When will the Forum be properly working again?

[rabbitsfizz]

Just asking- no pictures, no emoticons- quite a few of us are in the same boat here....

I was having issues as well. I had to sign out, clear all of my history/caches on my computer, then come back and sign in. It fixed the problems I was having. Before I did this, I was getting a message that my post was empty, even though I had already written something, and when I signed out, the forum wouldn't let me sign back in. I had absolutely no problems with posting from my cellphone though.

 

[REO]

It finally worked for me to log out and back in again. Whew!

 

[rabbitsfizz]

I had all that problem with the "post empty" thing, all that is OK now. The ongoing problem is no photo posting and no emoticons- nothing above the post box at all, it is all "hazy"

 

[Marty]

Good morning Fizzy ( )

 

[JAX]

I also was having problems with the "empty" posting... I tried different threads and then came back and it worked...IDK

Yep also cannot still use emoticons and now am wondering if this will post or if it will accuse me of trying to post an empty one again. Here goes

lol well at least I can post now!!!

 

[rabbitsfizz]

Good Morning Marty- I have just tried log in out and in again- to my utmost surprise I was able to remember my password! Did not let me access the toolbar on the reply, though, so, still glitches.

See this is why I hate it so much when you mess around with <i> my </i> Forum!!!!

I'm able to post since I hit reload / refresh yesterday. The smiley faces don't work for me except for the ones I know how to type... I bet it will be all working good soon, though, and there are some pretty nifty enhancements

 

[JAX]

So aparently I am missing something... what are the "nifty enhancements"??? I am pretty bad about figuing them out unless someone points them out to me!

 

[rabbitsfizz]

I agree- little point to having good things if we do not know about them. Done all the refreshing I can bear- I am completely refreshed- still nothing....

 

[Jill]

New boards, new graphics, new ways to search, like buttons, ETC............................... and hands down, the best online resource when it comes to small equines.

 

[REO]

Same thing here Jane. Until my computer shut off and I restarted it. When I have to restart, I get logged out of everything I'm into. When I logged back in, the smilies etc were no longer whited out! Did you restart your computer? Clear the cookies?

I have a cute little "staff" thingie now I noticed

No problem here posting, but I never do anything fancy.I seem to be logged in anytime I turn on my computer.I don't turn off power at night-monitor just goes to sleep when I go off internet.I am not real computer savy, but I am addicted to this Forum and get lots of great advice from here.Although I have not met amny of the people who post here I feel like I know them and we are friends with such a common bond in our love for these great little horsesl.

There is always a cookie problem after every version upgrade and this one is no exception, I'm sorry!
I had one of the exact same reported problems but with my computers settings
and purging my cookies and cache it was over with in less than a hour, except for the expanding emoticons list. That is still not completely
opening but with the link they pop up in a box just fine. I am workingon fixing the other.

Depending on your operating system, personal settings etc. etc. the cookie log usually resolves itself pretty quickly on it's own.

If you are having a problem with the reply editor, after deleting your cookies click cancel then try again..... click reply,
press ctrl then f5 and wait for the page to reload. when it does choose more reply options and do it again.

Gee, no problem here. I've had those troubles before when forum did updates but this time (knock on wood), I don't seem to be having any. I'm on here signed in on the 'puter, which like bevann, never goes "off" and on my ipad where I have to "log in" every time.

Today is the first time I have been on my PC in two weeks--otherwise I have just been using my iPhone so I couldn't comment before now on how things work when it comes to posting pictures or using the smilies. Everything is working as it should be--I have the picture button and everything else at the top of the post box, and I have access to all the smilies. So, all seems to be good here!

 

[KanoasDestiny]

I have a cute little "staff" thingie now I noticed

Me too! But mine only shows up on the Reading Forum - it says "Reading Circle Board Leader".

 

[Jill]

Deleting my cookies (as directed to do so right here) brought back my smiley icons. I'm using IE 9. I think you can just do an internet search "how to delete cookies" and the name of the browser you use. Reset the computer, then follow the directions you learn. It brought the smiley back to me

Thanks for posting this! I've been itching to post on topics but have been unable too!! Now I'm playing catch up and I'm a posting fool on the new sub-forums! LOL!

This should do the trick for most, if not all (??? what browser ???) of us...
