That's good news Andrew - though I can't see your post....
The whole thing seemed to go pear shaped gradually, so maybe it'll come back gradually too.
In the meantime you and Dave can run riot!!

I don't quite know how they manage to cock everything up so massively? If I owned the magazine I'd be asking serious questions about the way changes are made. Testing? Notice? All seems very amateurish to me.
On the plus side, this site is awesome!

Agreed Ross. The new webmaster is part of a separate company too, and is only hired in. At least Jethros desk was in the same room as the editors. Now Rupert isn't even in the same building as Guy. .
They don't seem to want to comment re lack of notice or the missing posts/threads.
I'll see what today brings.
Does the main forum work OK for you now Ross?
Any idea why I can log in on my laptop OK now, but not on my PC?
Keith

Just had an email from Guy slapping my wrist for posting Rupert's email address on the main Forum - "completely unacceptable" he said - and they have deleted it .
I replied to the effect that I found his viewpoint similarly unacceptable, though, at least as far as the main forum is concerned, there's little point in futher objection as they'll just delete any new references to it.

The main forum isn't working as it should for me. You (Keith) added a comment explaining the new IT guy, etc, but I can't see that anymore? Did you delete it?
I'm not sure why you can log in on your laptop and not your PC? Have you deleted Cookies and temporary internet files? Which browser do you have?
*edit* Sorry Keith, just read your latest comment about the mag removing your comment. They didn't have a problem with handing out Jethro's email address, and if they didn't want the same to happen with the new guy's address they should have mentioned it.

Maybe you should email Guy as it seems you ain't allowed to email Rupert. I'm sure he's convinced it's only me being a PITA. Keith

I can log on, even though it's not as straight forward as it should be, so I'm not too concerned. It's worrying that you can't though? I'm more concerned that they've lopped off a weeks worth of comments!!
What actually happens when you try and logon?

I'm more concerned that they've lopped off a weeks worth of comments!! What actually happens when you try and logon? I've mentioned to them again about the missing stuff - but any replies never address that, not even to acknowledge it occurs. Nor have I had any response to suggestions that some notice of planned changes/potential disruption would always be welcome. When I try to log on on my PC I get the "succesfully logged on " screen. This then returns me automatically to the board index, but still not logged on. Yesterday my name would appear at the bottom for a while as being logged on even though I'd been unsuccessful. Today my name doesn't appear, and I just have the endless loop of trying to log on, being told I have, and then being looged out when returning to the Board Index either automatically or by clicking the Board Index tab when being told I'm logged on. Weird alright! Keith
