Forum Access Issues

And as you say you always get your stake money back.

Forum problems again earlier this morning.

Forum problems again earlier this morning.

I had noticed

[oldbluefox]

Most of our savings are in Premium Bonds these days since high interest accounts vanished. No risk to capital and on average we get a reasonable return with always the possibility of a bigger win.

We did much the same. Rather than save for meagre returns we decided we were at that age where money had to be working for us so we put some money into Premium Bonds and increased our holding in HPB. Happier with that rather than lining the pockets of the banks and money men.

So regarding Forum Access.....I note that you can be on here as registered member, hidden or as a guest ( with limited access ). When you log in I've noticed a box you can tick so you are hidden for that session. I've noticed sometimes when I scroll down to the bottom that sometimes it shows hidden members online. Out of curiosity I've ticked that box to be shown as hidden but it never seems to work and I still show as a registered member at the bottom. Is the reason I can't show as hidden because I haven't made enough posts as that seems to be the only reasonable answer to me.

Hi Portsmouth, I don’t know if this is the case but I rather suspect that the “hidden” means you can see it but nosey buggers like me can’t….this includes anyone else on the forum. I’m sure David will be along shortly to clarify.

One issue that's happened a few times now is that when I've posted a reply to someone's comment, when I've typed it I get told that there's been a recent posting similar to mine and would I like to review my reply. I find that if I then do nothing but open another tab on my laptop and sign in again my reply has already been posted so I just delete the original tab.

[Ray B]

Had that Carole, I open up another window and, same as you,my post is there.
In the past I've posted the same post twice.

If you mark as hidden then as far as you are concerned nothing changes all it means is that other users cannot see that you are online.

=========================
If you make a post when somebody else has posted a reply before you it points that out but if you scroll down you should find the submin button

I think you’ve missed something David, shouldn’t I be getting a promotion for stepping in and answering ‘new members’ queries?

I think I should also mention that I’ve been very good in your absence by not upsetting the Royalists too much .

Commodore has a nice ring to it, thanks in anticipation, your mate Onelife.

Commoner sounds better

Problem with accessing the forum lately.
Cannot get the home page to open, just keep getting the timer going round and round. Alson frequently asked to login. This has been an intermittent issue for a few days now. One minute all is fine then it crashes.

I am also having the same issue!

[Stephen]

Don’t encourage him Portsmouth unless you want dodgy chocolates gifted to you

[Onelife]

HI Portsmouth, just to clarify, I was actually being serious about my promotion, sadly, no one takes me seriously anymore.

[oldbluefox]

When you're locked up in the Tower you'll be stripped of your rank anyway. David's got standards you know

[Stephen]

Don't mention 'Tower' and 'Stripped' Foxy, you know what he's like.

Hi Foxy, I’m not one that believes in Myths, Gods, Kings and Queens, but if there is the faintest hope that there is some truth in the myths, the nearer I can get to those bloody Ravens the sooner this Royal pantomime will be over.

[Whynd1]

I am constantly being asked to sign in and it won't let me in.
I'm afraid on my new tablet it doesn't recognise my password.
However can get access on my phone

Not in your lifetime Keefie. You might as well get used to it and enjoy what time you have left without stressing.

So my new little problem is this.......
I was putting my answer in for the alphabet game ....last answer was Marseilles so I tried to put in Nice but wasn't allowed because I was told I had to use 10 letters. Tried to resubmit and still wasn't allowed so instead I put in " Nice is my answer " which worked. But I saw earlier answers that had less than 10 letters so.....what was I doing wrong and if I want to use less than 10 letters in an answer what do I do ......thanks

[oldbluefox]

Put in Nice followed by many spaces and a full stop (to make up 10 letters)

Hi Foxy, I did think about helping Portsmouth out last night but as Daivd hasn’t been forthcoming with my promotion I thought… Sod it. ...._...-...

[Mervyn and Trish]

It's lost in the post apparently. With about 300 boxes of chocolates.
