Come back to bill pay? I haven't paid any bills with Online Bill Pay?
I last paid a bill with this service only two days ago.
@pikemurdy: Dear Developers, when you create an error message, please help us out and be specific.
@DTonSYFYfans: This blank window & error message pops up constantly (& randomly) for last couple of months.
I've been getting these for several days in spite of replying "on" to several of them.
I did reply "on" and was still shut off.
On further investigation, I see that the auto-capitalization feature of my phone's virtual keyboard had changed my "on" text message to "On". I then text a manually forced "on", and get confirmation that the texts will continue.
Maybe it is just me, but I don't think automated keyword processing should be case-sensitive when users are entering the text on cell phones.
@PWalshWFDI: "Names can only contain low-ASCII letters and numbers cannot begin with a number." what an error message.
I assume "low-ASCII" refers to the 7-bit ASCII characters. However, users shouldn't be expected to know what this means.
Or maybe low-ASCII refers to lower case. Sorry, you must break with convention and not capitalize names.
Can a number begin with a number? What if my name is "7" or "8"? ;)
@niczak: Hmm, this is definitely not the most graceful error handling I have ever seen. Anyone else having major issues running reports on the @authorizenet website? I keep getting this error message:
When using a computer, I anticipate errors. ;)
@intkhiladi: An ATM with Windows Error Warning! LOL!
@PaulNUK: Moronic error message of the day,from IBM's RAD 7.5
Was warning given before this error?
There seems to be a problem with the Yahoo News photo page navigation. It doesn't always get stuck on the same photos, but it eventually gets stuck at some place.
I enter my correct user ID and password and then click the Log On button. I get an error dialog.
What is invalid? Do I enter only one value or both the username and password? That message number means nothing to me. My valid credentials contain characters that are not alphanumeric.
I click OK and start to retype my user ID.
My user ID is unexpectedly masked.
After a few attempts, the same credentials that repeatedly failed to get me access to the system worked. I viewed a couple pages and then clicked the back button.
I understand that some web applications don't support the use of browser back buttons, but is no browser navigation allowed?
Apparently my login issues must have been due to my attempting to use a browser to navigate into the application. ;)
If navigation via a browser doesn't work on the site, how is anyone to use it? Telekinesis?
A from box in Microsoft Word? This dialog didn't come from Word. It came from Microsoft Outlook; which appears to allow me to enter anyone in the address book as the sender of my message.
Is email address spoofing a feature in Microsoft Outlook 2003? ;)
About once a month, I get this Warning Message when syncing my Windows Mobile phone to my computer. When this happens, I have to select Yes in order to synchronize the data on my phone and PC. And when I tap Yes, I lose any changes made to data on the phone since my last sync. Plus, I lose all my phone speed dial settings. Additionally, ActiveSync is flaky enough that sometimes selecting yes means I have no address book on my phone for a few days while ActiveSync repeatedly fails to put the data back on the phone.

Am I wrong to be concerned that Chrome doesn't seem to be able to identify the plug-in that is unresponsive?
@petermahoney: Ladies and Gentleman, may I present to you the most inane example of an error message, ever.
Is displaying an error dialog to inform the user that no error occurred an error?

"Both cash machines have a windows security error showing on screen #fail" - @aventureben
Instead of improving security, might this security restriction policy error potentially leave a customer's private information, and maybe even funds, open to the next person to come across the machine?
My session on DirecTV.com timed out and I was redirected to the page shown above. While I find no problem with being timed out due to inactivity, there are a number of strange things on the timeout page.
If I was timed out, why I given an option to say I don't have a password? And why is there a link to instructions for created an account? Likely reusing a generic sign in page.
Then, the Helpful Hints on the right state that I need an account to create an account. Using the same word, account, to describe two different things in the same sentence isn't a great example of clarity.

So what is the Error?

IMHO, web sites about pop culture should not contain phrases like "array_key_exists", "the second argument should be either an array or an object", "fatal error", or "cannot use string offset as an array". ... except maybe in a movie review. ;)

The Adobe Download Manager automatically opens after logging into my computer and offers me no options except it. If there are no updates to apply, why did it open?

I am in the middle of editing a blog post that was uploaded to Blogger long ago. I select some text to move and accidently press X instead of CTRL-X. Instead of being moved to the clipboard, the selected text is deleted and replaced with the letter x. I quickly attempt to press CTRL-Z to undo my typo and all the text and an image disappear from the blog post editor. Not sure what I pressed, I press CTRL-Z and the document is still blank.
Then I notice that Blogger has chosen to automatically save my document while it was in an accidently bad state. After this save, undo doesn't work. My text is gone. My image is gone. I did not press any save button.
So instead of automatically saving my document so that I don't inadvertently lose the product of my work, the auto-save feature deleted my document by saving it while it was in a state in which I did not want it saved. I would prefer to press a save button on my own.
I log into my DirecTV website account. I click the My Account link at the top of the page.
The following page is displayed; providing options to sign in to view my account. It appears to be telling me to sign in again.
I click the Sign in to My Account button. I am returned to the page from which I selected the option to view my account.
I click the My Account link again.
This time I click the Sign In link. I am once again returned to the page from which I selected the option to view my account.
I go through this loop several times. I even have customer support on the phone for something other than what I want to see on the web site. They suggest I log out and sign in again. I try that and resume the same circular path.
So, I try a somewhat different path. I noticed that if I mouseover My Account and don't click too fast, a menu pops up offering a number of account-related options. These links work.
More experimentation shows that sometimes this drop-down list is displayed and other times it isn't. Perhaps my computer is too slow, or busy doing other things.
I then discover that all those bullet items on the My Account page telling me to sign in were links to the account options. Due to the instructions at the top of the page to sign in, I had assumed the information on the bottom half of the page was just a list of features and not links to those features.
So, if I am already logged in, why does going to the My Account page tell me to sign in?

I go to the DirecTV website On Demand program guide to see what free movies are currently available. This web site allows DirecTV customers to both view the available programming and remotely program their DVR to record a program.
I select movies on the left navigation menu. I then click the Free Movies tab at the top. What looks like movie DVD cover images are shown above the list of available movies.
I click on the image for Mixed Nuts. Nothing happens. Disappointed that clicking an image didn't bring up an option to record, I select
M at the top of the movie list. I browse through the alphabetical list to where I expect to find the movie Mixed Nuts. It is not there.
Additionally, after having selected Free Movies, I am being showing movies that aren't free.
Perhaps the images at the top and the list below use different data?
Since writing this, I have returned to the site and clicking the moving icons at the top is now displaying additional information and an option to record the selected movie. This movie, however, was not listed.

Microsoft Word 2007 won't let me create a mile long paper size.
Maybe a mile is not a reasonable paper size, but why a 22 inch limit? I've printed on paper longer than that with other applications.
