A Letter To Xanga

John, et. al.,

Thought I'd let you know that I have personally experienced bugs in posting since the last maintenance update on Thanksgiving ( a coincidence?)

For instance, I try to post or update a post and the xTools window just returns to the desktop instead of posting to the blog.

Also, others around xanga are noticing the same kind of things in lost posts and lost comments.  I've encountered enough complaints in the last couple days to suspect that it's a pattern of real significance.

A Reply From Xanga

Hey Steve,

It's Bob...

Yeah, we're on it. We believe the problem may be related to a cookie issue that cropped up when Microsoft released its latest security patch to IE. We need to confirm this and narrow the bug down further to fix it, and Janet/Monsur/Dan/John are actually all working on this as we speak.

Can you tell me if you recently upgraded your IE with the latest security patch?

Thanks,
Bob

My reply to Bob: Yep!  I'm a patchoholic.

P.S   I followed up with Bob to inform him that many of you are not patched yet still having the same problems as those who are.
