    Chrome and Explorer issues

    Lately, I can't post messages when I use Google Chrome. I get a message about my message being too short by two characters. I've never posted a message shorter than the word welcome. As bad as it was yesterday, today is worse.

    I tried to post using explorer and today it won't accept my password or ID. Good thong I have an Android phone and that is still working.

    I assume there were problems with the last update? Any idea when these problems will be resolved?

        I have had the too short message using Firefox as well. I always though it was a server thing.

        What surprises me the most is that people actually still use IE!

          As a canon tech you have to use IE when dealing with the tech support site

              I've been told that it is a long and time consuming process to change those systems over. I'm not an expert on the topic so I have to go with what they are telling me and that those changes are coming soon.

                Did you try a different PC with IE and Chrome? It could be something with your computer.

                I use Chrome all the time, and have no issues with the site. Firefox works OK, too, as well as (yuk) IE.

                  If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                  1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                  2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                  3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                  4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                  5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                    I have had the same problem with Firefox on occasion. It just went away. Very rare though.

                          Darn you auto-correct! Still having issues with Chrome, but have worked out a temporary work around. (BTW this is regardless of whether I use my work PC or home PC. So it's not the PC.) Work around: Type the message, click submit, get box that says data may be lost and it gives you two options: 1) leave the page or 2) stay on the page. I choose stay on the page, click submit again, and usually my message posts. I use CTRL+C to copy my message just in case. If I choose leave the page the editor comes back up, but my message is gone and there is a note above the box stating my message was 2 characters too short.

                            that is very odd. Have you tried creating a new account just to see what happens? You might need to get the Administrator involved.

                            What OS are you using on the two PC's?

                              Haven't tried new account.

                              Work is XP Professional and home is Win7 home 64 bit.

                              My work around didn't work this time. I tried to post it 3 times and it erased my message each time. I'm posting this from IE.

                              Google Chrome version 8.0.552.224 at work. Probably newer version at home since I've only had the PC a month.
