Re: Site Problems?

I put in a big upgrade on the reference section last night and have been waiting for the gremlins to crop up. I couldn't find any issues, but I thought it had been too quiet today

Looks like it's the same issue that we had a few months back where the reference section files and the forum files are clashing. I've switched off part of the reference section so the forum should be working OK again now.

Re: Site Problems?

It's bizarre how it only affects some pcs. I'm running both IE7 and firefox and didn't find any problems logging on and off all day to test if it was OK.

Re: Site Problems?

I might have a part fix, it may have been that it was casuing problems for anyone viewing the site as http://wildaboutbritain.co.uk/..., but not if they're using the www as well, so http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/...

I've now added some code to force all pages to be shown with the www, even if they're left out when typing in the urls.

Hopefully, this might sort some of the issues for some members, but let me know if you get anything wierd happening

Re: Site Problems?

Doesn't sound as though it would be related to this upgrade. Give a day or two to see if any other members get the same problem and then I'll take a look to see what it could be.

Re: Site Problems?

when you rub over the link in your bookmarks, does the url at the bottom of your screen show the full address with www - http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk and does it have any other info after co.co.uk like a / or /forums etc?
