I can add and/or concur with:
- very slow load-up and response (it just took me 7 minutes to get into the forums); I have no similar problems with other websites; - Active Topics is still quirky; I cannot seem to switch easily between Main Index and Active Topics without getting an error message or being frozen out (and then taking 7 minutes to get back in) - I cannot see the NABBW forums either - I can't see who else is online - with my previous colour scheme "Infopop2", I was not able to see "Add New Event" in the calendar forum; - many times when I click the link to a thread, from either the Main Index or Active Topics page, it hangs - I often have to close out of IE completely and reopen BWS. I do not have similar problems with other websites (I add that last sentence for the tech's benefit - having been one for many years)

Dotsie & JJ, I hope you know how much all your hard work and time is appreciated here. Wish I could send you a triple chocolate cheesecake just to show you how beloved and appreciated you both are...especially these days when you're having to be in so many different places at once here! Thank you!

Dotsie
I signed in this morning and the password protected forums were now visible, (diet, critique circle, NABBW) however I could enter all of them and view posts without having to enter the password - and I previous only had access to the NABBW one!

Evie, how did you get your whole name, URL and blog URL to show up? .... Okay, I just went in to check mine and the number of characters allowed has been increased since yesterday. So that's how! I changed mine to include my name and URL as well.

BTW, Dotsie, it seems that many of the "glitches" are getting fixed here...the signature problem seems fixed, the Active Topics glitch seems fixed, the response/transition times are MUCH better today than yesterday, so it seems that things are falling into their proper places here.
And I like it here. New digs, new colours, new buttons to press, new features to check out - it's all good, Dotsie. You've brought us to a great new place, and once we've all taken our shoes off and made ourselves at home in here, we're going to have to throw ourselves a super-duper Boomer cyberparty to celebrate - our first Boomer House Warming!
Congratulations Dotsie! I think we're going to be okay. I know there are still glitches to work out, but it seems many have already been fixed.

when clicking on a link posted in the forum, one cannot click the 'back button' on the browser b/c it's not highlighted, so one must click the 'x' and that closes the whole forum for me.

From yesterday and today, I have been experiencing intrusion attempts whilst in the Forums which, as a result, crashes my connection and takes me back to BWS Home Page. Spammers?

Norton Internet Security on my lap top in those circumstances read as follows:
Security Alert High Risk Intrusion: URL_Directory_Traversal Intruder: localhost(2519)
Then it takes me to an AOL webpage:
host513.ipowerweb.com/-boomerwo/forums/showflat/php...
Then I close that and end up on BWS main page.
Is it from my end? It seems to have started when BWS started receiving those unsolicited advertising on various meds.

You reckon, Hannelore? I do a lot of case management on my laptop which is why the level of security is where it is at. Is there a way to go around it without compromising privacy and security?

Thanks, Hannelore. I actually set my laptop to do that so it automatically deletes temporary internet files visited and cookies when I sign off. Funny. I have never had any intrusions when I am on BWS until those spammers came on. I have'nt had any intrusions though since I last posted about it.

Someone needs to come up with an idea to have some sort of electrical charge hooked up on keyboards or mouse (mice?. So when these spammers do what it is they do, they get blitzed on intrusions. Crashing their network system could also be a possibility.

Chatty, I've had the same problem whenever I try to change my quotation at the end of my signature. I think I may have figured out that although the limit says 255 characters, it's actually something like 244. I typed mine all out in Word first, and used the Word Count tool to check how many characters I was using - and it wasn't until I got the whole signature down to 244 that the BWS system finally accepted it.

Actually, I just rechecked mine (in Word, using the Word Count tool) and it says I've used 253 characters this time! So maybe it IS 255 characters. Isn't that as clear as mud? Hope it doesn't confuse anyone. Anyway, try for the 255 character count and see if that works.

Dotsie, do your techies know why the "Active Topics" is sometimes not available? I like to use that as my launching pad so that I don't miss any of the older posts (which don't show up on the Main Index if someone has posted a new topic overtop of the old one).
Some days I can go back and forth between the new posts and the "Active Topics" page as often as I want to. Other days, like this morning, I can't...it becomes unavailable after I've read just 2-3 posts. Would you be able to find out from your techies if there is some technical reason for that? Does it have something to do with how many people are online, or how often new posts are being added?
Thanks Dotsie!

I'm no techie but I have figured this much out through trial and error....my only way of learning it seems(ha ha)
This always works: (top of page) If 'search results" is available, click on that. If not click on 'active topics'. If you click on 'active topics' when 'search results' is available, you will get the message "not available". I know...clear as mud.... luv, chick

Well, Dotsie, so far I haven't been able to figure out any particular rhyme or reason - and cannot reproduce the problem (your techies may want to know that last bit). I cannot MAKE the Active Topics not work.
Sometimes I can flip back and forth [between Active Topics and the various posts] as often as I want to - for hours at a time. Other times, I only flip back and forth a couple of times and then get that message about it being unavailable. I've tried Chick's solution (clicking on Search Results instead (when the Active Topics is unavailable), but that doesn't work for me.
Earlier this afternoon, I had problems with Active Topics after being on for only five minutes. Tonight I don't (so far) and I've already been browsing various threads here for about 30 minutes.
It's not that it's inconvenient (although it's frustrating when there are dozens of new posts I'm trying to read and I keep getting locked out of the Active Topics page), it's the inconsistency that's baffling for me. As a former techie, that inconsistency alone would make it something I'd want to troubleshoot.

What I've noticed is that if I check out an active topic and I just quickly scan for the latest post then when I try to go back to the active topic list it times me out for about a minute. Then I can get back in. Is this how it is supposed to work? I thought it was to make me take the time to post and not just scan!
