In a rare moment of enlightenment I may have discovered something that was on the system causing the problem for people. Hopefully it’s the same solution for everyone! In this day and age, being a webmaster for a website involves more ‘skill’ in keeping the bad guys out whilst keeping the site available for the…
I’ve been hearing a lot of people are unable to connect to the site although it seems that most are able to sometimes but not always. The bizarrest thing is that other people seem to be able to connect fine. At this stage I can’t see any pattern to those that can’t connect – it…
