hotmail crap

#

Started by mrs h in Chit-Chat

Can anyone else get onto hotmail? I have been trying for 2 days and I just get one of those ‘page cannot be displayed’ messages. I can’t think how it could be just me, but it would be helpful to know if it is!

Many thanks :)

Mrs h, could be Hotmail have temporarily blocked your account. It happened to me recently with my Yahoo account - I started to get undelivered spam mails to my own address(!) and shortly afterwards I couldn’t get into it, even using different computers. Then about 2 weeks later, I was able to get back in using the same password. I figured someone had hacked into it, sent a load of spam, Yahoo then blocked the account and re-instated it when it was considered safe again. At least that’s what I think, nothing has ever been communicated to me by Yahoo.

@Alan :S - I’m paranoid now!! I managed to get on the site today, but it just didn’t look right - my avatar was missing and it’s only the little default blue jelly baby thing anyway. The other email address on the page looked fine though.

If anyone gets spam or weird stuff from me please let me know and I’ll report it or whatever it is I’m supposed to do.

At what stage do you get page cannot be displayed, after you put your username/password in?

Could you try accessing it from another computer, or if not try another browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera) to try and fault find?

I’ve just noticed that it will let me in fine if I’m logged into the computer as myself, but if I’m logged in as my son I get the Page can’t be displayed. I don’t get the chance to put my username and password in, it won’t got to hotmail.com or hotmail.co.uk

@Buffalo Boy - tempting, but I don’t want to have to fanny about with a whole new contact list if i can avoid it. And it seems if I can be faffed to log my son out and myself in it’s ok.

Is it possible he could have blocked the page somehow?

Far from it - I’d say hotmail is far from crap.

Its an excellent bit of kit - Its got a very low failure rate (considering the millions and millions of people that use it) and its free.

Doubtful, I would imagine it”s something to do with the browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox) cache or cokkies if your able to access it logged onto the PC as yourself. Have you tried clearing the cache/cookies/temp internet files? (Tools -> Options)

It seems I was wrong, it doesn’t matter who I’m logged in as, sometimes it will load and sometimes it won’t :(

I’ll delete all the rubbish and do some investigations over the weekend, thanks for your help :)
