RMweb Gold BoD Posted July 15 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15 52 minutes ago, DaveF said: Back home I noticed an odd e mail from English Heritage which had a header and nothing in the e mail except a link to unsubscribe. By using both a phone call and online chat I have found that the sender's address is one of theirs and it seems that somehow some test e mails have been sent out in error. The man on the phone was very concerned when I gave him the e mail address which he had to admit was real as first he thought I was talking about a spam address using something a bit like theirs. I received a second email today apologising for yesterday’s ’Test’ email and including the actual content that was meant to be sent. 6 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to do that quite frequently with work related stuff to the University systems, especially where large amounts of data are involved, so that would point to local rather than RMWeb issues.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted July 15 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15 Some of you may remember me writing that I am avoiding lactose. As I like yoghurt I have been trying vegetarian/vegan alternatives, based on soya. I can accept the taste and texture though I prefer the real thing. However I looked at the ingredient list of the ones I've been trying. Each has between 15 and 21 ingredients which makes me vary doubtful about them. I think I will stick to fresh fruit or a simple jelly for a light desseet. David 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on BT , works great for me , fiber to the cabinet , then copper , 50 Mbps download and just shy of 10 Mbps upload , the only time I had a problem was a broken external cable sheathing and that only affected the phone not the internet .

Grizz Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Evening all…. Well that’s that then……to be completely honest I lost interest when Denmark got knocked out. But in the spirit of the event I carried on watching and drinking beer…..not for my own benefit…obviously. Never mind. Only a few dull weeks until the season kicks off again. Oh whatever shall I do. In the mean time….these made me smile. 1 1 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Hroth Posted July 15 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15 (edited) A day of ups and downs. Nice car insurance renewal quote ✔️ Eyetest ok ✔️ Washing machine failed ❌ Spending the evening looking for the least expensive replacement... Update: New machine sourced, to be installed on Wednesday and the old heap ignominiously carted off. Now all I have to do is remove the clothes that were to be washed, and empty the fabcon and laundry liquid before the new one arrives...

Erichill16 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Evening All, I have problems on here using my iPad and iPhone. Both using current software and history is clear almost daily and I restrict the number of tabs I have open at any one time. I know what cookies are but don’t know how to clear them but I don’t even know what caches are. A bit of googling required. I may be some time. Goodnight. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erichill16 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Due to issues with ER (mk1) , ER 2 and the similarly themed TNM I thought I would save everyone the trouble looking at each site and create a new combined one. I was thinking of calling it ‘Social Truth’ and it would have a logo with an orange ear, representing our ability to listen and share and with a dash of red on it to represent our brotherhood. Unfortunately it looks like, from what happened earlier today, it would be locked PDQ. Edited July 15 by Erichill16 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really wanted to go overboard they could also introduce an appointment system too. A most likely emergent property of such changes to the "system" would be increased fly-tipping because there's a percentage of the population that just will ........ A midlands council have done just that - viz limiting number of visits and booked times ... it went well (not) ...

RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted July 15 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15 My attempt to emigrate to ER2 seems to have been thwarted by the house of York. Shutters firmly down and no migrants allowed. On the issue of slow loading pages it is not just here as others have noted. On Cats opens the page quickly but the wheel of death then spins for what seems like forever before taking you to a reference point, which is not the first unread post. Photos of East Yorkshire Railways similarly. In both these cases however, they are heavily loaded with pictures. I am sure that is not helped by an iffy internet connection at my end. There are signs all around that announce that "fibre is coming" and I am tempted to annotate that with "by the end of the century". I suppose I should not complain since we are a small commune of under 300 souls and 9km away from a town, so the costs must be significant. I don't know how that compares with more remote areas in the UK. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should see the lens collection completed for the foreseeable. 50mm macro, 18-55mm and 55-250mm everyday, the unstabilised "knock-off" 420-800 (cost nowhere near the £24000 for a genuine one and gives results matching what was paid) and now the 100-400 with full image stabilisation and a few other goodies.
