| | |  Technical Difficulties
Hello Fellow SnitchSeekers!
Some of you may have been experiencing some technical difficulties with your accounts over the past several days. Some of these issues may include the disappearance of user albums, Visitor Message (VM) conversation links gone wonky, and other account-related "weirdness". Other issues may have also come up with various links around the site.
The SnitchSeeker staff is aware of the problems and we suspect the problems are due to some upgrades and changes the server folks made in an attempt to improve site performance. We are working with our server host to fix these issues and hopefully we'll be able to have them all resolved within the next couple days. In the meantime, some members have found that clearing their browser cache helps to resolve some of the issues (but not all members nor all problems get cured).
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and will keep you updated on how the fix is going.
Thank you for your patience,
The SnitchSeeker Site Elves
aka Technical Assistance UPDATE: The lovely folks taking care of our server have helped to fix the problems we've been having. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to PM me.  UPDATE 2: Links around the site may be broken due to changes we had to make in order to fix the issues made by the initial changes to make the site more efficient.  We'll be working on this new issue over the next day or two. Thanks again for your patience!  | |

Yeah, clearing my cache didn't fix the issues for me, either. I did hear at least one person fix something by doing that so I figured it was worth a shot, anyway.  | |

Ummm, I've cleared my cache, memory, history, cookies, you name it, restarted the computer and IE, but cannot access SS on IE at all. I can on Firefox however...

I don't have a fix for either of those, but I do have a workaround while you wait for things to get fixed (at least for the VM issue). The problem is the special characters in your username. The site is adding an extra dash to the URL for your VM conversations. If you remove the extra dash you can access the conversation page. (So, you'll see "...princess-of-hp--with-biochemkris..." in the URL when you click and it'll take you somewhere else, then just delete that extra dash so you have "...princess-of-hp-with-biochemkris..." and hit enter and you should be to our VM conversation page).
I'm still working to see if I can find workarounds for the other issues while we wait for the server peeps to help us sort out these issues. Quote:

Thank you guys so much for being so patient!

That is odd... I use IE more often than not and I have not had any issues accessing SS at all. Was this just in like the last hour or so that it happened?

re: the VM wonkiness, I'd just gotten around it by using two browser tabs. But maybe that way would be better. Or at least easier.
