    re: Problems logging on ?

    I tried filling in the Contact form, but it wouldn't send. I decided to send an email to the guy at DSG who was doing the upgrade instead (I know Yubbs has already emailed him). I don't know if LMV/Statesey would be able to contact admin directly on our behalf? Anyway, here's what I emailed ...

    Hi Chris,

    I'm Winnie, a poster on the Villa Mad board. Reading the board over the last couple of months, it has become clear that there are a number of long standing and much loved regular posters who have been really struggling to post since the server upgrade. As I'm sure you will appreciate, this is spoiling the enjoyment of the board both for the posters who are experiencing issues, and those of us, who are missing their contributions.

    I understand that changing servers can be a difficult job, and I'm sure that you are working hard to resolve the issues. A couple of us were wondering, however, whether you were aware of the extent to which posters are experiencing problems, and the na

    I'm on an apple laptop and I can see the connections bottom left of the screen.
    Hmm ... interesting. I can't see anything on my screen (don't use an Apple) ...

    Good stuff Winnie, can't do much more than that.

    I notice with other sites the same thing but usually three or four connections. Nowhere near the numbers logging into VM.

    An example would be www.adserv.com (connected)

    Thanks Oz. I just thought that if they're not aware of the problems people have been having, then they can't do anything about trying to fix them.

    I was blissfully unaware that we were connecting to all these other sites until I read your post. That's quite a big difference between VM and what you say is a more normal number ...

    I didn't think you had, Yubby. Just checked my emails this lunch time. Nothing yet. I don't know if I'll get a response, but all we can do is try. As the contact form wasn't working, I couldn't think of who else I could get in touch with. At least we are making them aware, if nothing else.
