Moz forum response seems to crash Outlook?
-
Hi, Like the new look of Moz.
I got an automated email the other day saying someone had responded to a question we asked on Moz. However, when opening the email, it really held Outlook 2010 up. So slow that it crashed Outlook a couple of times. When trying to forward the email to a colleague, I got the 'Contacting \d1...cloudfront.net\img_users' dialogue box, which just stood there for ages, and eventually I had to give up and force Outlook to quit.
Please see attached screenshot.
Looking at the URL Outlook was trying to reach indicates it's trying to load up the avatar of the person who responded. Which would look nice I admit, but don't really need it in the email if it's going to cause Outlook to crash. There is an 'image not found' icon next to the post, so that's why I assume Outlook is searching for that image.
It's almost as if the image is incorrectly referencing a local source (network drive) which it can never find. Perhaps there is a missing http:// prefix before the image in the tag?
Anyway, was curious to know if anyone else has this problem, or if anyone at Moz can check this out (update template?)
Regards, Rich

This is happening to me also. Using the latest Outlook in Office 365.

This is ridiculous.
No fix? is this a Moz issue? Microsoft issue? who can help with that?

And I thought it was just me! Well at least I feel a bit better now! Ken

Me too.

Would love it if someone would get to the BOTTOM of this.
Same problem reported here - Win7, MS Outlook 2010.Still no solution.
This has gotta be driving us few Outlook users crazy and causing us to lower our engagement with the forums.

Yup, definitely not fixed!
I'm also using Outlook 2013. It looks like the profile image is causing it:

That's so funny, I just got the automated message from Moz to say this forum thread has been updated (from you Roeesa), and I thought "Oh yeah, that Outlook freeze thing". In the meantime,I had clicked on the message, and Outlook instantly froze!
So I would say the issue is NOT fixed!
I use Outlook 2013 now, so the issue is the same as it was in Outlook 2010 (probably same base-code?)
Luckily this time I left Outlook alone for 45 seconds, and eventually it loaded the content of the e-mail.
So there must still be some image, code or script etc. that is causing that issue.

Hi, I know this is 2 years old - just had the same issue.
I guess the fix (here: https://moz.com/community/q/moz-email-is-freezing-microsoft-outlook) isn't enough.
Anybody else had this too?
-
Ah thanks both.
Did try to search before posting, but couldn't find anything. Sorry for duplication.
Sounds like they are working on it.
-
I am getting the same problems - crashes my outlook all the time. Would be great to get a solution.

HI,
There is a thread here which at the bottom details a temporary fix until the issue is solved: http://moz.com/community/q/moz-email-is-freezing-microsoft-outlook
It is annoying! I find that if I leave outlook to itself after about 25 seconds or so the mail appears (then is a good time to delete it so that you don't get the freeze again by accidentally clicking on the mail later on).

How to fix Moz assigning the wrong keyword to a page
Somehow the Moz tool has assigned the main keyword here this to my Google Structured Data Update page. Most likely, I missed something which caused the error. "Keyword np - /google-structured-data-update/" This is for my page titled "Announcement of Google algorithm updates Impact SEO techniques"The canonical tag links to https://www.hillwebcreations.com/google-algorithum-updates-impact-seo-tactics/ as it should, so I am wondering how to update the keyword Moz associates this page with.Any leads to solving this would be appreciated.

Why have I been charged by Moz for a Pro Subscription
I recently used the trial free 1 month subscription for Moz Pro as it was suggested in a continued education course I was doing. I see before I could say "Jack Rabbit" they have charged me and it has come off my account for next month. They also took the money off my account also happened after I queried the invoice received this morning and after immediately cancelling the trial period. This is unethical. Currently Moz Pro a service charged in US$ is too expensive for my consultancy in South Africa. Any advice on how to get this amount reversed. Today is the day the invoice was sent and immediately afterwards they charged me the amount.....

My Whole Moz Account Went Missing - Started From Scratch But Not Working Again
Hi guys my whole moz account went awol - lost all my previous campaign data in terms of search listings - got a bit fed up so started from scratch, the first week was ok but now I login to see where I am on the search engines and all I get is '-' can anyone help - I am paying top dollar for this service but it seems so unstable, I thought I was using this to save me time keying in hundreds of search phrases and manually checking them and as I am sure many of you will appreciate checking daily can drive you crackers so I signed up with the belief that once a week I would get an in depth report and as such I could take a sigh of relief and get away from the obsessive compulsion to check my listings daily - this does not seem to be the case - pretty frustrated to be honest. kind regards Gareth
