Alice's First Discussion! Bugs!

Hi Alice and welcome aboard the discussions. There are many of us who are counting on you to set several things straight. I am aware of the following bugs: - The profile views as stated in the profile are incorrect. I promote my profile and know how many unique views it receives as they are counted on the sites that I use. The number in my profile itself is far from being correct. - I am not receiving notifiers for Best Responses. - I am not receiving notifiers ever for some discussions that friends starts while for others I receive them all. Those concerned are all set to 'on' and we have even tried removing ourselves and re-adding each other to no avail. - Tasks - why are there so many sign-up tasks when the FAQs (and a previous discussion by myLot) say that they are not allowed? - The rating system is one huge bug, especially since the last change was made. It is unfair that all users, no matter how active they are, can only be rated 11 times in one day. This is biased towards those who post less. That's all... for now

If you start responding to discussions I am sure you will know much more about bugs by own experience. Mylot is sooooo slow...it makes me remember my first year with Internet connection...in fact I am not sure how long it will take for my respond to load......

Hi Alice for the last two days I think the worst bug for me anyways is loading our posts, it just takes forever . for example I loaded a response and watched the time and it went one minute,two minutes,three minutes and the color that shows its loading was maybe three fourths of the way across and there it remained. so I gave up and went on to respond to a different discussion and lo and behold the other had finally loaded. now I was waiting for the discussion to open and the same thing happened, one minute, two minute and on and on. I do not know if its mylot but do not think its my firefox browser as I went back to internet explorer and this time mylot did not load at all, made no pretense of loading. So I tried on another site and my computer moved swiftly so it has to be something in mylot itself. I know some people complain about firefox but no I think its in mylot itself, its so frustrating as you do not know whether or not your response ever loaded until you check response I made, and its usually there. What gives?

Hi, Alice. though I'm aware there has been some bugs in mylot I would like to discuss adding a new feature to mylot so members can feel more secure and open while posting. the new feature should be a delete button along side old topics that will allow members to decide if they want to delete there old post after a 2 weeks of responds viewing, and that member may keep there earnings for there old post, I think that a lot of faithful mylot members will like the idea, and I hope that mylot will consider this idea for 2010. Thank you for giving members the chance to express there thoughts ideas, and view points. happy holidays.

I didnt find any bugs so far. In my case can I ask not reagrding bugs?

SOmetimes when I try to change my preferences, they dont save. I don't know if it is a bug in general or there is something I just havent figured out, but I thought I'd better mention it

I don't know if this could be called a Bug..But this is one option I would like to see in mylot..Editing our posts..I mean some times I make certain mistakes-it may be spelling or Grammer-and only after posting,I realize this..So it will be better if mylot provide this option..of editing our unresponded posts..

In keeping with what others report as delayed loading, a bug that may be my browser or system or may be MyLot is the multiple post error. As Hatley mentioned, I will post a response, it appears to take a million years to load, and then when I check the discussion, Lo and Behold there are from two to four copies of my one comment. It is embarrassing to me to look like I kave posted the same thing many times over.

Hi, Merry Christmas, I havent noticed so many bugs yet but next time I will be noticing it. But there are lots of mylotters whose been asking about paying sites which to my mind should not be in here, but anyway mylot is giving something also. Can you fix on that. Thanks.

Hi, GoAskAlice. I am having a hard time adding colors to my profile page. Every time I would update my profile, the colors that I have selected did not change. This is one of the bugs that I thought needed to be checked into.

I don't understand about interests. At first there seemed to be interests that covered a broad subject, now more and more I see parts of each subject being broken off into new interests. So I am confused, do I place a new discussion in the older subject category or do I place it in one of the new ones where it has broken from the original interest? Please understand that I have only been here a little over a year so what went on before I have no knowledge of.

Welcome GoAskAlice!I like to clarify whether mylot is designed for a certain browser.This I have already raised earlier in a post but I am not convinced.Will mylot run in all browsers evenly?Once I tried to change my password but it didn't work.Then I wnated to change the notifications and that too didn't work.I use firefox.

Aside from the speed issue that has been talked about over and over again. I notice when my browser crashes. (this being usually with firefox) and I'm in the middle of typing a reply or discussion, and I restart the browser and restore the session it takes me back to a blank page and gives me an error saying I have to have a ranking over 500 or more to copy and paste. Problem is I wasn't trying to copy and paste anything. Why is that? In tearms of speed I would like to point out, at least for me, I notice it more if I try to use Flock or firefox. When I Use IE, the speed is faster. It has to be an issue with mylot because other sites I don't have this problem. And, yes I've done extencive cleaning of my system, browser, and done everything to optmize my internet connection. So I know its not that. Perhaps the over use of flash adds is part of the problem? It can cause a lot of sites to lag.

Hey Alice, nice to see that you are here. This may be a thing that many people don't use, but I am interested in the blog feature, and I see that blogs can only be accepted after they are four months old. However, there are only a few blogs in the blogging feature, and when I asked around when I was new in how to add your blog to the blogging page, most often than not, no one knows about it. But because I am a blogger, it would be great if I can add my blog to mylot. My blog is around two months old. Is it possible to make the four month old limitation down so that more people can join? Thank you very much, Namelesss_

Hello Alice, I'd like to see the comments on friends profiles fixed-I've started a discussion about this & have noticed that many have a problem w/ their comments posting on friends profiles. thanks for your interest & your help |:)

At one time my anti-virus always said that myLot is a 'green' site..meaning a 'safe' site but then all of a sudden it went to 'yellow' which is a warning when looking to find out what is was it is the icons and smilies etc that are on the site, which do cause bugs and adware cookies..so that is something you could look at..also the 'words' highlighted in blue do they also cause bugs..am not sure...would love to know, it would be good if you could look into that. Happy Holidays its lovely to know we have someone who is close to Crash take over..we were all close to him and miss him...

Hi Alice! Wow, starting Christmas day! Don't get overwhelmed, we'd like you to stick around for a long long time! We have lots of stuff and suggestions to bring to your attention over the fullness of time...lol. I don't generally have many problems here, although once in a while I do notice slowness. About the only problem I've encountered is in posting pictures to discussions. I can upload pictures, give them titles, descriptions and tag lines. When I go to post the discussion frequently the picture is not there. I get no error message saying why. Sometimes I am able to add another reply to the discussion and the picture will post fine...so that leads me to think that there's nothing wrong with the picture itself. Is there a reason why this happens? It's nice to have some one here for us now. I've seen too many discussions deleted when members are simply asking other members for help. Mylotters are a wonderful resource for helpful information to other myLotters, as you've seen just in this discussion. I've frequently though it was counter productive to delete these discussions, but now that you're here I guess that becomes a non-issue.

This isn't actually a bug, but it can be considered as one. Why don't you make better copy/paste protection. If I want I can copy/paste by turning off javascript in Mozilla Firefox. I think you should make this better protected. I know I maybe shouldn't have said it, but there isn't another way to let you know that many people know and abuse this "hole" in the system.

Hi Alice, notifiers can be pretty sporadic. I respond to some peoples discussions and never receive notification of their comment. With some on my friends list this is a permanent problem, though I appear to receive all notifications re discussions started.

since being a newbie to mylot , i ahve not found any prob or bug yet.I really appretiate the work of mylot team to have such a good maintainance for such a complex and busy site where each second is for comments and deevelopement. Thanx
