Question

Is it just me..or everyone... When I gt on OS, and I'll be on for a couple minutes, then my internet starts to freeze and shut all my windows down. It only happens with OS, not other sites(Like my email, chats, Muzy whatever)... I was wondering if maybe OS was doing something new and it's just loading, or whatever? And if it's just me or everyone?

Answer 1

O.O

Answer 2

^ I think that answers your question, no? :P

Answer 3

xD Did you understand how I worded it? I reread it and I confused myself.

Answer 4

It happens to me sometimes, it says: Oh noes, it crashed! on Google Chrome :/

Answer 5

I'm not sure what you mean by "shut my windows down".... OH do you mean a Tab Crash like what zepp just described?

Answer 6

Better known as the "Aww snap" screen. haha

Answer 7

LOL Wow.
On OS it says lost the connection, then my internet crashes down. Not my internet connection, just my windows open. :P

Answer 8

Are you seeing this error?

Answer 9

Oh yeah, the snap thing xD

Answer 10

Uhhm..no. I'm not. O_o

Answer 11

What browser are you using?

Answer 12

Firefox

Answer 13

Ah, Firefox might handle that problem differently. It's probably the same issue.

Answer 14

Oh, that lost connection? I had this 'problem' just because my connection was extremely bad.

Answer 15

Okay, what I'm saying is... It doesn't happen when I have my email or twiddla open or school(this is my school computer). Only OS. As soon as I open OS, my comp starts to freak out saying "Not Responding" and it says "Firefox just crashed!" and yeah..It's lame. :P

Answer 16

Yeah, so here's the deal. The Aww Snap screen is the same as a crash in Firefox. It's related to some of the client-side code we run. It's entirely possible that if our code is going haywire you *could* see the Connection Lost message before it happens. Since Firefox doesn't have the Aww Snap screen - that could be why your windows are just closing instead of showing some error.

Wouldn't be the first time Firefox didn't have a failsafe for something like that.

Answer 17

In short, we know it is happening, but haven't been able to isolate it yet. It is what we call a "Heisenbug" - as soon as we start looking for it, it disappears. :(

Answer 18

Ohh okay. I got it now... So it isn't just me? Lemme clarify that to make sure I'm nt behind. O_o

Answer 19

No, it's not just you. Everyone on the OpenStudy team has seen it at least. We just haven't been able to track it down. Very frustrating. heh.

Answer 20

That said, we're going to keep trying to figure out what's going on. Sorry we haven't been able to fix it yet.

Answer 21

Hm... I don't wanna be an Ambie no more if I would be on the OS team. O_o Haha. Jk. I'd be willing to help. :P But, okay. I get it. ^_^ Thanks Farm. :D
