Another thing you can try. Just out of interest, what happens if you click below? https://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=57 If you can reach my member page okay, but you can't reach it when clicking on my name above, then that would suggest the member link i...

Hmm. IceMaiden, I assume you mean the browser's blue loading bar, since there's no such thing on the website itself? If so, that sounds like the page is redirecting over and over, stuck in a loop. Nobody else is having a problem with that, which suggests it's a local problem to your own browser or c...

Sorry you've having trouble, Ice Maiden. The problem is with your tablet, though, or maybe even with your Wi-Fi connection. Here are a couple of things you can try: 1) Correct the Date and Time on your Device The SSL has a specific start and end date, so if your tablet happens to be set with complet...

Many years ago my husband put an icon of EBS at the top of my computer screen and that's how I used to enter EBS (or I clicked on the blue line in my EBS notifications in my Hotmail inbox) until recently when Keith had to update something. Ever since EBS keeps asking me to log in. I think once a we...

I fixed the search and the periodicals bug, and there will no doubt be other bugs to fix. But I need y'all to report the errors as you find them. I'm rushing about and off on vacation in the morning (flying) so I don't have time to go searching every nook and cranny of the site. Report what you find...

Okay, the banner is back, and colors mostly fixed. I don't have ALL the colors fully sorted out (eg. there's blue border around this message box I'm typing in right now) but I'll get back to it another day. Right now I need to pack for vacation, leaving tomorrow. Bye for now! (If you don't see the n...

...My own forum has about a third of the number of database post entries as this one (118,000+). Out of interest, is this forum using a MySQL database or a different one? It's MySQL, yes. And Hostgator has set a small timeout limit of 30 seconds, which I'm unable to override. I think many servers a...

Haha! Just reading all these comments. I knew the software upgrade (updating to PHP 7.4) was coming at some point, but the server people told me only THIS WEEK that the software was being upgraded on June 21st... which is a little short notice for those of us who have multiple websites and not much ...

Ugh. Yes, I see the problems. I think I've fixed the main ones, but the "mobile" version of the main site isn't working, so I'll have to work on that tomorrow. It really isn't a proper mobile version; it was a quick fix mobile version years ago. I need to do a fully responsive version of t...

Nigel pointed me to this thread and wondered if I'd like to comment. I found it very interesting! Being completely objective about it all, I didn't see Rob's comments as spiteful. I personally feel that if an author takes affront at polite and constructive criticism, then that author should quit wri...

Hello everyone! Anita drew my attention to this post, so I thought I'd chime in.      I agree with you, Rob, about the layout of the serials, and I would be inclined to alter the code to put in the indentations before printing out anything, to make it look "book-like". In fact, a puzzling ...

Happy to share, and thanks for listening! Didn't mean to hijack the thread. Hmm, yes, I imagine a "guy goes to America to meet seemingly lovely pen-pal and winds up locked in basement for two weeks of torture" could make a pretty nifty horror novel! Or, toned down, it could make an equally...

What was in the original letter you sent, Keith, out of interest? Was it just along the lines of "I'm looking for a penfriend..."? Well, you have to understand that we bought ten names from a pen-pal agency, so these girls had paid the same fees at their end to be "picked" from,...

Keith that is absolutely incredible. :D :shock: :D Sounds like a script that could be turned into a Hollywood movie. Have you ever written about your experience in more detail anywhere,or used the precept in your writing at all? Never written about it, no, but we've both been prompted to tell it a ...

No idea at all, Courtenay. Now that WOULD be a decent story.
