A few forum oddities (partly cross-forum - apologies)

[Matt]

Morning folks.

Quick update on these issues. I've checked the backend of the Stagey forum, and all seems fine. However, attempting to access the forum itself just times out. Support ticket has been raised.

This forum - again, I've been onto the backend, and the 'no-ads' feature *IS* active (until Feb 2016), so why some (but not all) users are having bouncy things is a bit of a mystery. Another support ticket submitted.

I'm typing this on "Normandie" en-route Caen to drop eldest off with the rest of the tribe on a freshly rebuilt (pink) laptop - I'm getting nothing unwanted on IE, and have just installed Chrome and similarly - no bounces or redirects.

Again I ask - if you are having problems, PLEASE let me know and give me as much info as you can - if I can't re-create the problem, then I'm working blind to try to find a solution to a problem that I can't see!

I'll personally vouch for Malwarebytes as a separate security measure - it's free and works very well, seamlessly integrating with most browsers (apart from Opera for some reason, but most PC users don't use it / haven't heard of it). As for Android devices - I don't develop on that platform (yet), but my Galaxy something-or-other dosn't show ads on either Chrome or the (truly awful) inbuilt Samsung browser.

I know that this may sound like me shying away from duties, but I'm doing all I can to fix this.

Looking forward to a quick croque at Le Royal, Rue des Dunes, 14770 (?) Ouistreham where I hand over a moody 13yr old to her Mum & Grandparents and fill the boot with wine. And beer. And a Marie-made strawberry flan (which will devoured before the UK is in sight) A fair exchange if you ask me!
