Is anyone else experiencing this problem when trying to access the forums?
It seems to happen on an almost daily basis for me and usually in the early – mid evening. Very long wait while “key” thinks about it, then a “timed out” message. Come back in anything from ten minutes to half an hour and try again.
I’m used to the “Forum will be closed for maintenance for a few minutes” message that we got with the old forum but this seems to be a product/peculiarity(?) of the new forum.
Is it maintenance or does the Webmaster turn the gas down when he clocks off in the evening?
Any ideas, Mods? 🙁

I often have a quiet word with myself, however the chaps in the white coats, say they have given up any hope after 72 yrs of trying 😀 .

My job too Deslpilot, but I only had to go around the corner to the leccy shop.
Dyaknow, I havn’t seen one of those old glass accumulators for years, even at a boot sale.
There must be an “Accumulation” of them somewhere :highly_amused:

Nah Tony, I had let the glass accumulator run down, and forgot to get them re charged at the local leccy shop, (AND we did use to have to do that on a Friday, 2/6p, and that was for the valve radio).Otherwise there would have been no “Dick Barton” special agent to listen to. :highly_amused:

Oh happy times. As a kid it was my job to get it done. That meant a 2 mile hike through the mud and snow of country Essex and that ‘accumulator’ got heavier with every step.

I keep telling you Jim, the Valves in your PC need to warm up before you try to access the web..

Me too, I had trouble getting onto KEY, not with anything else though.

It’s due to the NSA slurping up data for their nefarious needs….
