Why does this happen occasionally when I open a Wire message?

[Hellbender]

Usually Wire messages open up normally but sometimes I get a blank page like this.  Does anybody know why this would happen and if so how to prevent it?

I occasionally get something similar. If I refresh the page it loads correctly.

 

I suspect it is a server that is too busy.

Generally not a bad idea. Just make sure you follow proper procedure by providing them the documentation, then they immediately  toss it aside and fix the problem in a minute.

Simple.  "BECAUSE"

 

OR, Try the Sedalia Dave Fix.

It may just be an I. D. 10. T. error. 🤪

I was going to try reloading the page but I found that when this error happens, the page cannot be reloaded - that little curved arrow you click to reload is not there and instead there is an "x".  Wire messages that do open (it seems 99% of them do) have the reload arrow and the page will reload.  But I found that by clicking anywhere on the gray area around the white blank box will cause the page to reload and give me what's supposed to be there!  Like I said, this strange glitch rarely happens.

Click the X. The page will stop trying to load and the X will change to the reload symbol.

I had tried that but the x never changed.
