h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

At first, I thought 'oh, I can't see my own conversations' when both my pop-up window and my MP list displayed this error message:

'We Apologise for the Inconvenience
The following error occurred: An unknown error has occurred'

Then I discovered I can still see other researchers' MP pages.

And then I tried to access my MP list <./>MP135628</.> first thing when opening my browser, without even logging in, and I *still* get the same error message, but *still* only for my own MP list, not those of others.

I've tried this out on two completely different computers (different Windows versions, different browsers, one private, one at w*rk).

Currently, the *only* way I can see if someone has posted to the conversations I'm subscribed to is to reload my user page over and over again...

How odd. I hope it gets resolved soon.

Btw, I just checked and got the same result for your MPpage.

Hope it's not contagious.

So it really is just *my* conversations?


What have I
What have I
What have I done to deserve this?

I'm not sure what this is. I'll report it right away. Hold tight.

Hi we're having a look at this
In the mean time you can see your most recent ones by adding some skip and show parameters, so might be something to do with the next post

Thank you, that works!

OK, don't know which Italic fixed it in the end, but my pop-up conversations' window works again, making it soooo much easier to keep track of new postings.

and to all involved

Oops, seems I spoke too soon - I can only view the first page of my pop-up page and MP page. Clicking on 'Older Postings' still brings up the error message.

For now, try changing the 'show=18' to 25 and 50 and so on. It just might work

Only works until 39 - from 39 and up I get the error message again.

Flippin' 'eck!

That's not on. It must be 42, at least!

I've just viewed and you cannot pick up 'show=25'

But can you pick up 30 and 40 then 50. I've got it to go upto 100

Considering how quickly some conversations drop in my list, I'd be devastated if that happened to me.

Hope it'll get fixed soon, Ti.

Ooops, now my pop-up window gives the error message again after having worked beautifully all day yesterday (Tuesday), and no matter what &show number I try for my MP page, I also get the error message.

Back to loading and reloading my user page for now, it seems - but how to access those conversations that were last posted to more than 13 hours ago, like this one? Had to trawl my way back starting with the <./>Feedback</.> page (which was the only one I remembered the name of).

OK, pop-up and MP seems to w*rk now, here's hoping it's not temporarily this time

Have you been upsetting Elton the ?

He doesn't like sharp, pointy things pushed through the bars

No sharp and pointy things, but I did sneak in some s to him - could the sugar rush have caused something?

Could be. Could be.. hmmm....

*rubs chin*

It'll happen when you comment on a thread where the over lying article/forum title has some special characters in it.( in this case, I believe) Character escaping issues - we have a fix which will be rolled out with the next update. Sorry and thanks for your patience
