Invalid page format error - AGAIN

[vpFREE]

Everything had been working fine for me for several weeks until last night (last message was received at 7:38 PM Pacific time on 1 AUG) when all of my groups stopped downloading.

I had been using Version 2.5.039.

I just updated to 2.5.040 and that doesn't help. Still getting Invalid page format error for all my groups.

HELP.

Sigh, I just have the worst timing. I don't update my groups very often. It usually says invalid page format. I try, it fails, I download the latest version, it works.  Then the next time I try it fails again and it seems the problem had just reoccured like 2 days earlier. heh.
I tried un/re-installing, nogo.
I can't get a thing.

Same here, with version 40, WIlson remember that private group?, still not working but now is all the groups as Yahoo surely did it again   ???, so I'll wait if next patch correct everything

Wilson,

I'm in Australia, using a US server. The IPF message comes during the Authorization phase when doing a 'receive messages' for an individual group, and for about 4 out of 5 group updates when doing a 'receive all messages'. It's been doing this for over 24 hours.

HTH,

I've been getting the IPF for two days now.  It affects all of my groups on Yahoo.

Me too on the three groups I read.  Was working till Friday of last week.  Updated to .40 and still nothing.

[Wilson Logan]

I believe this may be a transient problem due to Yahoo upgrading their servers. If its still a problem on Monday and they've stopped buggering about with the format then we'll produce a patch.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Nothing working here - for about a week now.  Just checked again (2:30am EST Aug 9) and no go.

Well, I'm still having the problem.
I tried a couple different things and found out some new info though.
I don't know if it would have been the same if I tried a couple days ago.

Some groups are set to private so you can't see any of the messages
if you're not a member.  Other groups aren't, so even if you're not a
member you can still read the messages.

Well, I turned authrorization off and I can get the messages from the
groups that are not private.  But the ones that are private I can not.
I can't get a 'List' either.  So it seems that anything that requires
logging on to fails.  If authorization is on I get nothing at all from
anywhere.

I don't think anyone's mentioned that before.

There also seems to be a totally seperate glitch with the program
involving authorization.  I need to quit the program and reopen it
to get it to change sometimes.  It doesn't appear to be consistant.

I did try turning off autorization but did'nt work, nor for open neither private groups, think if this is a transient having to do with yahoo tampering with the servers is a loooooonng transient  :o

Trouble for me too - public and private groups - more than a week now.

Wilson,
How about creating the ability to log the HTML that is being parsed which can be sent to you so your developer has something concrete to work with?

[Wilson Logan]

Already exists....

start PGO from a DOS window..

pgoffline25.exe - debug


Do some downloads... raw HTML is logged to the LOG folder.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Dumb question, but would it help if all the folks who are having problems did this?? or would that be information overload?

I ran it with the debug command.
I tried everything that causes the IPF.
All the files it created in the log dir showed
the yahoo login screen.

This one:
http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.done=http://groups.yahoo.com&.src=ygrp&.intl=us

Hmm, I just tried loging into that page.
After I log in it asks me to enter the password again.  I tried
a few times to make sure I was entering my password
correctly every time.
Every time I go to the login page I need to enter the pass
in twice... so that might be why it's giving the IPF
