moving tasks to another list

comunica says:
Quite often when I try to move tasks from one list to another the progress icon keeps on running and after a while I get the next message:

"There was a problem reaching the server. Are you connected to the Internet? (tasks.moveTo failed.) Try again?"

Same happens after trying a number of times...

Thanks!

I have this issue, too, and always have. The more tasks I attempt, the worse.

Often logging off and back in is the only way to see if it worked or not.

Alvaro and Ran (and anyone else who experiences this problem) -- are you moving tasks from a regular list or from a Smart List?

Also, which browser and operating system are you using when this happens?

Thanks!

From a smart list to a regular list is my usual mode when it seems balky (it's when I am archiving).

It happens in three environments - Win XP SP2/IE6; Win XP SP2/FF1.5; and OS X (10.3 and 10.4)/Camino.

I would be happy to provide more detailed reports if that would assist in any sort of trouble shooting on your end.

I am having the same problems and so is my assistant, both in PC and Mac environments. We seem to experience this most often on our shared lists.
Using Safari, Internet Explorer
Just wondering if there is anything new on this problem.
thanks so much!

Shared lists may be a different issue -- if you can email us at [old address removed] with your username and your contact's username, the list affected, and the tasks affected, we'd be happy to investigate this further. Thanks!

For those having problems moving tasks from one list to another, just thought I'd post that this should be fixed now. It turns out things were a little slow on our side, and we've now improved the speed of moving tasks by a factor of around 10,000 :)

Please let us know if you continue to experience problems or if you notice any other actions performing slowly -- we'd like to make everything as fast as possible. Thanks!

Great news, Emily. I won't dread my next archiving session.
