Re: Forum had a hiccup

Hi Robert,

I would like to contribute to your efforts by flicking you a few bucks now and then, as I have improved my bio processes by learning from this site. Would you like to reinstate a 'donation' link or something so we can help out?

Cheers,

Just testing image uploads.. Seems to be OK now. There should be 1 image attached.

Cade - I'll consider adding the link back in.

Robert,
Thanks for your sterling efforts at short notice in getting the Forum working again.
I also have now started using the "What's New" button. Different functionality, but it is easy to use and does the job I need it to.

When I opened the thumbnail, I thought that I had done something wrong - the image confused me for a few seconds until I realised where you got the image from - Screen Dump?



Keep up the good work
Tony

Yeah, a "snip" from when I was testing the new posts link.

Not working for me today.... I'm rebuilding the search index, so the forum may run a little sluggishly for the next few hours. Hope this fixes it.

For those of you that asked about reinstating the donations link - seems to be not so easy in this new version. The forum is ad supported now anyway, so if you wanted to show your support, click on a few ads.

Hi Robert,
I use firefox and run AdBlocker.
But I will pretend I am being bombarded by ads and reading them all

HAHA!
Me too. I didn't even realise there were any ads here!

I put on Ad blocker mainly to save my time ( and Sanity) with all those annoying as hell intro ad's on you tube.
Looks like it's working better than literally realised.

'New Posts' worked for me last night, but it's on the blink again. Oh well ...

Pretty easy just to stick a paypal donation link in the header?

Good Bye Forum.

You are the weakest link.

Re: Forum had a hiccup

I keep getting these pop up windows that take me away from what I'm writing and telling me my submission could not be processed.

3-4 times per post is getting too frustrating to be bothered here especially the time this has been stuffing up.

Sorry Robert but I have come to a much less satisfactory opinion of the host than you hold. I have never seen this many stuff ups with any host I have had and I have 4 sites all of which handle more traffic than this one.
While I understand your reluctance to change, it may well take a lot less of your time in the long run and almost certainly be a damn site less frustrating for the forum users.

Peter,
That is strange, I get no pop ups when posting, but then, I am using Firefox and have pop ups turned off.

Regards,
Tony
