Technical Difficulties and Faults

Hi all.

Just wondering if anyone else is not receiving email updates for new posts ? I haven't received them today and part of yesterday.

Thanks

There's a few glitches in the system at the moment.
Spanner might be working on something.
Give it a day or two.

(I actually don't get them myself. If anyone else isn't receiving them let us know so we can determine if it's a widespread problem.)

Thanks lods. The emails are certainly handy, but not a deal breaker. I just need to log in more often.

Thanks.

Email updates seem to be back to normal and working fine now.

Thanks spanner, lods and anyone else involved.

Good to know Paul
We've had a few issues with the scrolling bar as well over recent times.
Sometimes it's just a small glitch that resolves itself,  sometimes maintenance can affect a function, There are also times when we might be making adjustments to certain boards which can affect functionality. Most of these are temporary and resolve themselves after a couple of days.If a problem persists let us know and we can determine whether it's an individual or widespread problem

I'll put this query into this thread as this is where I'm having the problem atm. I can no longer use text formatting e.g. bold, italic, when writing a post? I have just changed over to MS Edge from Chrome which started causing me (and my laptop) a lot of problems. Any ideas?

Is it only on this site that you're having problems cookie?

Yes Lods, that would appear to be the case.

Has anyone else using MS Edge had this issue?

@ cookie...give it a few days to see if it resolves.

Sorry, I'm completely out of patience with Chrome on Win 10. Too many niggling issues and poor/slow performance. It's not too bad on my Android tablet though, but I prefer to use the laptop when typing. I'll see how Edge goes and if no good I'll give Firefox a go (have used that in the past).

If the problem persists I'm not sure we can solve it from this end if it's browser specific...but if Spanner, or someone with a better understanding  sees the post, they may have some advice.

Choose "Open with Internet Explorer" from the MS Edge "..." menu and the website will work perfectly.
