        Hi, AndHenry,

        It’s RP and Spike, coming to you from the BinkyBunny Lounge. (Does that make us Lounge Lizards?) I understand you are having trouble logging on, and writing replies, in the BB site. I am posting this as a test. If you are able to open it, please reply, either in the main reply section or use the quick reply at the bottom and see if it works.

        If not, or if you read this message on Facebook (I will send it to you there) but can’t open it at all or log in, let me know on Facebook. I will tell BB who can work on a fix with you.

        I suggest a few things first: try it using Chrome, try it using Firefox, and try it using Internet Explorer. If those don’t work, or if only one does, let me know here. Try it on your desktop, laptop, iPad, tablet and/or smartphone. Let me know which, if any, works. It may be a connection that is fine with one piece of hardware or software but not what you usually use. It will help BB techie guru to figure how what kind of a fix you need.

        Either that, or tell Henry to hang up once and for all. Sammy will not make long distance calls from over the bridge.

            Hey Pam – thankyou! You are way to nice to me…. he he he!
            Ok, the problem’s I am having…..
            I log in and click on forums and I get logged back out.
            When I click on my inbox (I can see the orange pop up box) or profile it takes forever and then I get the ‘operational timed out’ page and I have to close the screen, open a new one and start all over again.
            When I go into a thread and after a read or a post and I try to go back to forums to continue on it won’t let me out of the thread I am in, so again I have to close the page, open a new one and start again.
            And in between all that, hahaha…. I get the operational timed out page and can’t post again.

            I know some people have had issues, but what I am experiencing is exceptional? I really thought it was my computer, and it could be??? but I have no issues with any other site? Why I am driving myself crazy and don’t get it? And the orange pop up box drives me insane cause I can’t get into my PM’s to stop it, hahaha! I feel SO bad cause I don’t want to upset BB – but every once in a while someone may ask where I am, and I get frustrated when I wave and call out ‘I’m here’ but no one can see or hear me cause I am reading without being logged in and I can’t reply.

            I think everyone I know knows I can’t PM, but one old member from when I first joined BB sent me a message about 2 months ago – I read it on my email – and I’m sure she thinks I’m not talking to her anymore which I find distressing. I couldn’t even tell her in the chat thread cause I know she doesn’t visit there….

            Gosh! It felt so good telling you all that, hahaha – but I feel so bad!

            PS – I have banned Henry from using the phone, he’s costing us a fortune! Bloody girl bunnies…… Don’t tell Sammy! Giggle…

              LOL! It happened after I submitted my post above, hahahaha! Sorry it took so long, but I had to close the page, open a new one to log in to be logged out to log in again, lol! I’m sure you get the idea….  LOL!

                AndHenry, that happens to me if my internet slows down if I have Binkybunny open, YouTube, My Chat room, Google translate and emails, I need a new memory card too, so everything here slows down and times out.

                  That’s true, Pinky. The more you have open the more it can slow down. Also, a computer’s performance in general can be greatly improved with some basic steps. Be sure to empty your email trash and spam daily or even more often. Run your anti-virus automatically, and Defragment your system to get rid of processes that got interrupted and don’t run as efficiently. Clear out your Recycle bin.

                  If your computer has a smaller amount of memory, like less than 2 GB, you can slow it down with added programs. If you have old programs on it, clean out ones you don’t use anymore from your Programs Files. (Uninstall, especially programs that went with old printers if you got a new one.)

                  And if you have many photos stored on your computer, put them into labeled folders, like Family, or Bunnies, and move them to a flash drive for storage to get them off your computer. They take up loads of room, are safe on an external drive that won’t get lost if the laptop crashes.

                  AndHenry, this is nothing to do with solving the problem you mentioned above. Just tips to get your computer to run faster in general.

                    Andi – which forum link are you clicking? Is it the one at the very top under the BB banner? I’m talking about the menu that also has store, blog, and videos listed. Or are you talking about the orange link in the middle (?) of the page where it also says forum preferences, search, etc.?

                      I think the more relevant question is, when are we getting new Henry photos!

                        I’ve gotten the same timed out message on a clean laptop hardwired to fast network. No other programs running. Cashe cleared. I have problems similar to Andi’s when using my android phone — the problems started when the browsers were updated. Internet connections, other processes, etc. can definitely affect speed on the user end, but it makes no sense that the problems are only with the BB site. The one problem that seems to be fairly consistent with people having problems is the pm problem — not being able to create a new pm (including not being able to search the member name in the pm “to” box). Maybe not being able to create a new pm could be related to not being able to log in? Some script getting hung when verifying the user? I know this seems to behave differently with different browsers so maybe a new default setting in the browser when the browser updated?

                          Which browser is this happening on? And if you try a different browser do you get the same results. This will help us narrow down the issue. So those of you that do have this issue, please post the browser you use (and the version if you know it)

                          Helloworld!!

                            AH— Being logged out like that has always happened to me as well. I found that clicking on the thread you want and page, then log in and reply. Usually it doesn’t log me out after I have replied.

                              I get that same timed out page often, usually early in the morning between 3 and 9 am EST. Sometimes it persists, sometimes refreshing the page will fix it right away. I use Chrome Version 44.0.2403.107 hmm as a note, I’m usually trying to open it on the “not read” link. But yea, it happens a lot, and it’s definitely a BB issue, not a computer one.

                                I’m only ever on ie or firefox; but I rarely attempt to use the “not read” button. When I do (and now currently on ie) I get the same time out message. In all honesty; I never have seen the “not read” button work for me, and usually forget that it’s even there because I couldn’t get it to ever work when I first joined BB. I will see the message if my computer is running slow or my connection is poor.

                                I have experienced being logged out after a post before, but it is few and far between; so I never really thought much of it as an issue.

                                  I use Firefox (latest version) and the only time I’m logged out is if I am in my inbox and then I try to return to the forum. That’s because the only thing to click on is “Forum” in the menu at the very top of the page (under the BB banner). Otherwise, I have not had issues with being logged out. I don’t seem to have problems with my pms, but someone did try to pm me once and it was blank. I think they were using Chrome.

                                  Every once in awhile, I get the error message after hitting submit for a post I have written. It seems to happen though when there is an issue with the forum, so not necessarily randomly.

                                    In case Andi can’t get on to see this, she’s mentioned that she uses IE and has firefox but doesn’t use it because its too slow.

                                    Phones are different, but I get the timed out message on android browser and the blank pm (can’t type in it) and no way to enter a member name to pm as well. I can reply to pm’s (usually) in firefox but can only send a new pm if I can find a person’s post in a forum and click the envelope below their avatar. Crome does nothing.

                                      JR, what browser & version are you using on laptop?

                                      I get logged off on mobile browser at times – not excessively though. Safari iOS 7.1.1

                                      Andi, I emailed you last night. I might have wrong address for you though.

                                        I can read PMs with Chrome but have to send PMs with Firefox. BB works fine with my Iphone.

                                              I don’t think it went through. It isn’t in my mailbox (sent messages) at all.
