Forum

for the web team when they get back after the weekend

FYI

Well firstly I couldn’t get log into the forum because it wouldn’t recognise my password and if I tried to reset it then I needed my old password which it didn’t recognise. This now seems to be sorted. However if I log out, I can’t log back in as it doesn’t recognise my new password and I have to reset it……….

Secondly non of my existing links connect to the forum, I keep getting ‘safari cannot open the page’ If I go to the MS Society home page and click on the forum I again get ‘safari cannot open the page’ I am only here courtesy of a link sent by a friend.

I suspect there are a lot of frustrated people out there this weekend who are unable to negotiate this obstacle course.

Well, Annie B, I saw you mention Safari - and that got me to do something I had been meaning to all morning.

To me, Safari means Apple. So I fired up my iMac, started Safari, typed the Society address in by hand - and went straight to the home page. OK so far … …

Could I log in? What do you think? Both new and old passwords were rejected So like someone else has suggested in another thread, I guess that there is a cookie keeping me logged in - and that means that my normal Sunday routine of sweeping all the Spyware away (which dumps all the cookies) will have to be suspended.

Stewart is away on holiday - and even he had to create a new profile to log in yesterday - so I think we should all PM his stand-in, just to give ourselves a chance of being able to stay with the forums - always assuming we can stay connected long enough to read the reply.

And a few minutes ago a letter from the Society came through the door asking for a donation … …

Hi Geoff

Good game eh?

Fortunately I am not dependant on the boards for support these days and I’ve managed to find a way round it (using the link sent by a friend) However for anybody newly diagnosed and/or unable to get onto the site, it is not good to leave the site in this state for a weekend. A good move on Stewart’s part booking his holiday now :slight_smile:

Well done on reinstating your avatar, I can’t face that at the moment

Hi Debsxxx

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

I was trying to alert the web team to the problems users might be experiencing, especially those that weren’t able to get onto the forum to say it themselves.

Have a nice day

Anne

P.S. Web team: Some of the issues from yesterday have returned, namely clicking on links results in ‘safari cannot open page’
