...but, is it with RvTK?  Or is it me?

I'm reviewing, and at least once in each 20 kanji, I get a small box at the bottom of my screen, and the "loading...." never completes.  Finally, I hit refresh, and the kanji I just graded (No, Yes, Easy) does NOT get moved from the expired kanji list.

I thought maybe it was some add-on for Firefox that was tripping things up (maybe a grease-monkey script).  So, I switched to Chrome.  In this case the stutter still occurred, but the symptom was a box that says "Alert: http://kanji.koohii.com...xmlhttp object status error: 0", with an "ok" button at the bottom.  Clicking okay loses the box, but then the "loading . . . " never completes without a refresh.

The thing is that the keyword I already reviewed will come back around again, and naturally, I'll get it that time, and then there is the time delay involved in refreshing.

So, maybe I'm the only guy in the world with this issue, and it's me and not you.  But you're a web guru, so maybe you can still help me debug this and get it over with?

This has happened to me a few times, but not nearly as often as 1 in 20.

if you dont touch the screen for awhile you will have to reload it for some reason, i dont really see it as a problem thugh, just hit one button and continue on.

@cloudstrife543 : I think he's talking about a ajax request timeout, not the session tomeout.

Hi Charley, I can't reproduce the problem here.

However if that's any consolation, I am currently rewriting everything clean and am about 30% done so far. The review page is the oldest code on the site and really basic. For starters it doesn't even handle a timeout as  far as I remember, in your case it should handle gracefully  a connection loss and retry at least a couple times before erroring out. It's gonna be more robust after I've ripped though the old code. I expect the code rewrite to take another 2-3 weeks at the rate I'm going.

Do you know if you're behind some kind of proxy or firewall?

Maybe it messes up the ajax requests by trying to cache stuff, anybody have experience with this ?

Something similar has occured to me a couple of times, but only when I was on my slow, and ultra-locked down, at school. I can't even access AJATT because of apparently objectionable content.

Anyway, this has never happened to me at home, so I assumed it had to do with the slow internet, maybe check that something is not stealing your bandwidth somewhere else.

Cusseta is a sort of a rural appendage to Columbus (Georgia).  (You're welcome to visit any time!)  As such, it's pretty primative.  My options include dial-up and satellite internet.  I'm using the later.  It can be quicker than dial-up (usually is, I think).  HughesNet is the provider.  So, I think, because of that, they do have my internet running thru a proxy server.  Of course, it's been this way for a couple of years now, so, this seems more recent.  Similarly, the firewall is just the standard old windows XP firewall, been that way for a long time. 

Maybe the new re-written code will be less sensitive to it.

Also, recently, in general--meaning all websites--I'll periodically just get a blank white screen.  If I "view source" the html looks fine to me, but nothing shows up.  If I refresh, then of course it seems to straighten out.

I suppose my computer could be dying--it's pretty old now.  Lessee...it's a compaq from back before compaq was bought by HP.  That was 2001 or so, right?

Anyways, thanks for the assistance.  I'll just keep refreshing for now.
