Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Asking for help:
I've just found that for some reason, my ability to upvote, downvote, or open a comment window (reply) etc, don't work.
Never happened before. Logged out, logged in, didn't help. Open shut browser, didn't work. Currently using Chrome (as I don't have enough hardware to run Brave currently). Javascript is enabled for GAW.
Any ideas? It changed all of a sudden, although nothing else has been altered on my system (that I know about) or the browser settings...
Fixed? Sounds like a site bug TBH.
In chrome window choose vertical dot-dot-dot in upper right corner. Choose history then clear browsing data, can choose advanced (recommend - try just browsing history first). Deletes a bunch of cached files. Worth a try.
For what it is worth, this happens every once in a while and not very consistent. Most of the times the upvotes are recorded, just does not show up immediately. Usually it resolves itself after a while. Also worth trying from a different device.
Thanks BB, everyone. I tried via a different browser, which worked fine. Which is why it was puzzling.
In the end, I figured that somehow my system was not handling the commands properly, so I rebooted (after going out and coming back) and it's all OK now.
GAW has been acting very slow today to respond and load pages etc, which may or may not be related.
Either way, it's good now. Thanks, to frens.
