in order to post the links to the sites that pay them (things like porn, viagra, how to enlarge my penis
etc... ). In big sites, like rosity for example, they pay a bunch of people for doing nothing else but finding the messages and delete them.
I installed some software that does it automatically, and the staff can see that no one spam message has appeared here in months, even if I made the registration process very simple in comparison of what it was in the past. Basically, a comment spammer have to register to the site manually(here) with their real IP address to post something, and they are still blocked if they write something wrong (new users are under the eyes of another drone, if they write something like "sex" or "viagra" for example, they are blocked since my intervention).
We've also a code that blocks the referrer links from
Renderosity, because the staff there took side with the pornguy dphoadley when he continuously spread dirt on Posetteforever: I wrote some replies and I was banned from Karen James (an admin that is in the friends' list of the pornguy). For that reason links coming from
Renderosity goes to a special page
.
These codes makes the site a little slower, just a little, because when you connect , they check your internet connection to the site, and we're on a cheap hosting company (godaddy) on a computer that is shared with other sites, so sometimes this computer get busy with other application that are resources hungry and we become "slow"
... I could go to a faster hosting company but it would cost me a lot of money and I prefer to keep Posetteforever without advertising (but maybe sooner or later I'll win Lotto or a lottery
). I mean, this is all I can do with my bus driver's wages
I think that one of these codes interferes with your (old) IE6. In this two days I checked and removed a piece of software, but I can't do else or we'll come back to hackers and comment spammers era
. We have to keep this software because I don't have money to pay people for keeping an eye opened on the site 24h deleting spam, the staff here is all on volunteer base so I can ask nothing.
BTW all seems to work fine but your configuration, what I can suggest you is to upgrade a little your system, I don't know if IE7 is available for windows98 but your system is a little "old"
.
At the moment I don't have enough data to solve the problem
