I'm voting but the heart shape doesn't record it...tho it darkens shows 1...but then goes back to zero after posting...but remains vivid in colour.
also inspite of waiting for the cursor to appear ...which it does eventually...I almost always have to press 'send'..and must await the message 'you must enter some text' before i can do so.
anyone else having either of these probs? or others?
Maybe it is your computer?
Are you voting for patient.ci.uk or the person posting.
Yes it does take time sometimes but I just go on to the next email and it still goes through. Don't worry xxxx
No, a bit slow and hangs sometimes. Recently I have rescued my efforts on my iPad by scrolling up so the new text leaves the screen and when I scroll back the cursor is working.
I have issues too, but often turn off my computer and restart and it seems to help things, like things get hung up and slow too. then there is the modertion thing....
I kept getting a message recently when I pressed send after writing a text--it said error (internal server error), and when it finally went through after 3 or 4 attempts, I had numerous moderation messages (which are still on the thread even though my message was released). Confusing!
thanks george...well this reply is working...so thats good!
so not brill but you don't have to go thro the ritual of waiting for the cursor and the apple...then the writing entered is light grey and you have to press reply and allow for the rigmarole of awaiting the announcement that you must enter some text...whereafter it then works as the words 'enter text' disappear....and then you can write ? Without your initial effort then disappearing?
Phew! Anyone else had that?
Great opportunity to practise patience!!
ok that sounds similiar to me...except its working now....which is great and much appreciated.
maybe there is an auto cancel going on for duplicate messages...which you've come up against?
Perhpas it was the auto cancel, but I didn't think that I pressed send as many times as I received moderator messages. Wondering why those weren't removed when the original message was released and my comment about the moderations was removed.
curiouser and curiouser...def something wrong!
I get this too and everything is so s l o w...is it my computer or this site?
That happens to me, but only if I stay on a page too long.
This is what I do to get around it... it is a bit laborious though. I type out my question, answer or message in Word. Then Copy it, Save it (just in case if I need to restart). Then come back to the main message and copy my Word document paste it back into the message window!
Some of the errors are down to traffic at peak times, not necessarily people, but like the error suzanne00 mentioned Internal Server Error, there is normally a number after this error normally beginning with '5'. Basically, the server is running on high resources due to traffic.
Some errors are caused by Javascript being disabled, if this happens then any code using Javascript or jQuery will not run, hence more errors, but client-side, not server based.

thanks les...
not sure i could face that....don't have word but might try with notebook if i know i'll be writinga long message.
just had to press enter again ...to clear the instruction....before being able to write.
THANKS EVERYONE. NOT ENOUGH TO NOTIFY ALAN? OR SHALL I ?
Hi Les,
Thanks for the reply. I also try to remember to copy before pressing send, just in case there is a glitch--too painful to write a long message, only to have it disappear, or go to moderation because I forgot to screen out a name. I just press copy on my computer after bluing the text though, rather than using a Word document, though both will work. Also a question: when you say that the internal server message is due to high traffic on the server, do you mean my browser, the UK server, or the website? I guess that I'm not sure exactly what the server is. Thanks. --Suzanne
Hi Suzanne00,
Actually, it means various things, unless you know how to use servers, you wouldn't know what the terms mean, but I will gladly tell you.
The server is what the website is held on, with this website it is in Ireland, yes it does say UK at the end, but that is where it was registered. You can host a website in the USA and still have a UK address, most of the time its the prices on server costs.
High Traffic = If there is a lot of people on the site at the same time it causes the site to slow down, which in turn causes errors.
But at the moment with all the issues in the current news, sites are also being attacked by what is known as "bot's" - these can take sites offline, and hackers use them. Many people do not even know if their computers are even infected. There is even intelligent viruses now that change their names before being detected by Anti-virus programs, the chances of removing these are slim.
Regards,
Les.
Hi Les
Those viruses that change their own names. Sounds very like cancers. They change their own DNA leading to changes in treatment to resume killing or slowing them down.
don't know...but i can't give you a vote...it doesn't work!
little buggers!
I'm not happy with my Doctor at the moment. I went to see her, and because I cannot go up stairs, she said we'll have to use a downstairs examination room. I thought fine.
But after that she forgot to put my repeat prescription through - had to chase it up, then found she had sent me to the phamarcy with a womans prescription!!!
She booked me in for the 3 Ultra-violet scans.
She booked me in for 4 blood tests to be done last monday!
Well, I turned up last Monday for the Blood tests, all computers were down, could make another until their systems are backup.
Oh, and my wife was given the wrong prescription for herself, it was for some other guy.
Doctors arfe useless sometimes, and I'm on a trial Personal Care Plan, from the gov't.
Regards,
Les.
