Invalid page format error - AGAIN

[Brett]

I've been down for several days also.  IPF error.
2.5.39 on one computer and 2.5.40 on another.  Same problem on both.  When I launch the brogram from a DOS window with the debug option, no LOG folder is created, so I can't help there.

I tried this as well, and got the same problem - yahoo asking me to login twice.

 Try this possible fix for the problem....

 I am still not sure if it is a yahoo thing or a IE thing but it worked for me.

Wilson,
Any news or comments on this IPF problem?  The last time I was able to download my groups was about 2 weeks ago.  
All my groups are affected.  I've tried to log into both my yahoo mail and yahoo groups and then do downloads but it did not help.  I've tried it with authorization on and off with no joy.

Thanks

Did you delete all cookies and cache in IE, first? That seems to be the key. It won't keep you from having to log-in all the time, but you may be able to download groups.

I'm also wondering if this the log in issue is strictly yahoo related. When I login to yahoo mail, and close the browser window, I have to re-login even though I have cookies enabled. It does this in both IE and Firefox. Am I the only one that is noticing this?

I just deleted my cookies & temp files (which took like 20 min.!), logged into groups, launched PG Offline and tried downloading.  I tried it with authorzation on and off with no luck.  I logged in to groups again with the "remember me" boxed checked and repeated the above and still get the same error.  So either I'm missing something or this work-around does not solve the problem.

I'll throw my hat in the ring and mention that my PGO is also IPFing.  I have tried the login-to-Yahoo-in-IE workaround, and have tried running PGO both with the "Skip Authorization" option on and off.

My PGO version is PG Offline Plus, Version 2.5.40.

Thanks,
Chris

Right guys, I'm having um, staff difficulties but I promise to get this looked at ASAP.

Cheers,

Wilson.

sigh... still IPF, even after .41 patch

Two possible reasons...

1. Turn Skip Authorization OFF. If it's on your going to have to use the I.E. Workaround, because PGO reads the yahoogroups cookie to skip authorization. When you switch it permanently off  it reads the master login that you typed into pgo.

If that does not work. It may be a corrupt database. This morning I could not get anything but IPF's after I opened another  database. I went back and checked the one I'd just closed. It worked fine.

I renamed the old database. Created a new one. Imported all of my messages from the old one. And it worked great. So the only thing I can figure is that I had a corrupt database.
