For the first time in a few days I looked at sent messages, and this appeared again:

Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

I can only open my Inbox by refreshing the page. Otherwise all seems okay.

I think I have managed to work out the folder system and have been sorting out my families......quite good fun really.


Hopefully the problems will be sorted out soon. :-D

When I contacted support centre, they just wrote back saying they had managed to access my message page using MY PASSWORD!! and it was fine.
But definitely NOT fine, same problems as others.

However I don't think it right for them to be able to access my page with my password, do you???
What's the point of having one if it's not secure I ask

OK, I appreciate I am a bit slow to add a response to this board. I was posting replies to the comments on my Tech Update blog, but recognise that I need to be present on here too. We're working through the issues experienced by you all, and will continue to patch release until we have cleared them.

I have been trying to put old messages in folders but find that every time I try to go to another page after moving messages, I get one of two errors. It is OK if I click on refresh before selecting another page. I use IE9.

Clicking on refresh also takes you back to the page you were working on.

I haven't be able to send any PM's since having the new message centre. The site is also very slow most of the time and sometimes get the error pages too. I feel that hings were a lot better before GR started changing things and like a lot of other members wish they would sort the problems out very soon.
My subscription is due for renewal in March but the way things are at the moment I don't think there is much point in renewing. Which will be a shame as I have made some lovely new friends and people on here.

I am still having a major problem in that I cannot read new messages in my inbox :-|. I do wish this site would get it's act together and sort all the bugs in the system out

hmmmmmmmmmm


I'm using IE6 for this, but I just went to Firefox to read and reply to a pm


....... for the very first time, I got the Error message after clicking on GR in Bookmarks.


The site couldn't be found.


Never had that when using IE6


It did find GR on the second attempt.

I seem to have resolved my problems by trial and effort and help from fellow GR member :-)

Message received, Sylvia :)

Current browser versions are IE9 for Vista & Windows 7, IE8 for Windows XP so I'm afraid that IE6 is rather dated. Web developers hated it too and most were glad to see the back of it.

I use Firefox for 99% of the time, Ver 8 being the latest full release, and find it perfectly stable. Ver 9 beta also works fine (for the more adventurous, that is.....!)

It might be helpful to members, especially those having problems, if GR could confirm which browsers and versions they have tested with.

Sylvia, I have PMmmmmmmed you back. Received your message, and the 1 Message message on my green bar is still there. So it was not your message hiding in cyberspace which caused that.

I might have solved my messaging problem


I signed on to GR through Mozilla Firefox ................. and everything seems to work OK



The problem is, that I stopped using Firefox months and months ago because I would be thrown off the site after about 5 minutes. :-(



I do like my IE6 though
