Why This Error Message?

[captainsousie]

I haven't gotten this particular message on here, but whenever I do get some kind of error message anywhere online it's always worded as "we", which I find annoying. Who the hell is "we"?

Why, The Borg of course.

I have received that message when my connection to the internet goes out

Well when that happens here, nothing works, trying to reconnect never solves it so I have to shut down then restart then all seems tickety-boo.

Odd things are computers.

Still wondering what system @captpat uses. Makes a difference.

Not sure if it matters as he was making a general suggestion. He also wasn't indicating he had this problem.

Makes all the difference, impossible to troubleshoot without knowing this info.

Phone or Laptop/computer?

Likely a browser issue.

Like @woodsroad said - clear the cache for starters.

Also try another browser.

I don't have (never had) the error message, it was a general suggestion. When my browser starts getting wonky clearing cache, cookies, and history often fixes the issue(s).

My system (not sure who this is helping)
MacBook Pro
MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1
Browser Safari or Firefox (current version of each)

I discovered the post by @jpmcwjr quite by chance, in the future these sorts of requests would probably be more reliably handled via PM.

Agreed, my response was to the OP. I think we can put a bow on this one.
