My ps3 web browser works OK with one exception. I cannot read threads on this forum

. I can see the thread, but when I click on it, instead of going into the thread, it just refreshes the page and puts me where I was. Anyone else have/had this issue and is there anyway to fix it (tried clearing cache already).

Yeah, it's a weird, but simple, fix. When you go to the main page of avs, you have to click "Enter Main Forums" on the left side of the page. From there, click on the section you want (ex: for the PS page, click "Home Theaterr Gaming", and then Playstation. Everything should work fine as long as you follow these steps before clicking on a post to read it. Hope this helps!

I thought I tried that before, but will give it a shot when I get home.


Thanks for the feedback.

Tried the above process, no dice. Anyone else have an idea (can you guys browse this site without any issues)?

 

[Asshandler]

Happens to me too, I can see all the topics, but cannot enter them. Clicking on them just refreshes the forum.

The PS3 browser is as lame and useless as the PSP browser.

 

[cheezycheech]

this is an avs issue as I visit other forums and it works fine and it happened around the avs upgrade/update timeframe a few months back. I just never mentioned it before possibly because most members hate ps3/bd users. I kid, I kid! send a pm to the mod and have them take a look at it. I can give you comfirmation that ps3's browser works fine. it's avs.

This is off topic but,


I wish Sony would make the browser compatible with sites like ABC, CBS, FOX, etc... We will then be able to watch full streamed episodes of shows right on our big screens through the PS3. How cool would that be?


Sony can be really dumb at times!

NOTHING on this planet is worse than the PSP browser. I remote play the PS3 just to use the browser on it if I need to use the web on my PSP.

 

[William Mapstone]

yup, I can't browse this forum, but I can browse all the other sites I go on. I have no idea what it is about this forum than causes a problem.

I've browsed avs without problems, but I start from a bookmark. Maybe you could try entering the path to a forum like this (for this forum)

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=142


See if that works. If it does, save it as a bookmark.

 

[kekborg]

Rich, just curious, if you come in to the site via the native pages, can you still get into the threads (just asking because if thats the case then it means it can be done...ie, not the ps3 but potentially a router setting)?

 

[GW-SMOkeY]

The freezing part is taking a toll on me... Sony needs to adress it... I hate turning my PS3 off when it happens.

 

[Rieper]

My PS3 browser is always prompting me with: "Would you like to run the plugin for this page?"....it's so annoying.


Is anyone else getting this prompt? I get it on every webpage...

 

[Asshandler]

If you want a fully functional browser on PS3, install Linux and use Firefox, Opera or whatever browser you usually use.


Problem solved.

True! I do have it... Running YDL! However I have to boot to it during that time, and in order to play a game I would have to reboot

I use Linux when not using my "Windows" LAPTOP

 

[SurfingMatt27]

Yeah i can't get into the forums threads as well, i click on it and it just bring me back tto the PS3 index page. i can't enter threads.


weird eh?


every other website i visit works except for AVS. oh and that pop up that comes up now and again to ask you if you would like to run the plug in, what is it? i normaly just click no since i don't know what it is.


I tell you one great thing i like about the browser is saving any picture and using it as your PS3 wallpaper!

I also made a screensaver with a bunch of photos and created a playlist under the picture options menu in the PS3 menu and it's pretty cool!

 

[cadbury8]

anyone find a fix yet? i cant select posts either. it just refreshes the screen. will have to try the bookmark workaround and see if that lets me in.

i found a way to enter the forums and make it work, you just have to click on the forums tab at the top when you first visit the AVS website, then click on "Home Theater Gaming" then click on "Playstation area"


it should work.
