Mine's been really slow for a while but is now back to fast! Hopefully only a temporary bottleneck that's now passed.

Having to log on each time. Gee I do wish we could go back to the old format. I find this now awkward to use with my iPad, hate the acorns or whatever they're supposed to be, not enough contrast in colours, having to double click on forums, text too small etc. Fiddly compared to the old style.

For those having to log on each time, make sure you go to the new address rather than entering the old one. Going to the old address and letting the website forward you will cause the logon to appear. This means deleting your old favourites etc.

Additionally, at the bottom of the forum there's a link called "Delete all board cookies". I recommend doing this one-time-only so that cookies from the old website are deleted and won't then cause confusion.

Let me know if this clears the issue.

You must have ironed out the glitches, it is great now, fast and no logging on. Thanks.

What is "New posts" supposed to do? I almost always get the same list every time, so it is not the same as the function that listed unread posts in the old version.

Not sure where to post this but probably related to recent updates
http://www.bcss.org.uk/ looks to be broken, just produces an unformatted file list here

Hi,
Just to say I am having to log in each time again now! In relation to latest post, I think the old log in has been replaced with forum.bcss.org.uk No doubt some one will correct me.
