Not exactly. seems like a known problem that was talked about just yesterday.
Seems a bit more logical than "Interesting that only new members are the ones having this problem ..." At least it gives a starting point, yes?
Not really. Your linked issue (To which I'm fully aware of ) seams to be affecting new, and old members alike. My observation here was that only new members with no mention of the odd character text messages trigger were being affected by this issue thus making that a logical first observation in trying to trouble shoot the problem ...
Without diving full speed into a pissing match, His opening was , It was working fine and all of a sudden its not. Knowing that there is a text bug that is causing exactly this problem, yeah, sounds kinda logical that this may be the problem. in either case anything would have been a better answer than it's a newbie issue. LOL
One might think even a newb would say something about this happening after getting a text that had weird stuff they couldn't read... to assume the issue is because of the reported bug is just as erroneous as blaming it on 'newb issues'.
Okay you seem to be way more preoccupied with taking my comment out of context than you really need to be ...
One could suggest that I am jumping to conclusions but, when something is working and then just stops for no known reason yeah, troubleshoot from the top but, When there is a known bug why wouldn't you start there first instead of climbing the troubleshooting tree? I do system troubleshooting on a weekly basis and I can tell you that if I come across a glitch that has been issued any type of tech bulletin I go there first. If friends in the industry give me a heads up on an issue they have noticed recently, I would go there first. This is why many industries publish tech bulletins, It saves time and money when bugs surface. I don't agree that troubleshooting from the beginning is the best use of time in a situation like this.
... did the known issue happen?? No?? Then it's not a logical place to start...
i only know what I've read here and elsewhere... to assume anyone's messages app issue is solely attributable root cause is this one incident/bug as you seem to be hell bent on doing... is simply wrong absent any direct evidence to the contrary... an ambiguous "my messages app isn't working" can be caused by a myriad of issues for which standard troubleshooting applies...
