Problem with the site.

I had the same symbols on the left side of the screen that were obscuring part of the post. The symbols are still there but now they seem to be smaller and are no longer covering up part of the posts. Not sure what happened because I didn't change anything.

Just tried an experiment, I use Firefox and I also use Internet Explorer. No colorful logos when using Firefox..... but when using Internet Explorer, the colorful logos will appear on the left side.

About 4 days ago I was installing a new security system on my computer... after completion I thought it was the security software that was keeping me from advancing on Aging Care.... I could get in, but after reading post the website would freeze up.... panic city.

So I uninstalled part of the security software... I have no clue what I am doing since this isn't my area of expertise.... I was tapping on keys blind. Anyway, whatever I did opened the way back into Aging Care. The "tracker" is running so I how how many trackers [being followed] are in use on a website.

Then I found out from a friend that the Aging Care website was making some changes at the same time. Whew. But I didn't re-install that security system. Money down the drain as that software wasn't free. Not worth the risk.

At work I notice the Facebook, etc. colorful display on the left side of my screen. It doesn't show up here at home except for a text written Facebook-Twitter-Google+Linedin-Email-Print at the top of the page. It will cover up what is written when that line lands. Kinda like those ads on TV that cover up stuff on a TV show.

Are we having fun yet with new technology?

I too have been having problems. I have to sign in anytime i try to do something. Have not been getting emails. Day after this appeared, i received one email and none since then. I could be logged in on mobile view then switch to standard and have tobsign in again. Trying to like a comment or answer a question is taking way too long. Used to love this site but am getting very frustrated.

AgingCare Team, I was DELIGHTED to discover yesterday that the site had been upgraded, as I saw the "lock" on the address bar and noticed that the prefix had been changed to "https".

Great move - just as one user, I really appreciate this change.

We have updated our site to become fully secured (https) which has led to these problems. Please let me know of any other issues so I may have our IT dept. fix them right away. We appreciate your patience.

Thank you,

The AgingCare.com Team

I had problems getting the site to load for a while yesterday. I run a filter that blocks social media and I haven't noticed any changes now that things seem to be back to normal. For a while I was worried that our site was getting cyber attacked by one of our disgruntled members.

Nothing is private.. You could always just google any question from this site and it will come up.. They are now making it easier to post to other social networks...

I just had a very hard time getting on the site too.I couldn't bring up the Agingcare site at all for about 20 minutes, then I couldn't send a post. I just gave up and went to another site for awhile, now I'm back on.

I too am getting social media and other links on the left hand side of the pages. The bottom 3 are for LinkedIn, e-mail and to print. I wouldn't be using any of them, but at least they don't block viewing the messages.

I certainly hope that no one is unwise enough to link any of these posts to any social media site - there are just too many personal revelations and angst for anything here to be made so public.

I was also seeing the same thing that Gershun saw but I don't see it tonight.

Does anyone know of someone who's been unable to post? I do know that's happened to one person specifically.

However, I did see something that warms my heart - the little padlock on the right hand side of the address bar. I had been concerned before because the log-in wasn't secure. Now I'm seeing that apparently (?) the whole site is secure, or at least more so.

I think the higher level of security is for posting; I did notice a very high number of new posters over the last several days. And just before there was another repeat of the poster who appeared sometime ago and created very, very peculiar posts - I can't remember specifically but I think it was something about contacting deceased people..???

I clicked the fb link to see what it would do. Nothing. I don't know what the dead links are pinned for.

They are links pinned to the top of the page in case anyone wants to share on social media or print. I certainly hope no one is sharing what we say on the social sites! I've never done it, so don't know how it looks. I don't want to do it, either.

Maggie I haven't had that type of problem but I have noticed other things recently.
Some black symbols and characters all in a jumbled mess on the bottom right side of the screen. Also today when I clicked on my inbox to get into this site it kept taking me somewhere else.

This may be totally unrelated but I've noticed a few really irritating people who have started posting on here lately. I won't name names but I don't enjoy this site as much anymore because of them.
