Got a reply to my email of yesterday

"Thank you so much for taking the time to send us such a detailed reply, it's greatly appreciated.

I can understand how frustrating this must be for you, and you can be assured that I have passed all of the information you've given us onto our team of developers so that they can look into this further and hopefully resolve this issue. I've also passed on your suggestion to them with regards to deleting threads from My Threads without having to delete the post from the thread. I'm not sure whether it's something that can be implemented, but they do consider all suggestions if it's something that they can do.

We're really grateful for your patience Sylvia. If there's anything else I can help you with, just let me know."

and I have just noticed that the latest posting on GR page on FB concerns always getting ............

The thing they have done recently is to change the new tree to the default instead of the old tree.

I've been able to access "My Threads" today usually after only 1 error message. Has GR done something? I certainly haven't. I hesitate to do as they suggest i.e. clearing my cache and re-setting my cookies simply because I don't put any faith in GR's knowledge of the problem.

If GR has done something to alleviate the problem they certainly haven't let us know about it. The only update message we've had is the one dated December 8th. How can they call that an update when it's 2 months old?

My latest message to The Support Team:


"I thank you for your feedback but you make it sound as if I am the only
person who is experiencing this problem. I know of others who have contacted
you about it. If you will just have a look at the Suggestions Board, the
thread entitled "My Threads" shows that many have the same problem, the
suggestions that you gave me have been tried to no avail.

Another point: The error message says that it has been logged. If so could
you tell me how many times I have received this error message in the last
few weeks?. I have received it at least half a dozen times today and there
is no way that I can access "My Threads" today.

Regards,
Margaret"

And their response:

"Thanks for coming back to us Margaret, and I'm sorry to hear you're still having the same problem.

It could be that your browser has a cached the page, and you should at this point clear your cache.Here are some websites to help you clear your cache:

I got a very similar reply this morning to an email I sent last night, although with slightly different wording. No mention of Watched threads for example.


"I am sorry to hear the problems you have been experiencing whilst using the threads on the site.

Having looked at the feedback other members have posted on the boards you all seem to be having similar issues.

So we may report this further, could you confirm if this is happening on all threads or a few in particluar? Does it happen every time you view a thread or is it now and again?. I can see other members have said after the third attempt the thread seems to work correctly, is this the same for you?.

Could you also confirm which operating system and browser you are using."


I pointed out in the first email that I had tried around 15 times to open My Threads between the hours (UK time) of ca 7:00 pm Feb 6 and 4:45 am Feb 7, and that I had finally succeeded at around 6:00 am (UK time)


I've replied ............... but will have to wait until tomorrow for a reply



I also now only try twice and then give up.
