HTTP


It must be the time of the month
For errors and associated gumpf
Where images I can’t upload

The forums say the problem is me
Although the error says HTTP
And nothing else is told

‘Connection reset’
Is also an error I get
When WordPress I try to see

Other sites work fine and well
So this glitch, from what I can tell,
Affects just WordPress and me

I can sit for a while
And lose the will to smile
As it takes an age for the error to show

And from experiences past
These errors do not last
Yet they cause my frustrations to grow

With intentions good
I know that I should
Persevere and continue to post

Yet if they persist
I may have to insist
On using a new blogging host

***

Sigh. Once again I’m being subjected to the glitch that crops up from time to time. I can’t upload images, which is one of the major symptoms, but not as major as being unable to comment or view WordPress blogs. I have a feeling these errors are caused by changes due to the latest updates to Windows, as everything seems to work well before then suddenly stops then suddenly start working again after another update. Whatever. It’s always the same error, and always affects WordPress. The help forums, when I can access them, always ask me to check that I’m using the latest browser, although the problem occurs on any browser – in fact, I used the Apple browser and just received a white screen; no error at all.

It’s mighty frustrating.

Even more so now I have a target to reach blogging wise.

I shall persevere with things. I’m posting this in the hope that those ‘Freshly Pressed’ robots call by and see that I’m having issues once again; I mean they must read the posts word-for-word so maybe they will pass the message on and get things fixed once and for all.

As you all know, I live in a dream world, so my hope will be in vain.

Sorry folks, but expect boring posts for the foreseeable future. Fingers, my Inner Typist, is trying to force me to write ‘so nothing new there, then’ – but I shall resist. Doh!

    At least you have a chic red and black minimalist theme going. Quite stylish! 😉

      Thanks, CM… well, I did, anyway.
      It looked OK on a desktop PC, but terrible on the mobile so I’ve had to revert it back. It’s all trial and error, it seems. More so error, but hey ho! 😀

    Sorry to hear you have got these problems again Tom.. At the moment I am typing red on red in your comment box, as I peer intently through my specs.. 🙂 I wonder if it is a problem with windows 10.. I am Vista an old version but it still gets updates from Windows..
    Sadly now Google Chrome is no longer going to support updates for XP and Vista Pcs… another ploy to make you upgrade..
    Hope the Glitch soon rights itself.. I know Prenin had lots of problems recently too.. xx
    Have a good weekend… 🙂 xxx

      Sue, I must apologise for the red on red – not very comfortable, and thanks for pointing it out to me. That wasn’t Windows 10, however, it was me.
      I’ve reinstalled Windows 10, so hopefully that has ironed out a few issues. Only time will tell…

          I hope so too, Sue. I’m typing with fingers crossed and touching wood at the same time. We shall see!

    I’m so sorry to hear about your challenges Tom. I’ve heard so many people say they’ve had nothing but trouble with Windows 10. Being a Mac gal I can’t do much, and I assume you can’t revert back to your old OS? That would be my only idea…or switch to a Mac 🙂

      Thanks, Beth. On the whole, I’ve found Windows 10 to be OK, it’s just when an update throws a setting out of whack all hell seems to break loose! 😀
      There was a period when I could have gone back to Windows 7, but that expired I think. I’ll persevere!

      Thanks, VK. All seems calm on the western front right now, although I haven’t tried to post anything new yet! I managed to get onto the forums and there was a glitch with uploading media, which affected some but not all users… seems like yours truly was one of those affected. Sigh. Onwards and upwards, as they say! 😀

    It does happen when an update on a program is done. I was told by Apple to upgrade from Safari to El Capitan and the next thing you know – no photos. Plus, they want everything to go through the cloud. I thought clouds were for rain. Mmmmmm …. I don’t want to pay to store photos. I’m stubbornly resisting. I’ll let you know who wins. 😜

      I don’t trust that cloud, Isadora. I’m with you, and I’ll keep my photos with me! Resist away! 😀

        It’s too weird for me and I don’t understand it. My feet are planted in the quick sand and not coming out. LOL

            Right … where is that cloud thing? No one seems to want to tell.
