Problems accessing Inbox?

dua dua

It appears I can't access my inbox.  Is anyone else having problems on this site?
I can see the posts and respond to them but nothing with my inbox. it only tells me I have messages there. In my yahoo email, I only get that I have a message but I can't read what that message says. Is there any way to change the settings so I can see the contect of the message in  my yahoo email?

@Hasnaa,
I don't understand. Are you saying I got blocked because I sent some private messages to different people?
I read the link but...
I have some comments, if indeed, I was blocked.
I did post of the forum first.
I gave real answers.
I will say that I worry about posting too much personal information on a public place like this, as I have seen responses, usually from locals, that don't seem to like any negative comments.
The truth is, I prefer to hear the bad things of a prospective country because these are the things I must prepare for. I am pleasantly surprised by the good things, but not having traveled much, I want to hear all the bad things so I can be ready and expect the worst but be pleasantly surprised if it isn't as bad.
I do the same thing when I tell others of my country. I always tell them the things they may not like or may have to adjust to.
I pm'd several people because, in the past, I have noticed usually few respond. Either because they aren't active, or have changed their email and don't get the messages.
I am anxious to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible.
I would hope that you can pm people you don't know so you can get to know them.
After all, if they are bothered by you, or don't want to talk, they can respond and say that, ignore the message, or block a person.
Lastly, If a person is blocked, I would recommend they get a notice so they know.
I was able to access one message today through an email link, but when I tried just clicking my inbox, I still could not see the other messages.
Is there a way you can check and see if i'm blocked?
and if so, how do i get myself unblocked?
People think i'm ignoring them.
and I have made posts. In fact, next to Jameela, it said i was the most active last week.
thanks for your help.

Hi Dua dua,

that's something completely different. I will investigate for you

Thanks,

Julien

Can you find your messages, with the instructrions below ?

@Julien,
I'm happy to hear that. Thank you for your help.
If it matters, I am trying to access your site from the internet explorer browser, which is my only option at the moment.

@Julien,
No.
Initially, everything worked fine.
Then, I tried to log in and was successful but when I clicked on the orange number to access my messages I would get an error message and would have to close the window completely.

This has happened since my first report, for about 5 days now, I think.
However, yesterday I saw a message in my inbox of Yahoo email. This was a message alerting me that I had a private message on this site and it provided a link. When i clicked on that link, I could see that private message from that person.
After reading the message, the number in orange changed (it was reduced by 2 since i had read 2 messages by the same person in the same thread), I clicked the orange number thinking the problem was fixed and i could read my other messages, however, i got the same error message and had to close the window and sign in again.
You may think this is not a problem since I can read the messages from the link in my emails. However, I just deleted many of the emails in yahoo before i realized this was the only way to access my messages.

Thanks again, I'm anxious to get this resolved and talk to people :)

I've never seen that kind of message. Could you please forward me the notification email you've received to julien@expat-blog.com ?

Thanks

Julien

It wasn't an email notification. It's just that when i go to this site and click "inbox", I get a white screen with the message I posted above.
I can try it 10 times and the same things happens.

Julien

I see, thanks for the explanation.

Could you please remind me which browser you are using, and which version ?

dua dua

It was internet explorer. I am not there right now so I will tell you the version tomorrow.
I will say it used to work from that location though. and it still allowed me to see the messages when I clicked the link for the message in my yahoo mail.
Today, I am using a different browser and I could finally access everything.
stay tuned until tomorrow :)

Hi, It is Internet Explorer 8.
I will tell you that today things look different and are working well.
Today I have different icons pictured. I have one for my inbox, one for contacts, and another one.
I was able to see all my messages from this site.
Thank you so much for your hard work and attention to this problem.
Cheers,
Dua
