Hi,
Friday night 2200- ( always seems to be Fridays) the website won't let me reply to any previous posts- the option to reply doesnt appear- also the graphics/ logo etc at page top are in the wrong places and overlapped. Looks like the graphics won't load properly again. Same result on both computers.
Sheesh! as they say :(

Hi Sparrow
I have never produced any blue screens yet. I know of other people who have made that mistake, and they wondered why that has happened to them
It depends on what PC format you have like you say, and personally I do not have that problem myself in any shape or form yet.
Regards
Kathy and Dave
Hi Richard
I agree that the multi auto-replies will be using up a lot of server space.
I have had the repeated auto-replies As long as I have been a member on this 'updated' RSPB Forum since August 2009
There have been up and downs with the multi auto-replies, and I have learned to live it to be honest.
I just delete the excess ones that I have and try to keep my e-mail directories as clear as possible of excess lines of unwanted information.
Got enough information coming in from other sources and the other e-mails get lost in a mass of RSPB auto-replies incase I overlook them by a mistake.

Over night I'd received another load of emails which I'd already received the day before.
I'm also getting two emails each time I'm notified of a new post. Sometime this can be upto four emails.
It could be this that is slowing the forum servers down slightly ?

Hi Kathy,
I apologise if I gave the wrong impression in my earlier post. When I used the word "you" I wasn't referring to you personally, and was not accusing you of causing blue screens in any way. I have turned a screen blue myself once. I was merely pointing out the cause of the blue screens as you appeared to think that a re-boot would solve the problem. It won't. Once its gone blue, its blue forever unless the website techies can sort it.
However, your posts do sometimes have the gobbledy gook stuff and this is due to copy and pasting without unformatting first.
Cheers, Linda.

Thank you Sparrow for clearing that up. I thought the answer was a 'one' person answer not a general one for others to take note of on here. It is how we interpret the words ourselves as others type them.
Yes, I agree with you, that the blue screen is a pain to get rid of. Once it is there no-one can get rid of it and redirect it back to what it was before. So it ends up being a communal problem shared between users on that thread.
I also understand what you mean by my goobedy gook error on my screen
Is this what you mean

The same problem applies to making my screen links functional for others to use as part of my post.
The reason for this is that I tend to type all my information in 'Word' (Microsoft office 2007- Vista) format. I try to use my spell check as much as possible to keep my errors to the bare minimum before posting onto the RSPB Forum
It also saves any written information (ie reports) because of the RSPB Forum having 'time out error messages' that fire us out of the RSPB Forum which cause us all to lose information at times which we type due to the Forum discrepancies
I was told to try to use 'notebook' as a copy tool and it does not work either. There will be another way but I have not worked it out yet.
Speaking from personal experience, it is usually the air that goes blue and not the screen when I have a problem!!!! ; - )

Yip that adds a PC up at times - it is moody, mean and annoying at times !!!!
Other times it is fine, happy and the way it should be - hassle free.

Composing a post offline can be a good idea, but the problem is that Microsoft often creates lots of formatting which doesn't work on a webpage.
You can get round this by copying the text from Word or Outlook or whatever, pasting it into Notepad, and then copying again from Notepad and then into your community post.
