Special Videos not loading!
« on: November 15, 2010, 04:34:18 am »
If I go to a special video, none of them will show up. In the spot where the video will be it will say something like "Page not found". Please help me. I tried using Firefox and Internet Explorer.

I am having the same problem today.  Hopefully it will be worked out by the time I get back home from work.

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at shortme.ws.

    *   Check the address for typing errors such as
          ww.example.com instead of
          www.example.com

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I am also getting an error when trying to load the videos and other special offers.  They actually say...

  Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
   
   Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
 
   What you can try:
     Diagnose Connection Problems 
 
     More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

For offline users

You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.
To view subscribed feeds

Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you want to view.

To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)

Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view.

 


I know I am connected to the internet because every other page including FC seems to be loading just fine.

I hope they get this fixed!  It is showing several new videos for me!

I'm still getting errors.  I can't watch videos.   It sounds like a problem on THEIR end.  Server not found means THEM, not our browsers.  And since I'm able to post in here says, that there is no problem with my internet connection.  Can support please find out why http://shortme.ws isn't working?

Here it is in Firefox...


In IE...


In AOL IE...

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.

They are working for me again today finally!

However, I did manage to get them to work last night as well.  I had to go around the links that were coming up automatically and delete the portion at the beginning that said

shortcut.me. from the address line.  That took me directly to the gambit site and the video would load.  This also worked for the daily tasks as well.

Did it still credit for you?  I might have to do that myself next time it happens, as the videos did load for me today and late last night.

I was able to view all 10 videos yesterday (11/19) in the evening.  First time I tried them.  No problems then.

Today, however, nothing came up in the "More Special Offers" section of the Dailys.  No offers, no videos, nada.
Hope they get that fixed soon!

I was able to view videos today (11/21) so things are back to normal for me.
