SWharton Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 How do I contact tech support? I tried "Staff" and that did not enlighten me. My problem is I get very few notifications. In the past every thread I participated in would send me notifications. Now I rarely get any notifications and only know of a response if I go specifically to a thread and see it. I haven't changed anything and checked to make sure I had everything set up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big5er Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Click on your picture in the upper right corner, scroll down to "settings". On that page, right hand side, is "other settings" and under that is "notification settings". Look in there. Does that show you want you want?

SWharton Posted November 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Yes it does. I noticed it several weeks ago. I have all notifications turned on. I didin't even get a notification that you sent this and it is clearly checked to "notify me of any replies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Way down near the bottom of the main forum page is a place to report bugs. Linda Sand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWharton Posted November 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks Linda. I don;t think I ever went to the bottom before. Does anyone else get this message? I get it frequently when trying to post. I repost and everything works. ERROR The request could not be satisfied.

scouserl41 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I've been sending them messages for months with no reply. I can't figure out why I can't post to the SPK blog section when I get other peoples posts and often 3 or 4 copies of the same post. I get a fatal error message every time which I copied into the message I even called in at Livingston but was told to "Go to the website and send them a message" No reply and no acknowledgement of receiving the messages. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWharton Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I never heard of Cloudfront until this message came up. I thought it was on the Escapees end. Only occurs with the Escapee site. Just like I can't print from the Escapees site without a lot of blank paper. Browser is Firefox. Escapees need to realize how many members this site brings into the organization and give it better treatment. I use the ATT Mobley as my mifi.

SWharton Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I doubt if there are any statistics on that but I have been following many different conversations over the years and the forum seems to be a starting point for many Escapees, first time they have heard of the organization is when the Google a problem and the site shows up.

After that hit 'F5' (that refreshes the screen) and I will see my post even though it doesn't look like it posted. I also run Firefox....... edit: I just had to do the F5 thing on this post!

It is the proper way as every push of the submit button adds another copy. That slow response is most likely a host problem but I'll make sure that the admin is aware of what is happening, just in case they aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a setting that can be set to allow members to delete their own posts for a set amount of time. Most set it so that a disgruntled member cannot go back and delete all their posts. Yes, that does happen. I have had it happen on one forum I used to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 3 minutes ago, SWharton said: How did you learn about F5??? The f5 key is and has long been a refresh key. Speaking only for myself, I don't recall when I first learned to use it, but in the present situation I began to experiment when I first had the slow refresh problem. I was highly suspicious that was what was happening as I tried hitting submit again as a test and soon learned that you would get the number of posts of the times you hit the button. To me that said that it was posting every time, just failing to refresh. Since I can hide my duplicates, you never saw them but they did happen. One try with f5 and BINGO!

Chalkie Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Here is a list of Windows shortcut keys for Windows 10. A lot of these keys go back to Windows 98 and maybe even earlier. There are a lot of them, some I use and some I don't but when you find ones that you like you will use them often. Shortcuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I knew about some but it seemed to me they keep changing them around. F@ had been to turn your wifi on and off, now I it is under PrtScr. F8 to start your computer in SAFE? mode totally disappeared. Other things have moved around also, I think I gave up trying to keep up. Tired of hitting the wrong keys. I'll try F5 next time I have the problem(which is daily but random). I see other people with multiple same posts so I think the problem may be more widespread than just me.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm making this assumption because after clicking the Submit Reply tab, there's a long pause along with that tab showing Saving. Sometimes I'll wait for the action to take place, but after about 60 seconds I'll discover that I am no longer logged in. I only add this post in case Tech Support is monitoring as it doesn't seem to be the same issue of the OP. I'd like to participate, but it's to frustrating. In your case try the F5 trick.
