Re: Today I shall be Mainly...

Just got back from dropping Ruby and Sally at Skipton Station. Ruby will be going all the way to Stratford but she has to change stations in Birmingham. Sally goes with her to Leeds to see her off on the Birmingham train which needs a hop of a few platforms at Leeds from where the Skipton train gets...

Re: POLITICS CORNER

In the local part of the forest that Is Pendle Council, all 20 Labour Councillors have resigned and are now serving and will stand at the forthcoming elections as Independents! This has put the cat among the pigeons somewhat and is the first time since I have been involved in local politics, (around...

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS

Re: Test Topic

What can I say other than what I have related in other threads. I can only make a best guess theory based on my tests over the last few days. That comes down to a faulty DNS server at the hosts. The outage through the night was probably when IONOS were fixing the problem. We get no notifications of ...

I can find nothing wrong at the moment Stanley. Just done a test post and it was instantaneous. Server Stats just now:
CPU 13.74%
Ram 33%
HD used 45GB, Free 65GB

Any particular topic that you are having problems with?

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

I have expanded in the other thread but your experiences with the site are probably due to being active through the night during maintenance at the hosts. I think the problem was probably with a DNS server at IONOS.

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...

I think yesterday intermittent site slowdown and other sundry problems are down to a dodgy DNS server at the hosts. The slowdown looked suspiciously like another DDos attack with the server CPU ramped up to 100% and the RAM also at 100% usage. I checked the 8000 line long proxy error log and cloned ...

For the record , it is no longer a Care Home, residents moved to Skipton I believe and the building in the process of being turned into flats.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

You can see the problem in Stanley's posts from Bob in Bobs Bits. Basically its displaying the unicodes for single and double quotes, open and close. Leads me to suspect an incorrect selection in Stanley's editor which he normally uses to edit Bob's emails. Bits of the story in Bobs bits as well Pet...

I have just checked in a text editor I use (Notepad++). The settings for toggling unicode and other normally hidden characters is in the View menu.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

Now onto Stanley's Text Editor problems. Peter may come in handy here as he probably uses the same one.

Long story short. Stanleys Text Editor is shoving unicode into his edits for Bobs Bits.

I dread anything like that where I have to talk to 'an agent' who almost always has an accent and gabbles. I simply can't understand them. (And I don't have Janet to interpret for me.) I hope it has been sorted out Peter. For that reason I always use a chat option if available. You get the added bo...

Re: BOB'S BITS

The codes are unicode for opening and closing single and double quotation marks. Was this received after your Thunderbird upgrade Stanley? If so you need to check on Webmail. If it's right there it's probably your client, if still wrong it must be at Bobs end.
