Paul - see this thread. http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?521381-This-website-keeps-freezing-Is-it-me

It's a problem with ybw and they don't appear to care. ybw are in the business of selling advertisements not creating a forum for boaters.

Indeed --- until they realise there is no more ad revenue as we are literally forced to use ad blockers.

I have written directly to them on this sort of thing by email before - and got nowhere. It is nice to know I am not the only one who it bothers!

Their real challenge is that Facebook is so simple to use and the form so complex....

Facebook are now putting huge emphasis on groups, and it can only be a matter of time until they release a version that is a bit more like a forum - the challenge with the groups being that it is all about NOW not a few days ago - so thing rapidly get lost.

Although the search function in the groups is pretty good. Used it earlier to find someone's old post and got it in seconds with key words of what I wanted.

I agree, the Facebook Groups search is pretty good.

The real issue with Facebook is that its hard to monetize it.

Facebook are struggling I agree. Poor loves!

I know that!

What I meant is that that it's hard to monetize Facebook for people starting / administering groups.

for what it's worth (ok, not much) everything's just fine on a PC...
tbh never bother to post more than a line from my android mobile, everything too small and generally don't carry specs on the road

I’m getting a bit annoyed with the forum , not sure if it’s my internet or not.
Scenario is I will type up a reply to a post and while doing it the page is lost , message says page refreshing , then the whole lot is lost .
Getting a bit bored with it TBH .
I use an IPad most of the time .

Happened to me twice today - very annoying!

Edit: That is twice with only two posts so 100% today!

Don’t think I have ever lost a post on here ?
Just type and post them, perhaps it happens if it is left unfinished ?

Anyway, where else to go for this kinda advise / banter ?

It’s good to see ybw leaping into this thread promising resolution!

Maybe we need a few swear words and a spat about brexit and the moderators will come along !

To be fair, I don’t think the moderators have much influence on any changes that we all think are necessary. They are just a small cog in a large wheel. How we actually communicate with the big cheese, whoever he or she may be, is a complete mystery.

A Mr Marcus Rich is the key player according to my credit line account. Interesting surname.....

It seems he is the shareholder of quite a lot of companies and YBW has lost a lot of revenue in the last few years.

So this is probably non important for them.
