Please. I appreciate any efforts to resolve this.

Do you need my email address? I assume (could easily be wrong) that you have it. If these messages are not visible to the public I am happy to provide the address.

Thanks, Steve

Ticket: 23243579

 

I recently opened the ticket shown above because my attempts to copy a link were unsuccessful. Walter and Leah were very helpful, and it seemed as though the problem was resolved. Unfortunately it is not. It seemed like it was working for a bit and then it's back to the same thing.

Leah thought it could have been due to malware being detected on my files . I scanned and rescanned everything using Malwarebyles and Viper AV. Nothing bad detected.

Please help.

 

Steve

    it appears to be working normally this morning. Yesterday, it didn't work and I opened the ticket. Then it worked for a bit. Then it was doing the same bad stuff again. Now this morning it seems to be working. I don't know what is up?

      Thanks Walter. So I wonder what happened? It didn't work so I opened the ticket. Leah gets back to me and everything seems OK. Then I send a couple of things out and it's back to not working. Now this morning it works again. I know the "we can't fix it if it aint broke" thing, I've said that many times. Can you tell if everything looks OK on your end? Do you have any idea of why it goofed again after Leah looking into it? I appreciate your efforts and I'm not trying to be a pain. I just really don't like posting something using a Dropbox link and getting the response that I sent a dead link. I guess I just wait and see?
