General Chat

Here's an interesting thing.

I used the drop-down menu from Messages to go to Inbox.
Error message appears.

I went to a Sent Messages folder page I had open already in another tab and clicked on Inbox.
Inbox appears.

A possible work-around?

- edit - Nope, a fluke. I reloaded the page with the Error message and got my Inbox ...


On a side note, my PM to "Genes" (Genes Support Team) re the stickied post with the wrong line showing in the Chat list has still not been opened.

Janey

you know it is not our fault


it is our BROWSER's fault


or alternatively, our SEARCH ENGINE's fault


or possibly our SERVICE PROVIDER's fault


so you need to take it up with them



the fact that very few of us will have the same browser / search engine / service provider has never seemed to register with the powers-that-be!


:)))))))))

in lovely sunny pleasantly warm Vancouver

yeh it happend to me yesterday,
i couldnt get access, then it let me

today it asked me my email and password again,
i forgot didnt it cos i never uses it now, im usually just logged in

And while I have had brief interludes of inbox access, today I get the error message again.

Yes, blame me! I caught a bug and spread it around.

What other explanation can there be for some having it happen and some not?? Post in a thread where I post, and you catch it. ;)

Oh, I know there's an explanation for why some have it and some don't -- It Is Our Fault. We who cannot access our inboxes are the particularly stupid element of the GR population ... even though that does seem counter-intuitive, from the reports so far. If the great fault-finder spots this thread I'm sure he will explain it to us. Although, hmm, in Ann of glos's thread on General where I noted my problem, and asked for his diagnosis, he seems to have been speechless. ;)

Oh, a tip.

I knew from my real email who had PMed me, so I was able to open my contacts list, found the person, clicked on her name, got the list of PMs exchanged between us, and was able to read the new ones.

Arrrrrrrgh!!!

Now it's happening to me too........I can't reply to a pm!!!

Why does it only affect some people and not all of us?

SRS
you cant contact Whirley cos she has left the site. Jean does look ups and so does Wayne /Tracy

The website cannot display the page

HTTP 500

Most likely causes:
 The website is under maintenance.
 The website has a programming error.

Hope I am not wrong being on this site . You have all helped me out in the past and I'm sad for to see things can turn pear shaped even for you whizz kids. You have moved mountains for me so thanks. Don't bother replying I am still plodding on here and so not PC with this site and postings (Just the way I am). Cheers

OH NO


it's corrected itself



it took almost 1 minute


but my message box opened



no new messages, of course!

I now get white paged when I try to open my mail box

Only happened today (that's Thursday still for me)


so I blame Janey



:))))

I got mail! I got mail! And an anticlimax that was ...

This jumping thing -- I got that a couple of weeks ago at OKCupid as I was trying to shove some stuff into my "profile" for future ref and I recognized it as what people said here -- that once you got to the bottom of the box the text just kept bouncing me up and I couldn't see what I was typing. So I know it's real!

And no, I haven't installed the latest Flash. Almost did the other day as I was rebooting my computer (something I do about every two weeks, shh), but it wanted me to shut everything down again, and I didn't want to. I should. I will. I hate Flash.

I'm never sure whether ads here affect me even though I adblock every ad and graphic I see and never see them again. I gather there's a guy in a top hat somewhere on this page. ;) I think the ads and graphics are still there, invisibly slowing down everything I do ...

They will blame it on one of their remote servers or a incompatible ad they are running}


have you got the latest version Flash Player installed,I had trouble with a couple of sites till I up graded,,,and this site has run ok since I did,no jumping or flickers,

I'll email you instead Janey lol

Ha ha, Rose. I just looked at my Janey gmail tab and saw the announcement.

No, I have the latest two tabs where I've tried to access the box in the last half-hour open, and they're both shouting at me in big black letters and smarming at me about my charming understanding nature and their abject sorriness.

I just knew somebody would do it, though. PMs. If you PM me, I will bite. But I know I do want to know what you've told me! Are telling me, will tell me ...

Thanks Rose :)

Janey PMing you to try it! and tell you something :)

SRS --

So is this why I can't send people off to Whirley's ER lookup thread and tell them to send her a message anymore? Because - they can't?



Cynthia -- you bet yer bippy I did.

I copied my correspondence about this particular "glitch" into Ann's thread on General.

SueMaid, you're two days late and I was a couple of bucks short. I oogled my own Tues the other day (as I've done since I was 16). Tuesday, in fact. About a half-inch too much of it. That half-inch that is just a half-inch too much. Oh well. Makes it poofier, and it grows faster.

Oh, Tuesdayoogle! I thought I was unique and special.

But I'm not hearing anyone say they haven't got an inbox!

Nyah nyah. GenesReunited loves me best.


Oh, and now's your chance, folks.

Send me PMs. I'm defenceless. ;)

"for any inconvenience"!!! :-)
nearly forgot to smile then
