    Just me, then

    ...who's been staring a 500 error screen every time he's tried to look at a wsc.co.uk page for the last ten days?

    I'll level with you, at first I thought the unthinkable, that WSC had bit the dust so abruptly that that they didn't even have time to tell us. However after a few days I tried the Facebook and Twitter pages, and realised no-one else was talking about an outage. So naturally paranoia kicked in and I assumed someone had activated a an extensive ignore poster function.

    Fortunately a Facebook message from Clive reassured me that the problem was probably browser-specific; and sure enough, once I'd cleared my Chrome cookies, I was reunited with the WSC message board in a way that made the returning father scene in The Railway Children seem cold and impassive by comparison.

    Anyway. Ten days off. I would like to think that those ten days were more productive given the absence of my main distraction but to be honest, I probably forlornly refreshed the 500 error page more frequently than I do Recent Topics.

      Well, welcome back then Mumpo! Clearly my iPad woth crappy Safari has sailed through the whole situation.

      Did you change your user to Mumpeau? This seems to have afflicted those that did. Change users names that is, not just to Mumpeau. Clearly.

        Ah cheers, right. I'll bear this in mind for 2018.

              I still have the problem via my mobile and tablet. Guess I'll get around to rectifying it eventually.

                No, me too. Soon as I changed my name back it all went blank. Took me 3 days to figure it out, not impressive for someone that works in IT.

                  The link to the message board at the top of the page has disappeared.

                    No, it's there, it's just been renamed "Board" as opposed to "Message Board". That confused me for a while too.

                      So it is. It seems to keep changing position, though.

                          But what happens if that site is the victim of a DoS attack?

                            Is there really an ignore poster option?

                                I suppose the next question is: 'why' has it been renamed 'Board' as opposed to 'Message Board'?

                                  Surely it's more important to know why you put "why" into quotation marks?

                                    Maybe they want to give people the impression that there's some imposing board of directors and that's how to contact them?

                                            I didn't - I used inverted commas: you used quotation marks. It needed emphasis, and using italics, I felt, lent the whole thing too much gravitas. I hope that answers your question.
