Did you get an error message? What happened for you?

i got the error message and internal server error - but prior to the site going down _ i had experienced slow loading and was then thrown off gaga - i had to reboot - i am on FF

It Said there was a server error,internal server error for more than half an hour. For everyone. 

mine doesn't work with IE - no smileys at all

I couldn't post anywhere  Lori... and yes, there was an error message..... but I can't remember what it was..... then I noticed that there had been no posts since 21.49.... and started getting messages from others that they couldn't post either..... it came back again about 10.30ish.....

Oh and while we are on problems Lori There is a problem with the Iphone app...... Sweet Summer and I did post in the technical thread and Rosemary replied to say she had passed the message on to the *boffins*, but we are still getting the problem.. Ta ever so

Well, it's all very interesting....we had a servlet die, apparently, so that would have impacted some of you. Must be all you who are posting now.

Sorry about that?

 

Baz, I don't know anything about the iPhone app issue...but if Rosemary reported it, the issue is being looked at. However, the fix (if there is one) is not always immediate. Have you asked about it on that particular thread?

Yes, we posted in the appropriate thread... I think It's not so much of a problem for me, as I mainly use my laptop, except for late at night, like now , when I am in bed and use my iPhone But Sweet Summer relies totally on her iPhone and the blank screen is really a problem for her at times Anyway, I will post again over in technical and see whether they can sort it . I reckon the hooligans have been fiddling with the controls

That Scotty....

Just to let you know, I've gone back to IE8

can you see all smileys? I've just checked and mine is IE7 - so if it works, I might update it

Yeah, I've never had problems of not seeing them. Only thing it doesn't do is copy and paste pics

Hi, are things better now, then ?

Oh. I've never had a problem with that ... coz I can't be bothered to do it!!

Seem to be Skylark. I'll wait a while to see if any bugs in 9 have been ironed out before I have another go

I know a lot of folks aren't happy with it but ............since I switched to Google Chrome I've never looked back ....I know some peeps don't like change (I'm the biggest Luddite there is) but .............I've never had a problem TBH.

Yes, thats a good idea x

I love Google Chrome sooz ... but I do wish they would sort out people's difficulties with IE before BB starts and (perhaps) new people find us.

 

Ros (up there ^^^) says, like me, she can't see smilies - hope someone responds to her soon

Have a look at the version of FF you're using Ros. Maybe someone can help you from there

The answer for Ros is the same as it is for every IE user who can't see smilies: see El Loro's post here on how to include us as allowed sites in your Privacy tabs, and that should fix it. Doesn't take long to do, and and El Loro's steps are very easy to follow.

Is that the same for FF though Lori. I believe Ros is on that

This is where I got the idea that she's on IE.

Oh sorry Lori. I'm confused now. At the top of this page she says she's on FF. I'll shut up now

Isn't there something that can be done your end though Lori? If I arrived here as a newbie (unlikely, I know!!) and IE, which, by the law of averages I would be using, didn't work, I would just leave.

 

Or, if that's not possible, how about putting a sticky up with a title something like - are you new? read this first. (I'm not exactly a copywriter ). You could probably get rid of the SIT to make room.

Ah, that's a good idea Rexi

No worries, sproooot--it IS confusing!

 

Rexi: That post I refer to is in the Tips and Tricks forum. I would hope that a new member who is having trouble would look to see if something was there that might be helpful.

You might be expecting a little bit too much though Lori - I don't even know how to get there.

 

Since we hoopla'd and gagaga'd and got divorced from livecloud and stuff I have no idea how to find anything. I used to love reading the Social Strata blog but, short of googling it (which I do), I have no way of finding it.

 

Mind you - I understand that you want to keep all the stuff in one place, so how about a sticky with my Are You a Newbie heading (or whatever I said) and just link it to the Tips and Tricks, rather than expecting a newbie to seek it out?

sorry to confuse everybody - i do use FF but did use IE until it didn't work on here -

In the recent MM - I needed two browsers and  IE was a pain to use - couldn't see the smileys

but thank you - will follow E L'S advice

Yes agree with this - a sticky would be brilliant - TBh - rarely wonder far from the thread s on LC

OK...I'll do a sticky. Might not be immediate, but I WILL do it.

Negotiation? *tick* Mediation? *tick*

 

Good call Lori - thanks

Hi, you guys:

 

I did it! It's here.

Note that I had to clean up the Tips and Tricks forum a bit to get rid of stuff that no longer applies.  And, I've set that announcement so you can't reply to it (sorry...but I don't want to distract anyone who needs help )

 

So, if you know of tips you think would be helpful, post away over there (or have El Loro do it. )

Just seen it Lori......... brilliant idea by those who may be concerned

Rexi is a genius.

And here's her leading us on to make us think she's useless   

Ooops!

Maybe I gave something away there....

LOL, nah, you're fine Lori.  

Lori thinks: I am a genius *swoon*

Get a grip woman!
