This morning I signed in, read a pm, started looking at the forums, tried to post on one of them and was told that I had to log in with a valid user name etc. I tried repeatedly to log in and kept getting a message that I didn't understand – something about URL and the server not finding it. Just when I was about to give up, it all turned okay again.

It did it again just now and I have logged in about a dozen times. What the hell is a servlet?

I have just spent time typing post to be told server not accepting posts to this address and to try later.
Have we been invaded by little people or what ?

It's just done it a third time. I wonder if it is the Christmas emoticons. The biscuit one doesn't work anyway. (That's fabomination to you Bags.)

I have just spent 10 minutes starting a new thread, and it collapsed again. What a waste of time and effort. I'm off.

Tech was doing a bit of an upgrade (nothing visible, but all in the service of greater speed and efficiency) so I think it's possible we had to switch off and switch on again <advanced techspeak> briefly. Seems to be OK now - obviously let us know if not.

I have just logged in for the fifth time this morning. All pictures and emoticons have reversed out question marks on a blue background, so obviously not quite sorted out.

I expect they buggered messed it up when they did the advanced tech thing of turning it off and on again.

As evry fule nose, this has to be followed by banging your hand on the top. (Rolls eyes and shakes head)

I logged in this morning and typed out a post to a thread, when I clicked on post message, it went to preview, i then had to log in again only to find my post had disappeared so I gave up and went out to have lunch with my sisters in law!

I'm having problems with getting to the end of posts as the little boxes that say 'next, previous, last' have vanished.

I've had to scroll through 31 pages to make a post on one thread confused
