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?

 

[bilbobaggins]

OK, then.

I'll shut down the port web-browser, and start up the starboard....

Good! That's fixed then..... dooG dlo tfosorciM$!

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.

 

[suse]

The search facility is rubbish. Sorry Dan.

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.

 

[machurley22]

Would no search facility also mean that you couldn't "show all user's posts"?

 

[jhr]

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

 

[PhilipH]

Just happened again - OK no search, can you just fix it ... now ... pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese???????????????

 

[Talbot]

I use google as my search tool anyway so loss of the search facility is not going to make any difference.

 

[clouty]

Silkie has a point here

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?

 

[BrendanS]

search engines can't access messages or the lounge.

To go google search on ywb forums exclusively just search with
site:www.ybw.com/forums then search terms


you can search on site:www.ybw.com but that searches the main site as well as forums

Wait.....Wait.....Wait

I've think I've solved the problem Dan





You can use Google to search the forums.

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

What's the term for a LakeSailor lakesailor? (And I'm not going to do a search to try to find the answer /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif )

 

[l'escargot]

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
