Things on the Forum not working

[wickland]

There are a couple of things that are not working right on the forum.

1) When I send a message to myself, the popup box no longer appears when I receive a new message. It used to work then at some point it stopped working. I have the option "yes" selected on the Vboptions>> Private Message Options>> "Selecting 'Yes' for this option will cause the system to check the private message database every time a user loads a page, and will display a visible prompt if a new message has just been saved."

2) When I press the post message button when making a post on the forum, the screen goes white and it sort of "locks" up and sometimes I have to refresh the browser before the message goes on. The forum also never used to have this problem, I don't know why things on the forum are slowly falling apart or how to fix them.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

Thanks!
