I have had problems accessing this site over the past 24hours, and often get just a blank white screen. It seems ok for a while but then goes into a strop and won't grant me access. Other web sites have not been a problem!
Are any other ABers having this problem ... or is it just me who is out of favour?? ;0)

Hi Sarumite...when I log on it loads to pages well gone by! If I refresh it then loads up. Sometimes I get the white page with just partial text on, but after a couple of attempts it comes through alright. Jope you manage to stay okay...good luck!

[paulineward]

sorry....hope you manage to stay on...that should have been!

I get that too occasionally sarumite. Not sure if it is the site or my internet connection. But I have not had any problems so far today.

You could probably have a saltatory, orthopterous insect in your computer! ☺

[sarumite]

You may be right rogerr ... but I've just spent 30 minutes on phone to deepest India, and a very helpful rep has guided me through the inner depths of cyberspace to remove these 'orrible little bugs! Hope we might be ok now. ☺

Oh! Please don't let us lose connection with sarumite. Who would I tease?
But on a more serious note. When I use his nib's computer I have the problem you describe. On my own computer the only problem I have is that by the time my answer makes it to the questioner there is a three to four minute delay.

[sarumite]

All seems to be OK now ont-ice, so getting ready for another round of in-fighting this weekend !! ;0)

[paulineward]

Now, now...you are both my friends....good fun watching you both though!!!

Here is Mr O. Thank you for asking about me when I had my bout of the cold. I am alright now.
I wish you well. One day at a time I hope that you are taking?
Now I am away as madam needs some help at the bird feeder. It was nice to finally meet you at the time when I would be on the computer.

[paulineward]

So sorry only just seen your post. How nice to speak to the man himself!! hope you are feeling much better. Mrs O did very well in your absence, but nice to see you both fighting it out together this weekend!
It is one day at a time for me...has helped coming on here, but somedays can catch me unawares. Thanks so much for thinking of me and posting.
Kindest regards to you both.
Pauline xx

Pauline. Before I sign off. Yes, he did see your message and was delighted to be on line at the same time as you were. It doesn't often happen. Then I had to call him as I get a bit hysterical when I see hawks circling our bird feeder.
Good night for now. Sleep well.
O-ice
