Computer Problems

I am having problems visiting your blogs, writing on my own, and leaving comments. I don't know if it's my computer, the wi-fi at my daughter's house, or blogspot. Anyone else having problems?

Blogger wimped out for a few minutes this morning. That's it for me.

When people have their settings for comments on the same page as their blog, I cannot comment. I've tried but it doesn't work. But blogs like yours with a separate page for comments are perfect for me.

I don't know why that is...
Maybe I should look at my settings too.

I think that blogger must be experiencing technical difficulties. I tried all weekend to upload two videos, with no success. Maybe we should all send them a note.

Over the past few days when I visit SOME sites I'll get that scary sound like I did something wrong and says I have to close that site. Hmmmmmmm. Must be in the water.

Story of my life LOL - it's all BLOGGER. We're all having trouble leaving comments, actually seeing comment forms, loading blogger pages and so on! I've had this trouble off and on for weeks now, yesterday was the worst and I got so close to looking for a different place to blog because I couldn't even see my own blog for the whole morning. They keep saying "working on the problem" at the "known issues" blog, but it's getting silly now! At first it was just with IE, but I've uninstalled IE, installed Firefox, same problem...so I uninstalled Firefox, installed Google Chrome...same problem. It's a crap shoot at this point and it peeves me off! Not your pc or your connection, you're not alone!

Some tips: Like Phoebe said, if you switch your comments form to "full page", usually that works so people can leave comments, also, if you have the Followers Gadget at the bottom of your page or gone completely, that works to gain access to the blogs, but you have to convince other people to do it! I couldn't get into Lille Diane's blog for a week and I asked her to move her Followers gadget, and now I can get in...

Sorry for the book, I just wanted to pass on info to others since it took me days to find it myself!

After reading all the comments I feel blessed that I've had no problems (although I've probably just jinxed myself!)

LOL, I have another tip, if you really want to read a person's blog, there is a way to do it if you can't do it by clicking directly on their link. If you have the blog's address, copy it and then do a google search, example "rain-mountain-mamma.blogspot.com" + blog, my page would normally show up in the results, then instead of clicking on the link, click on "cached"...the latest page should load so you can at least read it, but you will probably not be able to comment.

That's if you're really in a pinch!

I updated my browser and made my problems worse. I keep getting error messages and have to refresh constantly. And at least one I follow doesn't even show up on my dashboard! I think it's global warming!

Meeko Fabulous said...

Hi there! I've been having problems leaving comments the last couple of days too. :( Sometimes I have to go directly to your blogs because the latest don't show up in the 'Blogs I'm Following' tab.

Joanne said...

We've been getting a weird pop-up often on blogs and it won't stop multiplying until you manually shut off the computer. This happened on several computers, not just mine at home, so something's definitely "off" with blogger.

Verily I go. said...

Mzzlily, I'm still laughing. Meeko used to kick me out all the time, some error then dumped....no more. NOW, I'm kicking myself out. THEN my mouse wanted new batteries and pages loaded themselves. So far today ??sshh...I think I'm ok. Sorry for your frustrations.

Jo said...

I have noticed Blogger has been acting sort of wonky lately.

re: Computer Problems
Could not post a second comment this morning, also could not send a zip file and email for two days, think it finally sent this morning.

Have enjoyed reading your blog

Yes, we can

CrazyCris said...

I might be jinxing myself by saying this, but I haven't had any problems at all! Fingers crossed that it stays that way!

ellen abbott said...

I haven't had any problems. I use Safari.

Lisa said...

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I haven't experience anything yet. Will let you know if I do. :)

Anonymous said...

yeah sometimes that happens to me. I think its a blogger glitch.

Brian Miller said...

not the net, but first time i got my computer to work today. would not come on for some reason. bizarre. hope all clears up for you soon!

Natalie said...

Yes, i have had a few occasions where i can't leave comments, or go back to read a response, and my comment wasn't there. I also can't upload my photos, if someone is leaving a big comment on my blog at the same time.

It is especially annoying when I write a huge comment and it just won't publish. I just give up.xx♥

lolit said...

don't worry it will surely be alright soon. we don't have the same problem here. there must be some technical problem over there.

Alicia @ boylerpf said...

I must be one of the lucky ones...knock on wood. I haven't had a problem yet. Hope it gets fixed quickly!

TheChicGeek said...

I've been having trouble opening up some sites....Must be the full moon....
Mother nature is messing with our computers! LOL
Speedy recovery wishes to you!

Pyzahn said...

Knock on wood...all is okay on my end.

Thanks for your kind words on Prattle.

Same problems here. Some sites start to come up and then "error" sign comes up and says "operation aborted". What's that about? But it's only certain sites. Frustrating. Is someone working on this

robert said...

Nearly no hair left to pull out - as you can see, there have to be problems too, here with me.
Will have a cup of green tea and sit it out, in front of me old desk.
Please have on your own a pleasant day.

Adiya said...

Sorry about that. But welcome to my life :o(

Reya Mellicker said...

No problems here but it's a nice excuse for you to take a short break. See you on the flip side!

Anonymous said...

Me again LOL. I found something that works for me. When I get "operation aborted" or "page cannot be displayed", all I do is log out of blogger and gmail, then restart my browser and go to the blog and I don't get the errors and I can post comments. Hope that helps you while Blogger fixes the bugs.

Marguerite said...

I had that "operation aborted" on my blog in January, but only on Internet Explorer. Just hit the back button, when this pops up and it usually corrects it, then loads the page. But, I later found out that it was a piece of html code on my site that was causing it to happen. As soon as I removed that code, it stopped. It could be a link to another site, also. Check your code, especially something you may have added right before it started.

i am having trouble reading comments before approving them, but nothing too drastic xx
