I Want to Give Flowers, Dang It!

For some reason, the "buttons" don't always work on MMP. I'll click a question, read through, see responses I like, and when I try to "Send a Flower," it won't register my click. I also can't answer the question. Anyone else having this issue today?

Sometimes I'll return to the question later and I can answer and click just fine. Some posts work and others don't. Sigh.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Ha. I gave everyone a flower while it was allowing me to do so.

I'll just give you my home address. I prefer tulips ;-P

Like One Perfect One said, it has been an intermittent problem for years.

Just post in your 'so what happened' ALL those to whom you wish to give flowers...and then send a PM to our moderator. I am sure she will be helpful! And prompt too!

That happens to me when the tab shows a little circle moving around. It's only when the circle stops and you can see a white heart within a blue circle that I can send a flower OR write an answer to a question. Sometimes I just close out and go do something else. Irritating.

These pages load super slow. Even after the swirly disappears it is still loading. Try walking away, kick the cat, then see if the buttons work. If they still don't work I got nuttin

I have that problem often enough that I just get out of it for a few hours and try again. So frustrating though when you feel like you have solid advice to give.

No, haven't seen that so far.

I do see answers disappearing for some reason. There was a post about puppies night sleeping, and the indicator says 26 responses. But there are a lot of references in the SWH and some newer responses about 1 of the earliest ones. I went to look for that for my Daily Dose of Drama - but it's not there. Lo and behold, there are only 23 answers.

The same thing happened a few months ago when I posted a question. I read several, got a few notifications that there were new responses, and went back to find some of the earlier ones were gone.

While everyone's commenting, maybe we can make sense of all the technical glitches??

While we're at it, why can't they give us the ability to delete flowers over a period of time? If I want to just look at individual personal messages, I can't sort my in box to show just those. I love getting flowers, of course - but after a few weeks, I really don't need to go back through 14,000 pages of flowers just to find a message.

I know a lot of members think it's all gotten messed up since the ads started embedding in the first response to any question.

I'm having this trouble, too. I just keep clicking and it's eventually posted. For both flowers and posts. Yesterday, I had difficultie typing. I would type several words before anything showed up. Still slow today.

Try clearing your cache and cookies. Sometimes that works for me. Not always though. This page can get pretty buggy sometimes.

I've never had that problem, seriously.

But I'm sad to report that I rarely see your name in my flower box , so have assumed you don't like anything I say. Perhaps this is the reason...but am still OK with no flowers.

My MMP problem is clicking on my account name above and having to be very quick about clicking on the below options. Otherwise it is inaccessible. What's up with that??

SWH - yep, no flower from you still....I'll be waiting in the garden :)

I have had the same problem for a long time. It went away but came back a few days ago. Sometimes going back to the list of questions works and sometimes it doesn't. It is very annoying.

I've noticed the 'javascript void" thing is back more often for me. Maybe they are trying to work around those of us who admit to ad blockers. I only finally tried one when the site was unuseable due to so many ads.
