:-D :-D :-D :-D

I shall repeat as I seem to have been invisible after my earlier post ...............


I have not had a problem logging on, opening threads, seeing information under avatars or posting


and just look at the number of posts that I have.


and before Rollo insults my education and/or the country where it took place ................. I was educated from the age of 4 to 24 in the UK

no offence meant Sylvia none at all.

noted that you have no connection problems with GR which is my main point.

I was educated in Scotland (when the education system was excellent) and the UK .
Passed my 11+ - but am, apparently, still a pleb! :-S

Where were you, educated, Rollo, if everyone else on these boards had a cr*p education?

I passed my eleven plus with ease and went to Grammar school and on to college so I am not exactly dim either :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well hav'nt you all been busy posting!! :-D

I have just had the Error page again after logging on this morning and leaving the pc for a while when my BIL and SIL called in and stayed till 6.35pm. In the end I had to click on Cutomer Support on the error page and wait ages for it to load and click on Community to get on here.

I see Sylvia has not had problems at all but lots of us have whether we have been educated in the UK or abroad cannot make any difference. IT IS GR and thats that.

I have a very good connection from BT all the firewalls etc that my other half can put on here and everything is clean and up to date as he sees to all that.

Well Rollo says it's your fault anyway so there :-D

I can assure you its not Caroline.

Oh yes, LaGooner - I forgot, I went to college too :-D

Mel, I have to wait a while before the system allows the menu to drop, so I can choose the board I want to go on.

:-D

Oooo fancy forgetting that Maggie :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D. Lucky I remembered it was such a long time ago ;-)

Yes! I'm actually a qualified Norland Nanny!! :-D
Never 'nannied' though. Didn't actually agree with their (then) philosophy.

I went to uni when I was 40 - with 4GCE's, 1 GCSE (Maths, taken when I was 36) and no 'A' levels.
Managed a BA(Hons).
Okay, only a 2.2, but I had 2 horrendous teenage daughters at the time :-S

..mind you, it's probably considered by 'some' to be a cr*p University - but still, I did the work, and I'd defy anyone to say, even living in the same house with teenage girls is easy :-|

Just like to say, both daughters survived, no longer teenagers and lovely :-D :-D :-D

I did not go to uni but I did run my own electronic business and now help 2nd hubby with his business. I am content and happy in life and that's all I need. :-D :-D :-D

...I'm waiting to retire. Only another 5 years of the 6 added on to go....

I only went to Uni to see if I could.
Initially it was just for a laugh - I mean, I have no 'A' levels - and was a (divorced) single parent!!

I knew, if I was going, that I had to go before the girls left school, so I trawled through UCAS clearing, found two subjects I was interested in, applied - and was accepted!! I didn't even have to do an 'Access' course.
After that - I had to carry on :-D :-D

I admire you Maggie. It is difficult studying or working when you have family. My youngest is doing just that at the moment and we are so proud of her

Oh dear JoyDean you've joined the computer Luddites group it seems.....remembers it us not them ...... even though they very graciously say it's them....and all other sites you use are fine no doubt....and you've paid any monies due to whomever.....and you have fibre optic internet or whatever......it's you!! :-D :-D

Genes has been very slow to load for some while. It gets half way then stops for a while before completing. Once I am in everything is pretty normal except for the emoticons which take forever to appear.

I accept I don't have a technological brain but I don't think I am dim (Passed 11+ at 9, went to good grammar school at 10, left at 17 with clutch of O -levels and 4 good A-levels, studied at home for a degree with OU while working and looking after OH and 2 teenagers. Distinctions in all my exams bar one.)

Could Rollo explain in words of one syllable please, if the fault is my end or with my ISP, why is it only Genes that is affected, all other sites operating as fast and efficiently as normal.

No would have to be the honest answer....not one syllable words anyway... :-D

It's been working fine for me the last couple of days, the only thing I can tell you is that on the same day the error message was at its worst here, I had error messages when I tried to pay for my Asda home delivery :-) ( but everything else was fine).
