What's up, Buckman?

[AndrewAventura]

I just realised that Buckman hasn't been commenting for over 2 weeks now. Not like him, usually several posts a day. I hope it's only something like a VPN or anti-virus software gone rogue and refusing to accept your keyboard inputs....
All OK?

Maybe like the rest of us, gone into storage.

Some members may be having access problems . Not sure if it's location related? If I hear anything will let you know.

I had some issues over the last few days. Click on the icon and it might be 6-10 seconds before the front page appears. It seems to have sorted itself by yesterday afternoon. I am on VM 125 service with a fully cable network.

A few weeks ago I could not get on for 5 days. But when I did the forum had still been up and running

 

[Hutch]

I have had problems connecting to the forum for a couple of weeks.

 

[otherclive]

One or two glitches but no real delays

 

[Mel]

I have also had only intermittent access. Just managed to get in. All other internet access is working including the main (non forum) pages of Practical Caravan.

I wrote to Sam. I think he may also be a victim🙀

Thanks Alan.
Update:
I have discovered the problem. The forum has taken a sudden and unexplained dislike to my home WiFi. It has been fine for years. If I turn off WiFi access on my phone, then it is fine on mobile signal.
Any suggestions? Please bear in mind that I don’t know a VPN from a VPL and regard technology as something that should be poked at with a stick from a safe distance. So keep the technospeak to words of one syllable please.

Buckman is fine.
Busy with a few personal matters and Christmas prep.
I’m sure you will hear from him as and when he’s ready.

We used to use VIM, but now use CIF, 🤔

I can’t say as I have had any problems with the site at all 🤔

Are you accessing via WiFi or just mobile signal?

I use both WiFi and a hard wired network and do not have any problems

Aah, of course. You can never be too early to get the sprouts on.

Much the same, Marathons were hard work but Snickers now suit my level of activity.

 

[Hutch]

I could not log in all day, I deleted my PC app,,and reinstalled it and it seems to be working again. 🤞

 

[otherclive]

I’ve also had problems logging in via my MAC using OS Tahoe with safari and Google/bing. Yet on IOS 17 or 26 no problem.

 

[Sam Vimes]

I've been unable to log in for days at home on various machines. Gone away for a couple of days and can log in here. Will see what happens when I get back.
