Still getting the wretched purple error message almost every time I try to add to any message board.

I've had the occasional time-out message this morning, but apart from that everything seems to be fine.

Edit

Re Sylvia's observation on Avtars. There IS a problem with these. Many older threads do NOT have them lining up correctly.

George, yes, hopefully it will. I did run the clear and all seems to be working for me, but obviously doesn't prove anything as it could just be coincidence.

It is only GR Cookies. You will have to log in again, that's all.

IGP

well what does it mean then "by resetting your cookies", is it just the cookie for GR or all them for the sites visited.

I only change/delete cookies on my system as a last resort, knowing that i shall have to sort out all my passwords etc etc to log in again to all the sites i use, or have i got it completely wrong.

I only tried it as a last resort.

Would not normally do anything suggested by a website when the problem is down to them.

You are not being asked to change your settings.

George_of_Westbury Report 23 Oct 2011 12:31

Why should we have to change our settings to accommodate the failings of GR, i don't have to do it with other sites,( free ones as well) and i am damn well not going to do it for GR.

If it carries on like this i shall not bother to use it.

Still having problems

Clicking on that link for reset cookies is a waste ot time.

Takes at least 5 attempts to log back into site. And when you do finally get back on site you get the error messages straight away
