I put in an official support request

I've been trying to access my 'manage settings' page to add the 'notify me if someone fills out my poll' feature, but for the past month I've not been able to get the page to load. It's actually been a problem for much longer than that (it took me about three weeks to be able to uncheck 'notify me if someone uploads a new userpic') but I've been ignoring it, since I didn't care until now.

I've tried it from three different computers (home, work, library) and two browsers (Firefox and IE). I either get a completely blank page (Firefox) or the 'page cannot be displayed' screen (IE).

This is a paid account, and the irony is that my FREE account has no problems with this. I can access the 'manage settings' page in either browser, and quite quickly.

It's very frustrating.

OH. MY. GOD.

"In a related development, a St. Louis, MO, consumer has filed a lawsuit against the Coca-Cola Co. claiming that the My Coke Rewards program might prompt kids to drink so much soda that they could die or at the very least become obese, The Associated Press reported.

The woman, Julia Havey, a weight-loss instructor and author on diet books, filed the lawsuit in St. Louis Circuit Court asking Coca-Cola to change or drop the program. She is not seeking monetary damages.

Williamson said the lawsuit has no merit and that Havey is misinformed. He said that consumers can get points for buying low- and no-calorie beverages like Diet Coke, as well as Coke Zero, and that members can buy drinks for parties and their families, not just for themselves.

"The idea that the individual who enters the codes must also drink all of the beverages that those codes come from is [not correct], he said. "The formula that she works out assumes some things that are not based in the facts of the program."

Havey's attorney, Alvert Watkins, said that the lawsuit would also be dropped if a Coca-Cola executive let his child drink 152 soft drinks on TV, the AP reported."
