A tech issue about this forum

When I post a message to a thread, I am thereafter sent an email telling me of any new messages, with a link to click on to take me directly to the thread.

So far so good - but I have found, over a long period, that the link only works about half the time: the rest of the time I get an error message and have to navigate to the site using my 'favourites' links. This does not happen to me with any other forum, so I am puzzled - why does it only work for some of the time?

What does the error message say?

 

I don't recall the exact words - it's the usual 'page not available' you get when a connection can't be made.

 

Trey making a screenshot next time you come across the error, and post it here. I have a few suggestions, but some of them are a bit long-winded.

 

Ironically, the links to this thread are working fine :roll:

 

He he - it's a conspiracy!

This gives added suspecion to my ideathat it happens when a thread is moved.

 

Aha! it didn't work this time!

The message I get is a full-page one, headed 'The page cannot be displayed' and the heading on the link tag at the bottom is 'cannot find server'.

 

I've had that one a few times over the last couple of months - sometimes for up to two hours before the server comes back as well. No idea what it is though :cry:

 

This forum is bugged. Many things about it do not or not always function properly. I have sent the site owner repeated emails urging him to update the forum and fix the errors if possible, but so far this has not had the desired result.

I am sorry.
