A few problems with the forum

Hi all,

I'm having a few problems with the forum, and wondered if others had had the same or if it's all at my end.

I suddenly can't watch UHM DIY videos. I could a few days ago and now suddenly instead of the video there is a message that says I need flash player. The thing is I have the latest flash player(v19) installed and W7 with IE11. I DONT want Chrome(neither me or the Mrs get on with it)
I just wondered if you have updated the forum recently or any other users have reported the same problem?
Also, if I leave the forum and come back a SHORT while later(like seconds!) I need to log in again, where as before I would stay "logged in" for about 1/2 and hour, whether I was on the site or not. Has the log in time/edit time been shortened?
Please forgive me for posting here but there doesn't seem to be a "Site news/report problems" section. I would have reported this via the "contact us" form but after at least 20 attempts to read and enter the captcha code/s I gave up!



Thanks


Tim

Its ok here. Just looked at a UHM video no problem.

You may have what I have, I can't see the some of the buttons if I use this desktop, but if I use a laptop I can see them. :dunno: why

I am also getting a message telling me to log in or register, I ignore it.........because I am logged in. I stay logged in for days / weeks no problem.

I am using firefox.

I've not noticed any changes to the forum, I'm using IE and chrome..

Have you run a scan for any malware ? IE can be vulnerable ??

I just closed the forum on an IE tab and immediately re opened and it asked me to log in. I'm using a different computer to the one I was using when I started this thread, so I wonder if it's something on IE11?.

And I suddenly don't return to my last thread after posting. It used to happen automatically.

And now when I click on one of the emoticons on the left, I am logged out. Virus and malware check shows nothing.

I've tried all three ( Chrome, IE and Firefox) and can't replicate the problem.......

Suppose I'll have to try that new fangled Edge thing next......

"Cortana"

"Can you stop slurring please Wine~o"

Blah......

"I can't seem to find my thanks button anymore"-(Quote button still still not working)

Mine is OK. Maybe it's not just me then.
