Earlier today we fixed a problem that we were notified about last night. The problem, though, is that that issue had been happening for almost a week!
If You Find a Problem with the Site, Let Us Know! Don't assume that we know about the problem, unless we mention it here in the Announcement forum.
If we don't hear from you, we may not know that the problem is happening.
Often times, these problems are very minor, and are limited to a specific browser or operating system. We can usually fix them right away.
How To Notify Us of the Problem - Get in touch via the contact us link at the bottom of all pages on the site.
- PM me.
- Create a thread in this forum and let us know what is happening.
Some Keys in Letting us Know What is Wrong - Make sure you are DETAILED in your message.
- Include the URL of the page in question of what is wrong.
- Include the Browser (IE, Firefox, Safari) your are using (including version) and the Operating System (Windows Vista, Windows XP, OS.X, etc.).
- Send us a screencast of the problem as it happens on the site. This is VERY EASY to do using the free website: http://www.screenr.com/. Just go to that site and click record. In a new tab or window on your browser, open BiggerPockets and demonstrate the problem. Finally, email the video to us at the address above.
Anyone else losing their monitored topics every few days? I go back to the thread and I see new posts but find out I am not monitoring the topic anymore. Topics that I use to get email updates on are not sending out emails no longer as I lost the monitoring of the thread.
The last few days I seem to hit a point where scrolling will not go past a certain point. I can refresh, and the newer posts will refresh, but I can still only scroll to a limited number of records.
I am also seeing the duplicated posts. Especially after clicking the button that shows more posts, that first group seems to always be duplicating listings above.
im having the same issue as Johnson H. above. I don't seem to get email updates on the topics that im monitoring or emails on "keywords" that I have chosen.
@Joshua D., I don't know if anyone is seeing this, but i am seeing it on many newly created posts. it will say it has it has a few responses, but when you go into it, you don't see any. It is like no one ever posted. here is an example which is Here . I tested it on Chrome & IE and I did it on multiple windows PCs.
@Shawn Thom - Thanks for reporting the issue. We did have a problem with one of our servers and have since corrected it. Everything should be working as planned.
I was scheduled to attend the webinar that is going on right now, but I never got any notifications with the URL. I got my ticket last week. I do get notifications when I receive a new message from members or from Brandon. I also checked my spam and nothing was there.
On my Surface Pro 3, the logon drop down doesn't operate correctly. It appears when clicked on, but then disappears before I can get the cursor in the fields.
For some reason I had a couple colleagues showing up twice on my colleagues list. So deleted one - and it deleted both of them. I went to send another request to get them back on my list but it shows we are already connected. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Got another one related to inbox. I practically live in my inbox and would love to have a way to sort, filter and file. Barring that, be able to download?
But that's not the problem......Lately My New Colleague requests notifications have been down. That is to say I can't look at my inbox to see which ones I've responded to yet or not. There used to be an indicator in the inbox drop down:
Along with the Vote Alerts @mentions and keyword alerts. Clicking the alert would take me to the page where I could see all unanswered colleague requests. But currently, it says I have none:
Which is a problem, because I went through and counted quite a few from my inbox:
The result being that I have HUNDREDS of conversations all titled "New Colleague Request" and no good way to see if I've answered them or not. Going backward a few pages there are requests in here a week old, so it's been at least that long since this functionality has been missing.
Can you please restore the alerts or the page they're supposed to be on?
(And possibly consider giving Power Users a little more control over their inbox?)
Hmmmm....Now that I look closer, the messages are missing the buttons for "accept request" etc. So maybe they aren't registering as colleague requests?
Here's one from four days ago. I never answered or accepted, he's not a pro member so didn't just send me a PM title New Colleague Request. When I go to his profile, it says we're not connected and offers me the ability to send a colleague request.
So it would appear that my colleague requests are not showing up as colleague requests, but rather as ordinary PM's with no means for me to accept (or track).
Here's one that I have had over the last couple of days - will screen shot it the next time that it occurs - Website Experiencing Heavy Load - is displayed and I am unable to even get to the landing page. I have never seen this before for BP, perhaps it is all of the New Year's resolutions being realized at once, but it appears that the servers are struggling to keep up.
Hey @Brett Johnston - Next time you see that, please note what time it is and let us know. You shouldn't be experiencing that at all, but it is still happening at random times. We're working to mitigate it.
