Moz forum response seems to crash Outlook?
-
Hi, Like the new look of Moz.
I got an automated email the other day saying someone had responded to a question we asked on Moz. However, when opening the email, it really held Outlook 2010 up. So slow that it crashed Outlook a couple of times. When trying to forward the email to a colleague, I got the 'Contacting \d1...cloudfront.net\img_users' dialogue box, which just stood there for ages, and eventually I had to give up and force Outlook to quit.
Please see attached screenshot.
Looking at the URL Outlook was trying to reach indicates it's trying to load up the avatar of the person who responded. Which would look nice I admit, but don't really need it in the email if it's going to cause Outlook to crash. There is an 'image not found' icon next to the post, so that's why I assume Outlook is searching for that image.
It's almost as if the image is incorrectly referencing a local source (network drive) which it can never find. Perhaps there is a missing http:// prefix before the image in the tag?
Anyway, was curious to know if anyone else has this problem, or if anyone at Moz can check this out (update template?)
Regards, Rich

This is happening to me also. Using the latest Outlook in Office 365.

This is ridiculous.
No fix? is this a Moz issue? Microsoft issue? who can help with that?

And I thought it was just me! Well at least I feel a bit better now! Ken

Me too.

Would love it if someone would get to the BOTTOM of this.
Same problem reported here - Win7, MS Outlook 2010.Still no solution.
This has gotta be driving us few Outlook users crazy and causing us to lower our engagement with the forums.

Yup, definitely not fixed!
I'm also using Outlook 2013. It looks like the profile image is causing it:

That's so funny, I just got the automated message from Moz to say this forum thread has been updated (from you Roeesa), and I thought "Oh yeah, that Outlook freeze thing". In the meantime,I had clicked on the message, and Outlook instantly froze!
So I would say the issue is NOT fixed!
I use Outlook 2013 now, so the issue is the same as it was in Outlook 2010 (probably same base-code?)
Luckily this time I left Outlook alone for 45 seconds, and eventually it loaded the content of the e-mail.
So there must still be some image, code or script etc. that is causing that issue.

Hi, I know this is 2 years old - just had the same issue.
I guess the fix (here: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/community/q/moz-email-is-freezing-microsoft-outlook) isn't enough.
Anybody else had this too?
-
Ah thanks both.
Did try to search before posting, but couldn't find anything. Sorry for duplication.
Sounds like they are working on it.

I am getting the same problems - crashes my outlook all the time. Would be great to get a solution.

HI,
There is a thread here which at the bottom details a temporary fix until the issue is solved: http://moz.com/community/q/moz-email-is-freezing-microsoft-outlook
It is annoying! I find that if I leave outlook to itself after about 25 seconds or so the mail appears (then is a good time to delete it so that you don't get the freeze again by accidentally clicking on the mail later on).

Can I move analytics campaigns from one Moz Pro account to another?
Hello all, hoping someone can help - couldn't find anything on this subject in the Q&A already... I'd like to associate some existing Moz analytics campaigns with a different Moz Pro account, is this possible? I know I could just start a new analytics campaign in the different pro account, but I don't want to lose all of the data Roger has already collected on the site; I feel it would be a tragedy after all his hard work, and it wouldn't be convenient for me. Hoping someone can help!

Can you create additional users for Moz Analytics?
I have just begun setting up Moz Analytics for some of my clients. It lets me add 5 client's sites to a single account but I can't find anywhere to create an additional user/login for a specific account that way I can give access to each client only to their campaign. Is this not possible and if not something you plan on integrating in the near future?

Anybody know how to merge an old inactive Moz account with a current live Moz account?
I had an old Moz account with my name, profile, etc. that I don't want to lose. By accident, when I created my current subscription, I ended up creating a brand new account. The old account has my bio, Moz points, etc. that I don't want to lose, but the new account has my campaigns. Any way to bring the two accounts together?

How do I access my Full SERP Analysis Report in the new Moz?
Another possibly dumb question... I ran a full SERP analysis report and had it emailed to me, but in the email there's no link to the report. I logged back into Moz, but I can't find the report anywhere. Thanks! BiDFIvG
