I find if you shut the web browser down and restart it, it will let you in.

Maybe Compass Marine are retaliating? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
It's a conundrum of a problem to be honest... The forums are very old and not designed to handle the volume of users we have, hence it times out like this during busy periods.

We could solve the problem but we'd lose the search facility, which affects us at this end seriously too. The problem should be solved later this year (I know, I know) but, out of interest, what do you think?
 
I voted for no search facility, working on the assumption that Google site specific facility would still work.

The search facility is pretty pathetic anyway.
 
To be quite honest Dan, it must be the worst search engine on the web. If you really want to find something it's best to use google and add site:ybw.com

It won't let you into the lounge but is a much better way to search the other forums.
 
Dan,

Do without the search facility. There's a jury-rigged way of doing it via Google, which will do until you can drag your software, kicking and screaming, into the dawn of a bright new world. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I think you have to be able to search or you end up researching a subject for a poster all over again. It can take an hour or more to give a good reply to a poster, to check the facts, carry out internet searches, etc. I, for one, don't have a filing system that retrieves that - I assume that the system will.

Doesn't a google search work? I never do it that way but someone said recently that you just add "ybw" to the search and up come the replies? Presumably you don't keep the spiders out of the message section?

Re: Wait.....Wait.....Wait

I think it was a triple lakesailor because I thanked Phil himself when his post was actually directed to a third party by name.

Wow, how good is that! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
