Go into your profile page and tick the 'on vacation' box

Lori, I've noticed a very strange phenomenon that stops me seeing certain threads beyond the point where one particular poster joins them.

Whenever someone called Essie posts, that ends the thread for me and I can't see anyone else's posts that are submitted after that. It's happened several times  before (always when Essie posts) and has now happened again, in Annoca's 'heartbreaking' thread.

What's going on?

And why can't I post new topics? I get an error message every time I try, saying I don't have access to the relevant page 

Actually, now I can so glitch seems to have ironed itself out.
But I still can't post in Annoca's thread - or any thread where Essie has been first

In the future, copying and pasting the error message into your message will probably help them solve your question sooner.

Hi, Demantoid:

Could you please post the entire error message that you get when you try to post in a topic?  Also, in future, the place to post software errors is in the support forums.

Hahaha! I just had a look at that Lori, because I have another irritation now. It looks like a new and complicated area to navigate... and seems that it answers you directly about an issue without being able to see if it is one that others are experiencing first. The beauty of the old area is that you could pick up tips to solve them first and perhaps solve it without having to direct them to the bods at LC... and for less gobby FMs like me that may be less intimidating!  
However, I will try to post my niggle there... somewhere, tomorrow...

Hi, Xoch:  that's because it's brand new, and no one has had time to flesh it out with past questions and such.
(and, when I posted that, it was the OLD support forums, not the new ones).

G'wan:  what's your niggle?

Hi Lori! Yeah... guessed it was, but a shame past problems couldn't be incorporated. But now you ask!  Whenever I refresh on in the Bar on the Sinking Ship, I get taken to the top of the page and automatically get a Post Reply box, even if I don't want to but only want to see if anyone has posted a response... you see what I mean? Oh, and also, the blog responses have gone microscopically small, and I think others are seeing that too.  Just drop in the bar now and then... it's like 'Cheers' there these days!

Hmmm....that's not happening for me.  What are you using for a browser, so we can test it on our end?

Small print is happening, though:  I believe it's intentional, although maybe not THAT small!

Hi again Lori... and hoping you take a peek again here!
My browser is Safari version 4.0.4... and as regards the small font size in blog replies, I hope this translates the relative size versus the main one... (with apologies to James!)  

There's a fire in the sky!! But it's delightful.

As I walk to the office each morning 
I see some red in the dawning
I get out my camera to take a pic
But there's too many buildings it makes me sick 
No angle no clear view can I get
So I have not been able to catch one yet.
The same thing happens one my way home from work
Somebody up there is having a smirk
For as soon as I get to a clear bit of sky
It's gone all black that redness is shy.
Both Lou and sbevis are playing teasy weasy 
 By making it look so bloody easy peasy .

OK Lori, just tried to demonstrate the magic shrinking font size, but it didn't work... My browser is Safari 4.0.4... When I tried to delete the reply I made, I got this error message, for what it's worth... thanks Steven, I'll make sure to include those in Glitch Reports in future!  

The page you requested is not available. Reference ID: 140893078181080319[95524973][1139625902]TUR-QSHARK1.r8855.b519-livecloud.ps002

Im getting that message too, xochiquetzal, cant get rid of it and its slowing my pages down.......

Hi ozzy!
I think our problems are different, but maybe we both get the same 'we-don't-know-what-the-hell-is-wrong' error message then!  
But just a suggestion... and you are talking to the biggest techy numptie ever... I think I read somewhere that if you are copying and pasting quotes it may mess/and/or slow things down. From the look of how you are quoting replies, I wonder if that's how you're doing it? If so, try the quicker way to reply to a quote.

1. Before you open a reply box, just highlight straight from the forum the thing you want to quote. Do not go to the copy and paste option on your browser.
2. Now open the post reply box. Give it a sec or two, and you will find the quote you wanted already placed inside the quote area.
3. Just place your cursor and make your own response in the same way you already are. Then submit as normal.

Hope that helps at least!

Im Getting the Reference ID thingy from QSHARK and that long number at the bottom of my page......But im hoping it will sort its self out in due time its been fine up till now.....lol
Thanks anyway fingers crossed

Well, they'll get around to it soon I'm sure ozzy... Especially as I see you drew attention to it in the new Support Forum!
And for the record Lori, if you see this, the blogs look fine again now, so thanks to all!

Hi, guys:  sorry, I was out today.  I know they released a fix that included fixing the blog post font size.  Are you still having the other issues?

Tries out the fix

Yay its fixed
I kind of miss the repeating quote now

Hi again!

Lori, the font size in blogs is fixed, ta everso  And the unrequested reply box in LiveCloud issue has gone, ta again!

Now, I would have posted this in the QShark forum... but I can't get to it... It's not showing in the channels in my black bar now...  I also have another minor irritation that I've had since I first arrived and have been living with ever since... I never bothered to post it as a problem at the time as you were all *ahem* rather busy with more urgent matters then!  

James! I think you are confusing my reply box issue with the age-old one of quotes accumulating in replies unless you delete them or refresh the page...

Hi Lori......Nothings changed for me im still getting the same message and my pages are taking ages to change, its so annoying, this has only happened in the last two days everything was fine till then. My cookies have been cleared and ive refreshed several times and its still running slow its only this site all the others are fine.

ozzy:  Sorry to ask the age-old, tired question, but what are you using for a browser?  We need the browser, AND the version.

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:

http://www.google.co.uk/chrome

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
