Malfunctions

Today when I hover, intentionally or not, over a poster name, the box that appears won't go away. I have to go to another page. Also, when hovering over the reaction icons, I can only choose "like."

Besides that, my phone just played an annoying tune for no reason at all. Seriously!

I second this.

Everything's buggy today.  

Was there an update?

In an effort to reduce the size of the page, Google recommended updating the caching settings.  

This could be causing a problem with your local browser cache.  Try clearing your cache and let me know if that fixes your problems.  I can't duplicate it, but it might be happening only on specific browsers, etc.  

If clearing your browser cache does not work, I'll roll back the optimization settings.

@RadioRob, clearing the cache worked for me, thank you.

But why did my phone ring in a tone that I didn't set, and when no one called me or sent a text, for which I have set other sounds for notification?

There is absolutely no way for me to trigger sounds on a system.  In fact, no website has that ability.  (Think of the spam/harassment that could occur if it was possible!)  So it would be unrelated to this.

Oh, I know that. But you are a fixer of broken things, without limiting that to this website!😁

I blush to admit it, but I don't even know what my browser cache is or how to clear it.

What browser are you using?  And desktop or mobile?

What’s a browser?

Is that like a bronzer for your eyebrows?…..in that case…..my browser is Chanel.

The web browser is what you use to access the internet. This can be Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, etc.

Firefox on a Windows desktop.

This will help with clearing cache (also known as "temporary internet files") on Windows systems.

clearing the cache is usually a good housekeeping habit, but I was just reminded that it often clears all your auto log-ins, too, so I had to log in again to the forum....

write down your username and passwords for all your usually-visited websites!.......
