There, there....*pats on head*...tell me your troubles, and I'll see if I can help.

Hey, ozzycam:

I noticed that you posted your question in our help section (Questionshark)--good for you!

Did you notice that someone responded and asked you a question in return? http://help.socialstrata.com/d...t/140893078178676427

  I've got no job, no boyfriend... Oh! You didn't mean that type of trouble, did you?  
Well, like I've already said...
1. can't access QShark unless you post links now
2. after I first sign in, whenever I first load any part of Gaga or LC and when I do request a reply box, the first one I open never accepts any text. I always have to cancel it and then request another that I can then post in... very minor, I know!  

Oh, and before you ask... again , Mac OS X 10.4.11, Safari 4.0.4...

Erm......Sorry dont know where to find the browsers info....

Ozzy... I don't know what your browser is... but there should be a menu under the it's name on your main bar... It should tell you when you click on the 'About blah'... the version should display then. Damn... I bet that makes no sense...

Think i might be in luck.....Could it be Mozilla 4.0, screen size, 1440x90
Gobble De Gook to me...lol

Quote of the day...Everything is user friendly until it becomes unfriendly

Xochi Yes your problem brought to mind the old problem with quoting but the quote problem does not happen in GaGa, just in other areas now??

ozzy... Try downloading Google chrome Chrome then see if you have any problems with that browser. That way you can switch between browsers at bad times.
Here's a short cut:

Hmmm I can't alter my ant/any typo

And it won't let me fix my ant0 any typo. I just get those cogs again (you know the ones) they go round and round and round.. .... and round and round and round.... and.. well you know...

Ohhh they did get fixed.. I just got not closure on the cogs thingy,, Doh!

I-m good at typos

Hi James thanks for the help but its not made any difference, my pages are still taking ages to change its driving me

Well if Chrome won't load fast the problem lies elsewhere. Do you run a virus checker and ad-wear checker, something might be interfering with your uploads. Your system resources may be being used elsewhere. Could be at your end rather than Livecloud. However if everything else works OK that kind of knocks that on the head.
Good luck.

I can`t delete or edit either

Sorry, but I think we're in a bit of a mess.
No access to the support forms, pages still frequently not loading properly and having to be refreshed immediately to get a working reply box. Unrequested reply boxes appearing everytime a page is changed or refreshed. When submitted it is a lottery as to whether they will go through. The cogs whir for ages, then sometimes the message appears and sometimes you get an error message. It might say the message can't be sent because of an unknown error, other times the server cannot be found.

All these problems are not happening all the time ,but are cropping up frequently but irregularly.

There are periods where everything seems to be working perfectly, but the errors always creep back.

There are periods where everything seems to be working perfectly, but the errors always creep back.

And now the edit function doesn't seem to be working.

Hmm....looks like it did, but the cogs just kept whirring and the reply box remained on the screen until I made a new post, then it showed up.

Edit: trying the edit function again.

Edit: Still just getting cogs whirring endlessly.

Im getting ready to give up at this stage its so frustrating waiting ages for the pages to turn and to reply to posts .......Is it just me its having problems then

Oddly enough I have been having those problems for ages...but for some reason my site seems OK today, when everyone else's isn't

I've now cancelled the cogs, cancelled the reply box where I was trying to edit and make a new post.

And now that I have submitted the new post the edits have appeared in my previous post.

As I have said in the inaccessible Support Forums, for me the place I get the unrequested reply box is 'The Bar' of 'The Sinking Ship'. Have not paid sufficient attention to be sure if it does or doesn't happen elsewhere.

Takes the drinks away from Fluffy

same here   was bombed out completely last night - nothing would load properly - today everything back to normal - it has been  troublesome since last Friday - dont know if updates have anything to do with these problems

Are your pages taking ages to load mrs H......

Well, I can answer ONE of these questions for sure:  the "inaccessible support forums" can be found simply by scrolling to the bottom of this page (or any page within Gaga or LiveCloud, I believe), and clicking the link that says "Get Help".  

Ozzy:  it sounds like something isn't loading on your pages.  I'll keep asking about this (although, unfortunately, it will be Monday).

not today ozzy - but had been a pain for over a week

I noticed that Xoch and ozzy are both running Firefox versions that are NEWER than mine.  That's interesting.  I'm kind of scared to update, in case I run into the same issue.   However, on Monday I will take a poll at the office to see if anyone else is using 4.04.

Have just visited the support forums on this new Q-Shark place. It's like a whole new place to explore and get used to.

I would like to add that a stopped using Firefox for that very reason, it slowed down every time  I updated the version. There has to be something in the code causing this.

And I am still getting an unrequested reply box in 'The Bar' every time I refresh or change the page and so far have not had this anywhere else.

Hi again Lori

Just to point out, dunno if it's my own numptiness, but I'm using Safari 4.0.4... that's not the same as Firefox 4.04, is it?  

But I'm not getting the unrequested reply box in the Bar any more, although I've just found out Fluffy has been having the same problem I had... and still is... *shrug*

I closed the tab I was using for the sinking ship and opened a new one. The unrequested reply box is no longer appearing, but I have no confidence that it will not reappear at some point as I have gone through all this before. I think it is linked to the refreshing and reloading, because when you open the browser and log in afresh it does not happen.

Xoch:  What's that you guys say? "I should have used Spec-Savers?"
I also have Safari on my computer, and I just checked:  I have the same version, but I've not got that same issue in the Bar.  The next time it happens to you, can you post here, and I'll go check to see if I'm having the same issue?

Far be it from me to suggest you have failing eyesight Lori!  

Yeah, I will do that, but because of the daylag, it may not be happening to you when you try. And like Fluffs says, it seems to be an intermittent problem... but I didn't think it was happening to anyone else at all until I mentioned my ickle niggle!

That's why it's worth it to post niggles, ickle or not.

test edit

Why is the edit and delete not working also really slow when the page is loading it goes on and on and on and on

Hi, Marguerita:

Was this a temporary thing, maybe?  It's working fine for me.  Is it still happening to you?

test edit

Lori... I've just had the same problem as Marg trying to correct a post... I know she's on Safari like me!

Hmmm....I just logged in w/ my Safari browser, and had no trouble editing my post.  How weird.

So, does this happen ALWAYS or just sometimes?  I'm trying to figure out if it's the servlet you are on (which changes from login to login) or something else.

Hi Lori  it is still happening has been like this for about a week now.

Hi Lori... I've just logged in, posted here and tried to edit... the edit didn't work but the delete did!

... and as I said in my deleted post... I don't edit or delete that often! My prose is always perfect!  

... and I've just edited a comment on my wall perfectly fine!

So, when it doesn't work, do you get an error message, or does it just keep...spinning or whatever?

Feels tempted to try that is try and edit

deleted bit...
