Soup Glitch

I received soup mail from a trusted poet friend asking if he'd written something that did offend Of course, he never could And then I understood But return mail to him? I was not allowed to send That's the frustrating message I got when I clicked Yeah, that was very upsetting. Yeah, I was ticked! Yet another PS glitch Isn't that (can't type the rhyme) ;) I didn't try because I'm sure I'd have gotten kicked (off) The only viable solution that came to mind Is one that many of us has heretofore defined Admin, can you flip a switch So, mail sends without a hitch? Please fix this problem, if you would be so kind??? I had to ask another friend to message him for me He was happy to help, but said, "This should not be." That's true and it's a drag to nag 'bout the mailbag But blocking a poet through a glitch is crappy. Others dealt with this. Does it happen by default? It's not my doing, and surely not my friend's fault We're both really annoyed We might need Siggy Freud It's time that these vexing glitches come to a halt

In some ways, worse than glitches is the sheer poor programming in some places. My least favourite is the categories (of which you must choose at least one) when submitting a poem. Why does it return to top upon each selection… drives me batty! As for unintended ‘blocking’, I’ve certainly lost at least one erstwhile fan due to an erroneous block. That’s Soup life, I guess. Well done for raising the issue. Terry

Oh, yes! That bugs me, too. Putting a category on a poem is useless, and who reads that anyway? I don't. There are many problems with the site that will probably never be fixed, yet... here we are. Thanks for your thoughts, Terry.

I've had glitches with commenting but not soup mail (which is a clunky interface BTW). I like your 'lamentaricks'! Linda

It’s not a new problem so I hold little hope that it wasn’t ok be resolved. Lamentericks sounds great.

Yep, sometimes working with this site is, frankly, frustrating, but I don't seem to have an abundance of problems. Perhaps some are the results of different servers and search engines, or whatever you call them. Good limericks, Jenna.

It certainly can be. That and dealing with a few other abnormalities... nuff said. Thanks for liking these.

These glitches are getting out of hand Jenna, apparently I’m blocking poets all over the soup, some I’ve never even had correspondence with, just to let poets know I have never purposely blocked any poets, I think these glitches happen around potd, and it’s more than just crossover comments, come on admin, time for an upgrade on the site, nice Limericks Jenna, hopefully admin sort this problem out soon, cheers David

hmmm. Not counting on it. I'm sorry this happened to you, but I knew you hadn't blocked me of your own doing. ;)
