Problems with site

Sparkel18 — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:02:36 GMT

This morning I was able to get the "Membership Only" games to load and play—usually I cannot but then couldn't get back to the "Community" area of the AARP site. Kept getting this message:

I tried deleting the history for the day and this did not correct the problem but when I cleared all history I was able to use my bookmark to my personal page and then log in.

Second problem:

I went to the private message area to read a message from a friend and when I tried to respond, got the following:

I finally sent her the message via private email.

The site isn't working with Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Once I cleared all history and logged back in, it works okay with my Firefox (Macintosh). But I still can't reply to a private message.

Sparkel18,

Thank you for reporting the redirecting issue. It's being addressed as I type <<big smiles>>. We have also found that clearning all history has worked too.

The issue you're having with sending a message is happening because the person you're attempting to send the message to must have this feature turned off.

What happened to my InBox? I searched everywhere and cannot find my email inbox?

I have been trying since early morning, kept getting this page cannot be displayed, finally had to log back in, even though I was already logged in, and that worked!

Haven't tried to send a private message.

Hasn't been working with Google either. Just got back on...clearing cache/cookies didn't work and running two security programs was no help, either. ~ Mimi

Well, I got to My Community ok, but when I tried the My Community Profile it did not work, got this message;

The page you are trying to access was not found, Please check your url for typos and try again.......?? My url, thats aarps dropdown....

Finally had to click on my name in one of the discussions, and got to my page that way...Seems to me whatever they were doing this morning threw a wrench into the works..LOL

We are aware of some intermittent issues with the community this a.m. and are working to resolve.

Thanks.

"Intermittent issues"... I think not! Lithium made changes and just s'd the pooch. Affecting IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Profiles, etc aren't just "intermittent issues". Lithium = Pluck, Jr. Funny that Lithium is also drug, and some of the side affects are:

* Confused
* Light-headed
* Hallucinations

Sounds like mental state of Pluck also! This must explain all the problems.

Business as has been usual for the past five or so years....first the AARP programmers, then we were Plucked, now fed Lithium. And they thought they could improve on the old Prospero program?

I think not. I tried to send you a private message and got the same message.

Sparkel18,

Thank you providing the additional information. I'm sharing your feedback and all others too. We hope to have the issue resolved soon.

I'm a member of several other boards that use software like:

* phpBB
* vBulletin
* IP Board
* SMF Board

Just to mention a few. Some of them, are maintained by a community of non-professional programmers, and they've proven to be much "professionals" then Pluck or Lithium. I know that my posting, ON AVERAGE, has tapered off a lot in the past 12 months. But the few of sites I frequent, is so much better than this site, and overall the people are much more friendly, and the "staff" is much more respectful of the membership.

The one site I like best, there are differences of opinion, like any where else; but the differences are handled in a very respectful way.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM ADMITTING THAT I STAND MY GROUND HERE, ON AARP.

But then, especially under PCE, you have members, like in just the past few days, or so, accuse others of doing what he is doing, just to try and make people think they are innocent as a new born baby. But all long term members know differently. He then calls others liars. He accuses people like TxGrandpa2 and others of taking over PCE, when in fact he, and people like him has.

I've used the "inappropriate" report procedure to tell of obvious/glaring violations of the TOS, and nothing has been done, including the individual described above. In private message(s), e-mail(s), etc, I had individual(s) tell me that they've also reported things, and that AARP has turned their back.

Some time ago (several years), I put up a post about changes in our Miranda rights, based on a SCOTUS decision, and the Moderators pulled it down, saying that it was profanity. No profanity was used whatsoever, I didn't even use words like dang, darn, or shucks!

Ok, Since the error/problem seems to be with "my old profile page" before the glitch happened...this time when I clicked on my name in a discussion, and got to my profile page, I saved it to my favorites.....NOW it works, but I have to go to my favorites, the dropdown "My Community Page" still does not work....was there a change in the code or url address of the profile pages???

What I just did using Windows 7, IE11, was open up AARP, sign out, close IE 11 then reopen IE11 and AARP. After this I clicked on the dropdown menu and opened up My Community. It is working again, for now.

Sandy FYI,

She did not have it turned off but I can now send and receive private messages to her. She was one of those people who could not access the community nor their personal page when this was first posted. Once she trashed her history and her site access returned, so did our ability to communicate via the private messenger.
