Anyone having trouble with Hotmail ?

[samak]

Hotmail appears to have been doing weird things for the past few days with many people getting as far as their Inbox but not being able to open messages or do anything else much. I'm one of them.
Microsoft don't seem to be admitting there's a problem.
I just wondered if many people on here were experiencing the same issues. Thanks.

I have had the same problem recently....wrote an e-mail message then couldn't send it....very annoying...I gave up and used my googlemail address....wonder if Microsoft would see it as a problem if enough people complained.....

No problem here

Yes samak, I have had problems yesterday and today. I can't send emails. I thought it was just me. I don't know what area you are in; I'm in East Sussex.

Jan,
If you're running Firefox, try disabling the AdBlock add-on (if you're using it). That worked for me.

I think I've found a better way of doing this rather than disabling AdBlock Plus completely. If you can get to your Inbox, then click on the small arrow in the ABP icon and select "Disable on co119w.col119.mail.live.com" (it will look similar to this but won't be exactly the same). Then logout of hotmail and then login again and it should work.

samak, thank you for your advice. Sadly, I couldn't get it to work so I'll get my neighbour(a glorious geek)to have a look. Thank you again for your advice though. I really appreciate your help. Aren't ABers nice people? Best wishes.

thanks for the kind words Jan. If "Supergeek" fixes it I'd be interested to hear what the problem was for future reference. Good luck and best wishes.

samak, he's on holiday at the moment (probably at geek camp) but when he comes back, I'll have a word and let you know what he says.

Hi samak, good morning. My hotmail is back to normal this morning. Don't know what happened but all seems ok....maybe I shouldn't speak too soon eh?

[samak]

Good news Jan. Let's hope it stays that way.
