Forum Error Reports
« on: November 11, 2009, 03:05:24 PM »
Please post here when you experience forum errors of any kind (when you can get back on the forum that is!)
Errors worth reporting include: Broken links, 'cannot connect' and 'mysql errors', basically anything that affects use of the forum or denies you access to the forum generally.

When reporting it would be useful to know the following information, I know it's a big ask but it would help lots if you could note down some specifics then report when you can log back in.

Date and time of error
Any error messages that were shown
The browser you are using to surf the net (IE6/7 or 8, Firefox, Google Chrome etc)
Were you able to connect to the homepage www.cockersonline.co.uk whilst the forum was unavailable or were they both offline.

Any info you can provide is much appreciated.

Stu

I managed to get back into the forum a few minutes later.

What browser are you using eljaybee? It's interesting so far that only people using IE & Google Chrome are experiencing problems - no Firefox users so far?

Actually Jane, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5. The "Connection Problem" page has come up a few times since this post originated. Slackness on my part to inform you, sorry.
