DJ360 6,721 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I still can't even log on from my p.c .. I'm convinced It's an issue with the site or the board software company ( Invision Community) I imagine Mick must have some way of communicating with them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,408 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I suspect there has been a server software update and it has screwed something. Raising a ticket with Invision support should make them aware of the problem. Col have you tried clearing you browser cache and re-booting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Thank you for your comments, CT, Brew and Ayup. The videos I watch on Facebook all show sound and (moving) pictures - it's just the ones on here that don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,408 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Marge not all the music files have movies, some are just music with static images. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Brew, I know this is the case with some of them, but the ones I mean never move at all from the first 'page'. If I slide the little red button along the play line (or whatever it's called) then I can sometimes get some different still images but not moving ones. As I said, I can view videos on Facebook OK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I wonder if there are any other people who can't log in on their computer. Vicious circle......they can't log in to tell us they can't log in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I can never get into 'What are you listening to' as my iPad just can't take it. Still, I can live without it, as I probably wouldn't play what was posted . Same with the deluge of photos, some take an age to come through, and before some clever dick suggests it, yes, I need a new iPad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,408 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I just looked at the Invision support site for Margie where they suggest trying a new private window and if it work clearing the web site data. I cannot copy/paste the text or the URL to the site, the page just goes blank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,408 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Living in carrot crunching country Fly I suspect it's more to do with your internet, perhaps you need a new pigeon! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,721 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 You should be able to clear history. Also maybe run some sort of virus/ malware type cleaner if you have them. I've tried it all here on my p.c. but still can't log on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 According to my BiL who's worked in IT, it's over usage worldwide, not just a tinpot company like Invision ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I only had problems with emojis yesterday. Ok this morning. I rarely log on from my computer. Almost always Ipad. That will not load a bunch of photos or videos so I don't try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Still can't log in via PC. And now the text controls aren't properly functioning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 i wonder if there is a digital equivalent of Clopidograll. Thin the electrons out a bit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Once you do get logged in Col, perhaps you need to stay logged in, in case you have problems again? I've just tried openg NS on our lap top and it opened straightaway because I hadn't logged off last time (which was a couple of months ago) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Well here's a surprise. A friend advised me to try getting a free VPN (Virtual Private Network) to see if that helped. The idea is that a VPN connects you anonymously to the site, so that if the site doesn't like you for some reason, it doesn't know it is you and therefore can't 'reject' you. Anyway, after a lot of faffing and not being even sure I've correctly installed a VPN, I just logged on as normal and.... here I am!! I shall now switch off, or disconnect the VPN to see if I can still log in.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Well that clinches it. With the VPN disconnected I still can't log in. Dunno whether that means I'm banned or wot...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Are you able to use all the site's facilities as normal via the VPN? I use a private network based in the UK (it's quicker and more reliable than using France Télécom/Orange) and I can connect OK but I'm restricted on anything other than the basic messaging service.

DJ360 6,721 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IM3weosOTY See if this works? Still seems to be 'saving' the Youtube link I tried to post above. This is all very weird... Anyway. Stuff to do. Back later.. one way or another... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
