Moz email is freezing Microsoft Outlook
-
When I try and open an email message from a Moz Q&A response, it hangs Microsoft Outlook for more than 30 seconds. Is anyone else having this problem?
-
WooHoo!!!!

Q&A mail received and read in 1 beautiful second!

Thanks Mozzers.

Thanks, Keri. I opened the automated email to your post and it did not hang Outlook.
-
We're deploying a fix for this today. Thanks for your patience everyone!
-
CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS ALREADY!!! I NEVER EVER USE ALL CAPS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. CAN YOU PLEASE JUST SEND US OLD FASHIONED TEXT EMAIL UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS?

What's even worse: if you start Outlook and if the last e-mail to come in before the last time you closed Outlook was a MOZ Q&A one, it already freezes at startup.
I'll have to disable email notifications for now, since they ruin my productivity.

I don't know what Moz has in the automated email responses that is causing Outlook to freeze for more than a minute, but Moz needs to contact Microsoft. This is a serious defect in Outlook. Can you imagine if someone discovers this defect and starts blasting large amounts of email to unsuspecting users? What a waste of time that would be.
I am using Outlook 2013 on Windows 7 Pro.

Hi Peter,
I don't really see how this can be related to images as I have always had outlook set up not to download images.
After your response that it was related to images I edited the settings to ensure that there is absolutely no way outlook will ever try to download images, but emails from the blogs and Q&A still freeze Outlook for between 1 and 2 minutes before they resolve to show the actual text of the message...it is as if the actual text of the post itself is being called and queued.
As mentioned by Christopher above the problem does not occur with ranking reports, new crawl notifications, the Moz Top 10, Monthly Newsletter or general email from Mozzers.
At this point I can do nothing but avoid allowing those emails to open and can't even delete them without the same issue unless I am lucky enough to have them sandwiched between two other emails that I want to delete
I know it probably seems like a trivial issue if it isn't happening to everyone, but honestly, for those of us who are fairly active on the blogs and in Q&A, 1 - 2 minutes of having your mail program disabled for every email that comes from there gets out of control very quickly!
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, Please HELP!
Sha
P.S. A heartfelt apology to all of you who just had your mailbox freeze up again because I added this post hugs

Any word on when this will be solved? I've added Moz to the trusted senders list, so it auto-loads all images.

Hi guys!
Thanks for all the heads up we have so far regarding this. It looks like the Q&A emails has an image on their outlook tries to pull from our servers, that process can cause outlook to appear frozen/crash if your version of the outlook is queueing the the server (AWS) for the image. Currently you could work around that by turning off images in your settings in outlook. You can check out this thread on MS' support hub about blocking pictures on outlook: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/turn-off-blocking-automatic-picture-downloads-HP007310739.aspx
Hope that helps, I have created a ticket for you on our end, so I look forward to talking to you!
Best,
Peter

Thanks to everyone for your patience while the Help Team looks into this issue!
-
We are also getting it for responses to questions!

Thanks, Sha. It does not happen with other automated email from Moz such as ranking reports. It's only the email from the Q&A responses.
Best,

Hi Christopher,
Yes, I'm having the same issue with emailed comments from the blog.
Three guesses as to what might be causing it:
- Images
- javascript objects
- the email tracking software being used
The best thing to do is go to the Help hub and lodge a ticket with as much explanatory detail as you can give. I know Mozzers are already working on it, but the more specific information they have, the easier it will be to fix it.
In the meantime, I hope it helps to know you're definitely not alone

Drupal 8 tags and categories cause duplicate content shown in MOZ
Hi all, There is something difficult to trace that is causing duplicate content that is related to categories and tags i.e. https://example.com/contact Associated Pages https://example.com/tags/business https://example.com/taxonomy/term/41 example 2 https://example.com/category/example-category-1 Associated Pages https://example.com/category/occupiers-liability example 3 https://example.com/tags/test https://example.com/tags/test-2 Above two pages display same content (maybe due to similar posts feature) My question here is: Is this caused by Drupal website misconfiguration (or one of its modules) since website uses similar posts feature or it's something else. Duplicate content for example.com/index.php issue has been solved by redirects. Should something similar be done in case of tags / categories? Any discussion / suggestions on that matter are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Why is MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results showing Missing Meta Desc? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47
Can you help me dive down into my website guts to find out why the MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results? And saying this is missing a description when it's not really a page? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47. I've asked MOZ but it's a web development issue so they can't help me with it. Has anyone had an issue with this on their website? Thank you!

Poor quality PDF exports from analytics.moz.com
The new reports look great http://analytics.moz.com/dashboard/overview/ But when I export to PDF, the text is low quality and images are low quality. Not as good as the old report. In fact, the PDF is such low quality we are not providing them to our customers. We're using the old reports. ETA for HQ PDF Export please?

Understanding how moz grades webpage and Keyword stuffing
Hi friends i have few questions about how moz ranks webpage. I just started so i looked only on front page of my website And i have grade A and few problems 1. Keyword stuffing. I can not understand how moz page grade tool runks page? does it looks source and counts all keywords? I have menu with 46 countries in which have keyword like "Freight forwarding - England" and so on. May be this is the problem? because if i search in chrome i just see 9 keywords but in source 100. But removing menu does not reduce number of keywords. So i can not understand what should i remove. An we made these pages for adwords campaign us landing pages for targeted keywords. The keyword is : Kravu pārvadājumi (freight forwarding) 2. On page grade shows i have too many links on page like 103. Does it count menus? Is it so bad? 3. what moz crawls for links, Google or my page? because i see duplicated content like vervo.lv and vervo.lv/lv. But if you try to write vervo.lv/lv it redirects to vervo.lv so how it is possible to resolve? What Should i do else if redirect does not help. on the moment page have 3 languages and main language is Latvian, webpage: http://vervo.lv/ Thanks for help.

Why have I stopped receiving emails about crawl reports and rankings reports?
I used to receive emails weekly telling me a new crawl had completed and the reports were ready and also another email saying the new rankings and on page reports were ready to view - I am not getting these anymore. Does this mean these are still happening but I need to find them within the package or has something changed? Thanks

Can't find email address or contact form on website I want link from
Hi, How do you use whois or other resources to find an email address for a site that doesn't list their email address or have a contact form? Our competitors look like they have contacted the site but I don't know how to contact the site myself. They have a facebook fan page and a twitter account. Thanks.
