RE: Boats!!

Yes I do partake in this hobby. Although ports will never have the same lively action as an airport, I do find watching the boats an interesting pastime.

In Guernsey we have quite a small yet busy harbour with ferries to Poole, Weymouth, Portsmouth, St.Malo, Granville, Jersey, Herm and Sark. Most of the boats are hydrofoils although the conventional ships and catamarans of Condor, Emeraud and Commodore come in to the daily. We also see sometimes the likes of Brittany Ferries and in the summer many cruise ships.

It is fascinating to watch all the boats going out. On a calm day it is also very relaxing to watch the going out and on a blustery day a laugh to watch them getting battered by the sea!

I’m not too interested in yachts, however, saying that it is fantastic travelling on them going around the bays. Rather peaceful and tranquil.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 31-10-02 AT 08:30 AM (GMT)]Coventry is a crazy idea.With MYT Lite at BHX,GO and bmibaby at EMA, is there a market for an expansion of Coventry?Anyone remember Sheffield?
Personally i’m sick of all these low cost airlines coming around. Ryanair,bmibaby,Easyjet are all good but come on, every single airline coming around is jumping on the low fares bandwagon and quite honestly I don’t think many of them will be around in 10 years time.

RE: AFM forum not working again!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-10-02 AT 08:59 AM (GMT)]Kev35,
I do remember very well the previous occasion when Vbulletin was introduced. I was one of the ones who was entirely put off by any such move as the chaos which we had, gave me a lasting impression of the software.

However, what I feel is that maybe we were all too hard on the new discussion board type because of the trouble which unfortunately occured. If this had not occurred do you think we would still be on DCForum? I don’t think so. If the problems such as post count and registration would have been fixed, do you think we would still be on DCForum? No of course not. It’s just a case of first impressions and unfortunately you don’t get to make another one, the case with Vbulletin.

The Webmaster has said they are working to fix the problems and by the assurance we are moving later in the year then the problems must have been fixed?

I think with the current status of the problems with AFM with the bugs, then as I’ve said before, don’t you think if the Webmaster cannot find the problem it would be worth while to have a switch soon? After all it could happen again and as it seems to be.

I see your point that it failed once and we complained, what is to say it won’t happen again? But this is my opinion, which I believe. A new fresh board would be exciting have new added benefits to members and would also rid us of the terrible problems at the moment.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-10-02 AT 08:21 PM (GMT)]Maybe so, but still with date taken into consideration, all I was doing was using the post to clarify my opinion on what I believe should happen. Whether the date was in September or not it does matter, the fact still remains that the webmaster seemed confident that he was going to instate a new forum being VBulletin. However he has not acted upon his statement,
‘The upgrade will occur,’
This could be because of a number of factors including popular opinion.

From my point of view with the current problems occurring, I think that if the Webmaster had still got the changing of the forum type on his mind then I think it would be a perfect time to have a move so long as we had sufficient warning.

RE: AFM forum not working again!

What is to say that would happen this time? The webmaster seems confident that it will not as it says in the forum upgrade message.

We are told that an upgrade is going to occur,what I don’t see the point of is the Webmaster fixing these current problems when a new forum type is apparently going to be implemented? Surely if these problems are reoccurring then it would be of benefit of us and to the WM if a new board was put in place?

I know at first we were all against the move because of the server crash and all the problems which occured,but over the past weeks we all know there have been problems with DCForum and still it is not perfect.

I think as long as the new forums were to have the same features,which we like and we were warned about a change over then a new switch over would be of less hassle and bother?

I’m sure others feel the same way.I don’t claim to be a computer expert but that is what I think and I am entitled to my opinion.After all,can it really be second time unlucky?

I’m sorry if I annoyed you in anyway 🙂
