by JANEI think she's got it!
March 28 Hmmm.....If you came here from the MSN Spaces page, I have to let you in on a little secret: this is no longer an active space because the commenter is hinky - sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it works too well. Anyhoodle, for some reason MSN has put this place back on their Updated Spaces rotation even though, with the exception of this, THERE ARE NO UPDATES, MSN!
Sorry, that's the long version of why you should go HERE instead. September 30 BYE JaneWell, this is the end at least for now.
I don't have any more time to put into the fight with MSN to get things fixed here so I have moved to a new hacienda over here:
Please come visit me. I've been lonely. Ha! I AM anxious to see if anyone can comment. Is it me or is it MSN, that is the question. Okay, I'm just rambling. Go on - look over there. It's still a work in progress. I hope to get some of the bells back, never had any whistles really. September 22 The death of JaneIt's really lonely here at Jane's place. I know I have said in the past that your comments are optional but I think I lied. Either that or I just assumed there would always be a few comments no matter what I said. Well, without comments, blogging is pretty much like putting a message in a bottle and sending it off. Someone might read it but how would you ever know. It's not as much fun, that's for sure.
I don't know if my Space will ever be fixed. I am getting mixed messages from our friends at MSN mission control. They tell me that it is a problem that has been reported by others and they are working on it. But they told Weimie that it is a unique and isolated problem involving my space. I haven't heard anything from them for days. I think it is odd that they keep featuring this space on the 'Updated Spaces' area of Spaces Central when it is so obviously broken. How's that for advertising? 'Hey, you too can have a cool space like this! But, by the way, you might not be able to receive comments.' Maybe once again, I am destined to be the horrible warning instead of the good example.
Wow, I'm starting to sound like the bitter old lady whose peach cobbler scored no ribbons at the county fair. I'm feeling more like a crack addict whose connection has run dry, therefore I am doing the one thing I can do - I'm going to Spaces rehab... 5 days of internet cold turkey in the Colorado river wilderness. Gonna hike and bike and kayak, maybe. Definitely chill and throw back a few Mike's.
If the Space Patrol sees fit to return my powers to me, I will share some tales and pics and maybe even a hard lemonade or two when I get back. If not... well... maybe I will have to fire up my Blogspot. It's a little rusty but with a little bit of work I think I could move back in within no time. Does anyone else out there speak Blogspot?
All I can say is keep trying.
Peace out!
Jane
September 20 Your participation is required.My sweet friend Madge is having quite the good time making fun of my commentless blog. But being the trooper she is, she has offered to host my comments. What a gal! In appreciation for her kindness, please go over there and just leave the best blonde joke you can think of in the comments. No explanation or anything. Trust me, she LOVES blonde jokes.
I think this might go a long ways toward pulling me out of my funk so.... go ahead she's right here.
Thanks,
Jane
Update: The very observant Isabelle pointed out that the techy's were apparently looking at whyaskwhy.spaces.live.com. Which is not even my Space and contains pretty much nothing, which would explain why they thought I was hoping for imaginary comments from my imaginary friends on my imaginary blog. Thanks to that little observation and the fact that they have received reports from some of you, they are now 'looking into the matter'. Yay! I am hoping to get this cleared up so I can leave on vacation for a week and you will have absolutely nothing on which to comment anyway. Isn't that the way it goes sometimes? September 19 Feeling as supported as when jogging bralessProblem: No one can comment on my blog. Solution: Ask Windows Live support for help. Surely they would know about this. They can help, right? So I wrote to them. I answered a plethora of questions including: They wrote back: Hello Jane, Thank you for writing to Windows Live Spaces Technical Support. My name is Dana and based on your e-mail, there are people who seem to be unable to add comments to your Space. I understand how inconvenient this can be. I simulated this issue, but did not receive any error in leaving a comment. We need more details about this matter and may need to correspond with the people who cannot add comments. You may ask them to contact us about this issue so that we can assist them. We appreciate your continued support as we strive to provide you with the highest quality service available. Thank you for using Windows Live Spaces. Sincerely, Dana Windows Live Spaces Technical Support I wrote back: The unanimous problem is that when people try to comment it says They responded: Hello Jane, Me back at them: When trying to comment on either of the last two blog entries (thru the add a comment link below the blog), people get this error message: I don't know what you mean about the photos where you can leave comments. What has me confused is that I did not change any settings or even colors between when the comments worked and when they didn't work. And finally from them: Thank you for writing back to Windows Live Spaces Technical Support. My name is Hext and I understand that peaple are unable to leave comments on your Space. I appreciate the time you spent in writing back to us. Jane, we may need to correspond directly to those Members who are experiencing this issue. You may ask them to contact us about this matter and inform them to provide us with a detailed description of the issue. 1. The step-by-step procedure they did that lead to the problem. 2. Have they tried using another computer? Did they also encounter the same issue? We appreciate your continued support as we strive to provide you with the highest quality service available. Thank you for We look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Hext I am speechless. Let me think... if everyone who tries to comment, can't, will it really help for them to move to another computer???? I'm no tech supporter or ace detective but I'm thinking that is not going to be the winning solution. So, am I speaking the wrong language? Why do they keep telling me the same thing? WTF are peaple anyway? Ideas anyone? You will have to email or message them to me probably. Feel free to contact them yourselves if you're feeling masochistic. I think I better go to bed before I say something that might get my blog accidentally erased.
