Yahoo Forum Archive

Is anybody else having problems going into the Archive, and clicking on a story? No matter what story I click on, it doesn't take me anywhere. Just wondering if it's my computer, or if something isn't right with the site.

Hi PipMer,

Can you clarify for me what exactly you mean by the archive? Do you mean
the site http://www.mefawards.net/mefa-archive/ ? If so, then I'm not
having the problem. I just clicked on the "Story Details" link beside
several stories, and it pulled up that page correctly. The links to the
actual stories worked for me, too.

If you could give me more information on what's not working, I'd be
happy to check if I can do it. It might also help if you included what
operating system (Mac, Windows) and browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer)
you are using.

Thanks,

Marta

It isn't you. I e-mailed Tech support about this yesterday and Aranel said she would post a somesort of announcement when she had time. She told me that there are problems with the database.

HI, Marta.  Yes, I'm referring to the archive link that you gave.  But now I"m on a different computer at work, and I can access everything now.  Must be my home computer :) 



Sorry for the false alarm.

Thanks Rhapsody!  Although now I'm on a different computer, and everything is working just fine.

Okies, the reviews and results of previous years are still offline and that is what Aranel wanted to make an announcement about. That is what I knew was not working at the archive :)

(a tad distracted)

The problem in the Archive is only related to Awards Results and Reviews. If
there is a problem accessing a story, that is an entirely different problem.

PipMer, what exactly is the problem you had? Are you getting a particular
error message or is the link not even trying to load a new page? Is this for
"Story Info" or is it the link to the story itself? If it's the link to the
actual story, did it happen only on certain stories kept at particular
archives or on all stories? What browser do you use at work? If it's only
happening at work, could you try again tomorrow and see if the problem is
still there?

Thanks,
Aranel

I was able to click on several stories, read, and review them. It always
brought the new story or review page up in a separate window, but that's how it
worked last year and the year before as well, so that was no surprise for me.

Hi, Aranel....



The problem was only occuring on my home computer, and my brower is Internet Explorer.  However, today I used Mozilla Firefox, and everything works great.



But for your information:  I wasn't getting an error message, it just wasn't loading when I clicked on a story. It was any story that I clicked on.  It was the link to the stories themselves that wasn't working.



But as I said, everything works when I use Mozilla Firefox.

Hi PipMer,
Are you still having the problem on your home computer? If so, which version
of IE do you use at home (5, 6, 7 or 8)? Are you running XP or Vista? Have
you had the problem on other sites or just the MEFA Archive site?

Thanks,
Aranel

Hi, Aranel.



I only have problems on my home computer if I use IE (we just switched from 7 to 8).  If I use Mozilla on my home computer, everything is fine.  We run XP.   And now that you mention it, I had problems leaving reviews at Syories of Arda with IE, but not with  Mozilla.

Hi PipMer,
I can't get IE 8 to run (I'm trying to run it in XP in Virtual PC on my
Macintosh) so currently I have no way to test the problem. But if you've had
problems at other sites with IE 8 while Firefox works fine then I suspect it
may be a browser issue. I will do some research and see if there are any
known problems like this with IE 8 and if there is a fix available. All I
can suggest for a fix at this time is to continue using Firefox at home.

Thanks,
Aranel

The problem may be that the security level on her IE is set too high. I tried
upping security on mine two years ago and found I couldn't go to FF.n at all,
and had difficulties getting on other sites and boards. Once I dropped it back
to average it began working again.

Hi Bonnie,
How was it behaving when it blocked FFNet? Did it give you an error page, a
blank page, or alert pop-up, or did it just refuse to load the new page at
all? It would make sense as far as this problem is concerned, but it seems
very odd that it would occur for every outside site you try to go to
(Stories of Arda, Open Scrolls, HASA, etc.) Then again, this is IE... :-\

Thanks!

Am trying to remember how it behaved. Seemed it was mostly giving me blank
pages where the page just failed to load at all.

Now, I had some problems yesterday getting pages to load, but it was because the
auto-downloader was grabbing resources. I was trying to download a .pdf file so
I could print out a form I needed to submit, and Adobe wanted to upgrade itself,
but wasn't posting the query properly as to whether or not I wanted to do so.
Until I closed almost everything down it wouldn't allow more than one webpage
download and display at a time; then, finally with only one webpage showing it
posted the query as to whether I wanted to update. Once I said no it
automatically brought up the .pdf file properly and I found myself able to have
three or four pages all open at the same time while the printer gave me hard
copies of the .pdf file. Sometimes the auto-download features are a real pain
in the behind to deal with.

There have been a lot of people complaining about IE8 being totally full of bugs and not working worth a dang since it was first released.... Microsoft is catching heat for once again releasing a product without adequate testing and leaving it up to the public to do their beta work for them. People can get pretty nasty when they pay for and upgrade that not only doesn't work well, but in some instances has damaged their system to the point where they have to slick their hard drive *Ooops*.

Firefox not only is FREE, It is also a more stable and secure browser than any of the IE versions, so never use IE at all anymore myself, but it's up to you.

Hi PipMer,
I can't get IE 8 to run (I'm trying to run it in XP in Virtual PC on my
Macintosh) so currently I have no way to test the problem. But if you've had
problems at other sites with IE 8 while Firefox works fine then I suspect it
may be a browser issue. I will do some research and see if there are any
known problems like this with IE 8 and if there is a fix available. All I
can suggest for a fix at this time is to continue using Firefox at home.

Thanks,
Aranel

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the input on this problem, Bonnie and Cactuskim. Poking around
online, it does look like IE8 may still have some "issues". So PipMer, if
it's not too much of a hassle I would recommend just sticking with Firefox
at least until there is an update to IE8 that would hopefully fix some of
its problems. You may want to try some of the things Bonnie suggested, too,
such as with the security levels. If you do continue to use IE8, please keep
us updated on how it's working and if you're having any other problems pop
up.

Thanks,
Aranel
