The new Workspace is pretty cool and I like the added features. But what happened to the rest of TR after the Workspace was upgraded? Things haven't been working worth a crap ever since the so-called upgrade. The whole web site has been running pretty slow. And our old friend "Page not found" has come back with a vengeance. I'm getting a ton of those. And "Page cannot be displayed" too, which leads me to believe the server is croaking. And here's another one. On the rare occasions the "View all posts from my contacts" does load, the text is pushed off to the far right side of the browser window. The columns aren't lined up under their heading. It loads correctly at first but right before it finishes loading the text makes a beeline to the edge of the page.

I noticed that I couldn't hit your, Jason's or Sonja's blogs yesterday when I was doing my daily readings from their "My Workspace" page.

I thought you might want to get your coders looking at that.

Y'all keep your heads down with that nasty weather headed your way. We had bad windstorms here in Arid-zona this weekend, not to mention, snow in Phoenix!

by rob mekel

We had a 1+ mtr (say 3.5') of snow on Thursday/Friday, but that was in the french alps and a .5 mtr (2') on the road in the ardennes (Belgian and Luxemburg). Nasty conditions to drive in.

The workspace sure does look nice to me.
I had a couple of "Page not found" and "Page cannot be displayed" on the search/find requests.

As in Phoenix, Arizona? What in the world is up with that? That should put an end to all those theories about global warming.

Got withdrawal symptoms this morning - page not found x umpteen, wouldn't let me post, wouldn't let me get onto Workspace, didn't want me around at all, cos it also didn't have the TR Insiders option either.

But, hey Jay, this contacts bit was worth the wait! You have helped my Einstein syndrome no end! I just LOVE :x :x the "contacts online" bit!

Way to go guys! I can tell NeilB to cancel the global time/TR peeps spreadsheet!

Just one thing though......I seem to have lost 14 entries from my "who counts you as a contact" section.....

Still, the best ones are still there!

TR Insiders seems to have disappeared.

GG, what did you do to piss so many people off to make them drop you as a contact? :D

by gadgetgirl

Didn't not do nuffin at all!

The Insiders bit came back for a while yesterday, but this morning, it's the invisible link again.

Oh, and I've also lost most of my discussion history on the workspace bit too...

They're picking on me, Mark!

:(

just about melted away now, but this morning it was still powdery and blowing all over the place. Lots of drifts in unusual places!

Was fascinating watching the new baby rabbits assessing that white stuff, though!

Glad you said you couldn't get in either; I had the techies in here checking every blessed thing this end this morning!

:D

We have only had 4 continuous days of rain in london ...

Seems like we have stepped over spring this year ...

by rob mekel

So it's sunny in London, is it now! lol

Overhere (Amsterdam) it is sunny but cold (-7 C @ night). Weather forcast is giving the sign that spring is delayed by 5 weeks. (How in this cosmos is that possible)

Post from my contact though, is working fine with me. :)
And I love the contacts online part. :)
Now if there was a link on my last posts (other then clicking the keep me informed button), that would be great :)

that it is sunny in london ... It has just stopped raining ...

You have a bit of research to do about weather in England Rob ;\

by rob mekel

Sorry, was thinking after rain comes sunshine, guess that's not true for London then. :(

You had some wet conditions then, sometimes I like wet conditions :0 :D, but not outside :0 :0 :^0 ([i]oops did I really type that.[/i])

Better no sun then rain if I may choose, is it not. lol :) Rain is such a drooling weather type, doesn?t bring a good mood to me. Snow however is more the type I like. That is, when I?m not in my car but on the mountain slopes doing some skiing, special with some sunny weather. :)

edited for right typing the emoticons (very confusing now a day's)

by m_a_r_k

except in Texas. It even snowed in San Francisco yesterday. It's going to be another very spring-like day here in Texas, though. Temperatures in the 80s (about 26 C for you metrical people). Hell, I've had to mow my lawn the last two weekends.

by rob mekel

is metric about Celcius?
It's just an other form of Kelvin or Fahrenheit.

But y're right it is most used in the countries that use the metric system.

The number one feature (as I have been spamming all over TR for the last fifteen minutes) is GONE?

Tell me there is ANY other reason to HAVE contacts if I can't stalk them (I mean keep up with them)??

The discussion notifications can take HOURS, and so generally NOT good for an on-going discussion, especially in multiple threads.

by stargazerr

People have heard you ... Retrace your steps to the first chain discussion thread you started .... :D

Oh and the laugh emoticon seems to be missing ... while you are at it ... Might as well add that to your list :p

by jdclyde

like there is anything to laugh about with my link to my contacts missing? :_|

And the link that IS available STILL doesn't work!

X-(

by old guy

it takes forever to load. It's loading everything all the way back to January. I clicked on the link and just left it for awhile.

by rob mekel

that you did GG. As it maybe can cheer you up I still got some: can't find stuff popping up when requesting threads.

So I guess it is not a personal thingy. :)

And TR-staff will improve there systems and software as they get more acquainted with there new tool. (at least I hope :D :^0)

Rob

ps I'm sure they will improve.

by jdclyde

I know how you feel!

They have intentionally been taking away all the features their database showed them that I use! :0

by jardinier

I have just stumbled on the new-look Workspace and I am delighted to find that the powers-that-be at TR have actually, finally, produced something that is quite close to aesthetically pleasing.

Still too much blue of course, but not so much an assult on the eyes as previous versions.

I guess I have tuned in AFTER the various glitches mentioned in other posts.

And EVERYTHING on the website fits in with room to spare on my 800 x 600 display.

Does anyone seriously think that I am going to PAY for a flat screen when I can get a mint condition 17 in CRT free? (compliments of a tenant in my block of condos who upgraded to flat screen).
