How sad that this Forum has gone the same way as the Argus one did.
The past few days it has so often been difficult to get postings onto it. It's a matter of sittign and waiting, nothing happens, it "times out", and all the effort is wasted.
I'm out of here.

| I've had a few problems with it timing out too, a bit strange. Especially when you hit back and your post is gone! Seems a bit OTT to jump ship over it though, but whatever, goodbye :) |

The server is undergoing a mayor refit. This will take a while to sort out. When I post and it hits a timeout I generally just hit the refresh button and everything is fine ... new post in place and all. Same about when a page is slow to open, hit refresh and there you go.
Take care Control Panel, whatever you decide to do. |

Bleedin' Fat Ass Americans?
Sounds painful. Must be all those Habenero Chili Dogs with Jalepeno Poppers.
Still, maybe the problem is with the Emotionally Retarded, Baselessly Superior, Unnecessarily Violent, Perpetually Disgruntled Brits, rather than the Bleedin' Fat Ass Americans. |

It's almost goodbye from me too. The house sale has gone through and we're set to depart for Tenerife on Friday. A relief for daughter number two with whom we are staying at present.
Will look in from time to time.
Best wishes to you all. |

Take care Arthur and don't forget to drop us a line occasionally. Good luck with the move. |

| Good news ... Admin of the IRISH hosting company informs me that the database work has been completed. We should see less time-outs if any now |

You could confuse some users with that statement. Allow me to correct it for you:
Discussion is about a wide range of current past and possible future affairs, with a large number of posters being from or having lived in the Brighton area. This means a large number of topics will be about Brighton.
The hosting company (forumco) is, however, Irish being based in Dublin.
Any mention of bleedin' Americans is pure fabrication and could be symptoms of a mild learning disability.
