I Am Error: The Time Out Edition (UPDATED)



Hi! I'm Catmid's sister, EC. :D Next to me is my associate Kootie! She's my right hand turtle when things go horribly wrong!

You may have noticed from time to time there are updates and major lag times. things don't load, letters don't go through, pages stall and etc. What do you do when that happens? The most recent issue is the TIME OUT error.

The first thing I usually do is be aware of what is going on. Report things to AMEBA PICO when you can. LINK: http://pico.ameba.net/contact/

Next... Look at your loading page. Does any of the buttons work? I like to click everything and then note what happens. I noticed since I can not see my room, I might as well try someone elses'. Clicking on the buddies link to open your buddies list still works.

FollowThe buddy list helps you navigate your way around your friends rooms. When you click on the little running man you can follow them wherever they may be. Now, this only works if they are on your friend list and that they also allow you to see them online.

To continue, if you click the little green running man, you can go to their room. Though, you could just click their house icon, but I like using the little green running man whenever I can. I am nosey like that. >:D

When I tried this action during the TIME OUT error, it seemed to bypass it. My suspicions were also confirmed when I checked the Ameba PICO Facebook page. On the FB page many other people are having this issue, and so it is obvious it is NOT a user issue.

Now that you have some freedom back, what do you do?

You can see your gifts, get your daily gummy bonus, and you could also travel to some areas. Not all areas can be reached.

My testing the TRAVEL AREA icons you can figure out where you can or can't go.
Okay so... say you can't get into the fun areas. You can always have fun without traveling.

You could have a small party. Invite your friends to a room and chat about food, music, art, pets and etc. Have a food party, or even a prop party. :D

If you have more suggestions, post here! I'd love to hear them. Lets hope they fix the bug soon. Have some fun everyone!

**UPDATE**
Seems the fix is put in place. RUN! BE FREE!!! HAHAHAA!!!
