Ex_Brit Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I haven't been able to use SC Mail (webmail.spamcop.net) as the minute I sign in the page starts jumping up and down. I had to go the http://mailsc.spamcop.net/reportheld?action=heldlog route in order to go it and even that was acting up somewhat. Other web pages are fine. I'd use the reporting button if I could get the cursor to stay over it long enough to click. OK Edit: Tried it again 30 minutes later and it's stopped, whatever it was. What would cause that?
StevenUnderwood Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 OK Edit: Tried it again 30 minutes later and it's stopped, whatever it was. What would cause that? By your description, it sounds like the page kept refreshing over and over again. I would assume some process on the server went crazy if you did not do anything on your end (restart browser session, reboot machine, etc.).
Ex_Brit Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks Steven. It was very off-putting shall we say...LOL. I've found SC mail to be intermittently slow in recent weeks so this doesn't surprise me.

I've found SC mail to be intermittently slow in recent weeks so this doesn't surprise me. i have not used the webmail page in several months. I have had no issues with VER reporting page or IMAP/SMTP however.
Ex_Brit Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 That side seems OK, and it too is OK now so it was probably just passing glitch(es).
agsteele Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I haven't been able to use SC Mail (webmail.spamcop.net) as the minute I sign in the page starts jumping up and down. What would cause that? I used to get a similar problem on web pages where there is an option to complete some type of form - particularly log-in screens. In my case the problem was easily linked to an application that I had running make logins work using the built in finger print scanner. I disabled that for websites and all settled down. Do you have a new laptop with finger print scanning or similar? Could you have been infected by a key-logging trojan (hopefully not )? Andrew
Ex_Brit Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 No this is an almost new Alienware tower PC and have no such software or malware. Conincidentally, but not necessarily connected, yesterday I suddenly got a flood of emails that I had already received over the last 2 or 3 days...like some server somewhere hiccupped. That could as easily have been by ISP as Spamcop & I probably will never know why that happened.
