"Prefetching" ... HUH???

[Jackiej5407]

Does anyone else sometimes get this message when clicking to the next page in a thread?

"Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise."

Wha??? I've never even heard of prefetching ... and now it's really getting on my nerves!

Mystery to me but I have had several weird things happen on here today. Guess they are tweaking the site.

Good to hear, that means no virus or malware is causing it.

beats "database error" that I had for a half hour or so this morning

Prefetching is a cache thing..downloading stuff your browser will need so it'll load faster (like every time it'll do a banner or something) but it's more an efficiency thing ...that the site does..not you.

Thank you for explaining. I'm computer illiterate. For a bit everyone's "likes" disappeared. Was reading a post that had had a boatload of likes and got to the end and they were all gone. Was thinking 20+ people couldn't have changed their minds at one time.

I think somebody was looking into the antivirus warning issue earlier. Could have been related to some behind-the-scenes work there

It worked! Just look at Robino1 ... and she's one of "your kind"!

Didn't you know? That's a requirement to be brought on board as a staff member. No sane person would want the job otherwise.

Okay ... I continue to get this "Prefetching" nonsense on a daily basis. It really messes up my trying to follow threads. Is it MY computer, or something ECF is still doing behind the scenes?

This is most likely caused by a proxy setting at your location. If you're tight with the IT staff there, you can ask 'em about it, but there's nothing we can do here to resolve the issue for you.

Whatever ya'll just did it fixed the ungodly slow loading issue that's been going on for the last couple of weeks ...Please please please don't slow it down again.
