Yeah I noticed that aswell. Lucky I tend to visit the forum on a browser a couple times a week

Despite me checking "keep me logged in", this forum logs me out after a few hours.
It's been doing this for some months.
This is happening on my laptop using Chrome; doesn't happen on my phone which uses Opera Mini.

Just wondered if anyone else has been having trouble accessing this site lately, or is it just me?

Same here, this is the first time I've been able to load it today. Chrome had a 'name not resolved' earlier, maybe DNS problems somewhere

Seems to be ok now (touch wood).

Also, rather apt that the homepage banner still says autumn.
Admin might like to go straight to spring next week... :smile:

Regarding the banner situation... I just need to find a backup I had on an old computer.... shouldn't take too long. Unfortunately my laptop and external hard drives were stolen in California which I had everything on.

Nice to see the forum up and running again this morning. :-)

Thanks for fixing the Banner Willoughby... _b

Would it also be possible to activate the 'fullscreen' option on Facebook Video Attachments, whenever you get the chance? … :-)

I'll have to look at this when I'm back home. They keep on changing the code for it!
