Why Am I Not Being Notified About Things On The EA Forums?
I am following the Info Hub, General Discussion, Feedback categories. I am following the Announcement and Patch Notes tags. Everything is turned on and set to Immediately or Daily Digest in my Follows & Notifications account settings. I'm not being notified via Email about Announcement/Patch Notes posts, replies to my threads, replies to my comments, etc.SolvedLog-In Loop
Hi, is this just a new temporary glitch, or is it just at my end? As of this morning, I can't log-in to the EA forums, I get the home page, hit sign in, go to sign in and get the message "authentication unavailable' I've had this before, but can sign in on second go. This time - nope!SolvedPossibility to edit my "optional" Profile Info is gone
As it says here in: Your EA Forums Profile, Avatar & Settings "optionally fill out some details about yourself." As I added some Info "about me" to my EA Forum Profile in the past, I can now not see these settings anymore in my settings nor the line I added to edit it. These "optional" settings are gone and do not show in my account settings anymore. So I can no longer edit my "optional" (about me) info. Has these settings been removed or is it a Forum bug?SolvedNo page loads, just "Internal Server Error"
Since this morning, anytime I try to visit anything anywhere in these forums normally, I only get a blank page with "Internal Server Error." (It worked fine yesterday, which is the first day I accessed the new forums.) Searching for the problem turns up at least one other person with the problem (thread 1, thread 2), and it seemed to happen when they had some kind of anti-tracking protection enabled. For me, I don't use AVG, but it seems to be related to some extension I have installed, since I can open these pages in an Incognito window (where most extensions are disabled). However, it's not AdBlock or Ghostery, since the forums still won't load with them disabled, and no other extension should be related in any way. I have Do Not Track enabled in Chrome, but that should apply regardless. This is absolutely egregious. There should be nothing I can do on my end that causes EA's site to throw a server error like this. And it certainly shouldn't still be happening months after it was first reported. The issue is happening for me in Chrome v130.0.6723.92 on Windows 11. (No issues on my phone in Chrome for Android v130.0.6723.74 on Android 13.) UPDATE: It's not an extension but something Chrome must otherwise be handling differently between regular and Incognito windows. I fully disabled every single extension from the extension management settings, and still all EA Forums pages only load as "Internal Server Error" in non-Incognito windows.[Known issue] Error viewing and downloading attachments
Hi folks, There is currently an issue preventing users from viewing and downloading attachments at the moment. You may experience an "HTTP Status 404" or a blank image. Don't worry, the Forums teams are aware of this issue. Thank you for your patience!SolvedQuestions About Too Many Posts
I keep getting the messages "Content Not Published" and "You’ve exceeded the maximum number of posts you can publish. Try again later." when I try to publish a post. What exactly is the definition of a maximum number of posts? Are there so many posts in an hour, a day, a week? How long must I wait from my first failed attempt to try again? Can I reach a member level that allows me to make more posts than I have currently exceeded? Can I even post in the Technical Discussion if I have been shackled in the other areas of The Sims 3 forum? Yes. When can I expect to be able to post again? I would appreciate some clarification on the rules for this restriction. My recent posts: What happened in your Sims 3 game today? - 1 post - 10 hours ago - 1 reply to Silverofdreams - 10 hours ago - 1 reply to Emorril's reply to my post above - 10 hours ago - 1 post about Alryne Valley Ultimate - 3 days ago The Sims 3 Creative Corner An Apology - 1 discussion - 7 hours ago Marsden Farm Challenge - 2 posts - 9 hours ago Precious Joy Forsythe Legacy Challenge - 1 post - 9 hours ago Alryne Valley Ultimate - 10 posts for homes I created - 3 days ago To my knowledge, that is only 8 posts within three hours. I don't find that to be excessive. However, I did do many minor edits of existing posts under both Marden and Forsythe posts. Is this a factor? Thanks! ~texansky- p.s. None of the tags were an accurate selection for the issue I have. You should add a tag for Forum Issues.Solved
