Error : Invalid page format.

It's been a long time I got this Message:

8/31/2007 9:11:30 PM > Error : Invalid page format.

With Yahoo running rough the past few weeks, I wonder if there's another "enhancement" in the works...

Hi,

I have the same problem and it does not go away.
Since August 28 I cannot download any more messages.

Please help.

Hi Robert,

The procedure is this:

You give me the name of a public group from your list so that I can try to download it. If I also can't download it then thats good. I can carry on testing myself.

If I can download it then I'll need to you to run PG Offline in Debug mode. This lets you dump the session to a file. I can then compare what you're downloading against what I'm downloading.

To start debug mode:

In Windows do Start--> Run and type

cmd

in the field. Hit enter. You will be taken to a DOS window.

Please download and unzip this file:

http://www.pgoffline.com/groupmanager/pgo.zip

to C:\pgo.bat

Run the .bat file by typing

C:\pgo.bat

at the command prompt in the DOS window. This will start PG Offline in debug mode.
Do your Get Groups and/or Refresh as normal. Once you have generated some errors close PGO.

Now go to the folder C:\Program Files\PG Offline\Log and there will be HTML files of your session(s) there. Zip up the html files and mail them to me.

Thanks,

Wilson.

Hi

I'm getting the same message although mainly on one group Wabeco. This also happens to be the last group in the list

Hi Peter,

With 'Skip Authorization' switched on, I am able to get some groups. Now I'd have expected that I would only be able ot get groups with public archives but this is not the case. It appears to be mixed. I can get some groups which have public archives and some which are private.

Can you all check to see, if you can get any groups, if the groups you can get are public or not.

Thanks,

Wilson.

Hi All,

A bit of an update... I started PGO this morning and ran a Refresh. It was as before. Only some groups can be downloaded. I stopped the Refresh, started IE and logged into Yahoo groups to check the status of the groups I was getting ( Public or Private ). It turns out that I can only download the public groups. This makes sense if the issue is the Yahoo logon.

Anyway, here's the interesting bit... I started another Refresh and lo & behold, I was getting everything!

BTW I have 'Skip Authorization' switched ON.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Hi Logan

All my goups are private. The downloading seems irregular. It skips some groups and updates others. I've just tried logging in to Yahoo via the web and then refreshing and all my groups were updated properly and I didn't get the Invalid page fault error. So it is clearly an authentication problem.

Regards

I was able to download approx 4000 or approx 6000 messages from my yahoogroup, but the last 2000 I keep getting the invalid page format error. I've tried logging out of yahoo, closing IE, clearing cache/cookies, reopening and relogging in to yahoo and have tried with the PG option for skipping authorization both on and off. The messages are there, I can see them in the group, and they are the same format as the first 4000........

Any other guesses/recommendations on how to resolve this?

EDIT:
OS: Win XP
IP: Bellsouth DSL Extreme w/static IP
PGO: version 2.5.49

Eq4bits · September 21, 2007, 08:32:50 PM

updated/edited above to provide OS/IP/PGO version...

Wilson Logan · September 21, 2007, 11:13:41 PM

Please mail me with the group name and I'll try it.

I had also been having the same "Error: invalid page format" problem since early September. Ticking the Skip Authorisation worked for me.

Wilson,

Hi. I've been having the invalid page format, too, for nearly all of about 50 lists. Will send an email. Dennis

Wilson Logan · September 25, 2007, 05:31:37 PM

Hi Dennis,

Got it. Did you get my reply?

Cheers,

Wilson.

So I got invalid page format again this morning - I guess my two weeks is up! This is what I had to do to get going again: I ran PGO in debug mode. I opened the invalid page from the log file with IE (opening with FF did not do the trick). Yahoo was asking for my password, so I typed my password and, bingo, PGO could access the messages. Weird?
