Hello to Jim, MOD 4 and MOD 5


I hate to be a pest but of late my posts have been dropping out when I type them and I have to start over. I’m not sure if it’s my several year old phone or a glitch in the MC site. I’d appreciate it if you could look into it.

Thank you a bunch.

What kind of phone are you on? Is it an iPhone? and if so, are you using safari?

If yes to all of those, download the duckduckgo app and try that. It should fix it.

reply

I answered yes to all your questions.

But it’s not an add that show up. Still worth trying though.

Thanks Vince

I have a refurbed IPhone and am using Chrome.

I’ll try DuckDuckGo👍

Thx!

reply

Make sure you download the app. Just using the browser doesn't work.

Signed, million man.

Thx Amigo.
I’m an idiot with tech, I’ll get my boy to help me, he just got home from school and driver’s ed so he’s tired right now.

reply

I have the same issue. It’s pretty annoying when you’ve typed out a response then the page refreshes before you finish and you’re back to square one 😖

reply

It sure is!
Trusted regs have mentioned DuckDuckGo so let’s give it a shot.

reply

I will! I’m also on an iPhone using Safari so I’ll give Vince’s suggestion a go 👍

reply

Vince is a good dude, knows his stuff and he’s honest.

Off topic but you might enjoy stonekeeper’s Movie Chat Movie Club every Friday and Saturday and the ZOOM MEETS we often do afterward. It’s a really nice bunch of posters with some interesting takes on the films we all watch together.

You could meet Vince and other fun people👍

reply

Aw awesome, thanks so much for that suggestion, sounds like fun! I don’t know if the time difference might rule me out of the Zoom catch-up, I think we’re about 11 hours ahead of you down here, but it’s really nice of you to invite me. Thanks man 🙂

reply

Oh, one of our Australian friends?

Most Americans hold Aussies in high esteem, you folks down under are loved✌️

Thank you all for being terrific!

reply

Close…. I’m from New Zealand, that’s why I sent you that link for the Hobbiton tours when you mentioned you’d like to live in the Shire 🙂

reply

DuckDuckGo all the way!

reply

I'm a believer.

Signed, million man.

reply

I should buy shares.

reply

As often as you recommended it, I'd agree.

Signed, million man.

reply

Thank you for bringing this up.

I have the same issue and it is very unnerving.

I’ll be Writing a post and then there’s a message that pops up for half a second that I can’t even have the time to read and it’s written in small prints and then my page refreshes and there’s no way for me to go back to what I was writing.

I gave up on dozens of posts and had to rewrite 100 more.

Please help!

reply

Perhaps a solution to that is to type it out somewhere else first and then cut and paste into here when you're done?

reply

Yep, I did think of that but keep forgetting about it. Thanks for the tip though!

reply

I have not run into this but one thing I have noticed over the last 2 to 3 days is when I hit "jump to latest" at least if it's a particularly long thread, it won't go all the way to the latest post and I have to search for it. It's like it just can't quite get there.

Not a big deal but I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this, too.

reply

For me it does jump to it but you have to scroll right because it's condensed.

Signed, million man.

reply

Thanks! I run into situations like that too but other times it'll just scroll down to a post from several hours ago and I have to keep scrolling down the page to get to the most recent one.

reply

Yes. That has been happening to me as well.
I love MC, I do not mean to bitch and moan, MC is the only site I constantly visit but that too is a weird bug we seem to have here.

reply

No, but I've gotten that with notifications. It won't scroll to the one I clicked on.

reply


Getting OT, but I hate posting on a phone. I only use my laptop for posting to forums.

reply

I tend to use my phone, a laptop won’t fit in my pocket LOL!

Hey, try to join us for MovieChat Movie Club on Fridays and Saturdays, we watch films together and very often have a face to face ZOOM meet afterward. These Regular posters are really intelligent, thoughtful and fun people.

Come aboard!

reply


I'll consider it Sho!

reply

Please do!
The more the merrier.

The Regular attendees are really fun people and quite smart about films.

reply


Fun and smart and you think I would fit in??

reply

A perfect fit😄

reply

Careful !
Do not ask more of thy benevolent overlord this season
did he not free us of the scourge of the slow site epidose this very moon?
The lord Jim may grow weary of his adoring subjects lest they pray too much and overload his post-it holder

All we can add is to delete your cookies & cache, log out, restart the browser and log back in again.

Thanks, lots of classy folks here including you👍

Wouldnt hurt to try a different browser too.
