Same here.I can only access threads by clicking links on the who`s online page. The main forum page wont load at all.

its happening to me as well - comes up with "invalid page specified" for the forum mainpage and the home page - hmmmmm - i'm sure stu will be on the case tho

funny i have to load my name and pass word twice befor it will let me in.

I think we can take it it's a general fault affecting everyone.

I'm sure Stu will be aware of it. I've left an admin note for him just in case he isn't.

I had the same problem and cleared the "cache", "history" and deleted "cookies" for wildaboutbritain on my browser and it seems to have helped.

The fault appears to be fixed, at least it is for me!

Don't know If I'm in the right place for this.
I have told a good friend of mine about WAB and she is having real problems
accessing the site. She is being told "Server not Found".
She is trying from two computers, one using Internet Explorer and the other Mozilla Firefox. Any ideas?
Would love her to access the site as I know she would love it. Thanks.

This afternoon the site was down for 45 minutes as the host received a massive 'denial of service' attack so they had to lock everything down to fix it. If your friend wasn't trying then, then the first thought is to double check the address as we're being viewed all over the world at the moment without any connection issues

My friend has tried for the last couple of days. She can get to the page on google and chooses the WAB site and no server found. Wierd?

have you cleared your cookies and done a hard refresh (as described higher up) since the problem was fixed - if not that'll probably be why

one thought is that google might be taking her to a page that has been locked or deleted , tell her to just type www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk into her url bar - or alternatively email her a link.

another is that some anti spam programmes (including some of the updates to ms xp) have issues with accessing sites which include google ads
