Feedbacks option doesn't work
-
Hi there,
I can’t get into my feedbacks to see if I have any new messages. It worked fine before. Can you help me with this?
Greetings from Karin.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Are you referring to your feedback management area for contact form responses?Are you logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog and who is the Admin of the blog in question?
If you are then how are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com?
If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
If you are, please do these:
(1) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050(2) Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled and JavaScript enabled

(4) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
If you are not successful let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

If you minimized the Dash toolbar to a bar on the left, then clicking on the “Feedback” icon will now bring you to Polls rather than Feedback, as it used to do before. Instead, you’ll need to hover your mouse cursor over the Feedback icon, which will cause the submenus to swing out and then click Feedback.

Welcome, although I hadn’t realize you’d posted, tt. :) I had to step away from the computer in the middle of my reply. I only saw it after I hit “submit”. Hopefully one of us has the right of it.

@justjennifer. I did all you suggested but it still doesn’t work. The whole page looks very strange and black. I cleared my browser’s cache.
Nothing’s changed, I’m using the same version of Internet Explorer as I did when Feedback was still working. Nothing’s changed apart from the fact that the Feedback Management Area doesn’t seem to work anymore. -

@timethief
Nothing’s changed as far as I know. I must try some of the things you suggested. Have to find out how to do all that. I’ve cleared my browser’s cache. That didn’t help.Must find out about the third party cookies next. I’ll keep you informed.

@sylovelyrita it looks like you post to that site intermittently and within the last few weeks, there was a redesign to the user Dashboard here on WordPress.com.
I’m not sure if that is what you are experiencing, but you can read about it here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/06/17/beautiful-makeover/
If it’s not that, please take a screenshot and upload it to your site’s media library and post the link here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/

Thanx Justjennifer,
I’ve noticed the makeover and I know that I need to hover over the feedback option but it just won’t open. The page ‘blocks’.
I’ll have to try your suggestions later but at the moment haven’t got the time. I’m not an expert with computers which doesn’t help. I just get very annoyed and give up.
I’m sure the problem will be solved in the end. I’ll keep you informed.
-
Well, I’ve tried everything everybody suggested apart from taking a screenshot. I have no clue what thtat’s all about. The only thing I know is that my feedback option stopped working since the makeover. So to me it’s not so beautiful, sorry.

Nothing’s changed, I’m using the same version of Internet Explorer as I did when Feedback was still working. Nothing’s changed apart from the fact that the Feedback Management Area doesn’t seem to work anymore.
You don’t mention which version of IE you’re using, and the new dash won’t work or work well with older versions of IE, like 7 or 8.
Did you try using a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome? They both work on older computers, so give one a try (my personal preference is Firefox) and see if that doesn’t cure your dashboard ills.
Check out the link that timethief gave you above http://browsehappy.com/

I’m using IE9 with Vista. I don’t want Chrome because it tends to slow down your computer, I’ve been told.
May I ask why things had to be changed while they were working perfectly?
-
In the meantime I’ve tried Firefox but that made no difference. Sorry I sound so frustrated but I guess I am.
-
Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable compatibility mode see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

From your dashboard, are you able to click “Feedback” to see the three menu options as shown in this screenshot?

Yes, I am able to see the three menu options but when I click on the feedback one, nothing happens.
Thanx for looking into the problem and I’m going to try to make a screenshot now.
-
Thanks for that information!
I’ll wait to hear back from you regarding the screenshots. Once I have that information, I’ll be happy to take a closer look.
Thank you!
