So, this Sunday forum outage....

[ubeaut]

For those having problems staying logged in I have done some tinkering and maybe... MAYBE it has fixed the problem if not you may need to clear your cache. Below is info on how to do this:

Internet Explorer

• 1 Launch Internet Explorer.
• 2 Click the "Tools" menu and select "Internet Options."
• 3 Select the "General" tab and click "Delete" under Browsing History.
• 4 Check the boxes next to "Temporary Internet Files," "Cookies" and "History," and click the "Delete" button.
• 5 Click "OK."

Mozilla Firefox

• Launch Mozilla Firefox.
• Select the "Firefox" menu, choose "Options" and choose "Options" again from the menu that slides out.
• Click the "Privacy" tab and choose "Settings."
• Check all the boxes under the History section and click "OK."
• Choose the "I Close Firefox" option in the Keep Until drop-down menu.
• Click "OK" and Close Firefox.

No guarantee it will work but it is an option.

It's just you.

only started to happen since the new format...i thought they were still having teething problems so didnt bother to ask till now

does not happen in edit mode...as I have just done with this reply...but when I try to make a new reply the blinking curser is there but it doesnt show in the box when I click or whilst typing

ahahah it happens when I clear firefox history and only on the first instance?

I will try IE and see if that is any better

[eskimo]

this place doent like me and IE....the screen shot below is when I was using IE...hit enter key wont take me to next line while while typing this..cant see curser...i ahve no idea where I am while typing unitl a letter or numeral pops up on the screen

I didn't do any of the things that Neil suggested as my machnie deletes cache and cookies when I close the browser.

BUT I'm guessing they have fixed the log off problem. I've been on with firefox for 2 hrs now without having to log in over and over.

I even fired up IE to make this post.

Thanks.

I'm still seeing posts about pen-turning... any word of this problem being fixed?

Answered a couple of times already. There won't be a short term fix as it was a modification to iSpy which is no longer used.

No problem there

[Grumpy John]

I'm not sure if all non-members are seeing the forum like this, but I certainly hope not. Browser is IE8.

Thats the same as how I see it in IE8 and in google chrome, when I am not logged in. the disturbing thing about that is that is how anyone visiting the forum who is not a member sees it for the first time, and It cant be doing a good job of encouraging people to join and participate.

As for seeing posts on pen-turning.

I have no objection to pen turning in itself. What I object to us the unnecessary violence, carnage and butchery associated with pen turning that flows over into the timber sales forum in the marketplace. I am continuously traumatised by photos of perfectly good burls, boards and slabs which would have made wonderful box tops, even box sides, bases for clocks or other things mercilessly cut into pieces so small you could only use them as pen blanks. It should be illegal to vandalize scarce resources in this way when there are plenty of perfectly good small offcuts that could be used for pen turning.

There should be a separate forum similar to "The Orange Room" which requires a password where this wanton vandalism can be confined and only viewed by the insensitive souls who partake in this insidious trade.

Having uploaded a few photo's since the upgrade I was wondering if the old size limits (file size and image size) still apply. File size is probably more a concern for Neil as the images have to be stored on his server I imagine.

John, in the new 'Manage Attachments' window, there's a 'Help' question mark at the top RHS of the page. I found the file type and size limit list there, after reading your post and wondering the same thing.
