loppylugs 8,427 Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Thanks CT. Glad he's still active. Still no sign of John. (Ayeupmeducks) Doesn't answer emails either. We always got on well and he was prompt in replying. Nothing I can do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 John is on my FB. I looked when he last posted on there, July 2022. I used to have his email address but I don't any longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 If I remember rightly I think CT said the last time John posted on NS was around October 22. He was never critical of NS so i don't think he would just drop off. Seems to me that is the biggest weakness of Inet forums. There is no sense of closure. If someone just stops posting it is doubtful we will ever know why. PS. I still have his email. He was more prompt than me in replying, but nothing since October.

Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Has anyone heard from Affergorit recently. It's well over a year since he visited. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Unfortunately he seems to be a member of that ever-increasing group of people who have forgotten about, or lost interest in, or disappeared from this corner of the internet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 That's a shame but as long he's alright that's the main thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I’ve been wondering about Albert Smith and his tales of train driving, ballroom dancing and wine club. He was a regular at the meet-ups, often with his lovely wife Barbara. He wrote his life story, had it bound and lent it to a few of the regulars. He seemed pretty down when we last saw him and more or less stated that it would be the last time we saw him. There are several more old regulars who don’t appear anymore, so sad, but it’s lovely when a name from the past re-surfaces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Albert is on Facebook. He updated his cover photo end of April. So that's a good sign! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Sorry to put this here, but what happened to the login box. I got here via a search engine that still had the old login page. Pretty frustrating!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 I never log out LL. Never had a problem by doing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Logs me out automatically Katy if I navigate away from the site for a while. Question is, I guess, where do we now login on this new page? I couldn't find any way to do it. Just used to have it set to 'remember me' Then just hit login. Worked every time.

Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 I never log out. It obviously remembers who I am every time I return to it. One of these days, I'll find a message saying. Beekay says clear off! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 I'm listening ya know ! Now why on Earth would I want to say 'Clear Off' ? Although there some I would like to say it to. I welcome your contributions, even if you are younger and cleverer than me. I never became a teacher, but then again, you never became a streetcar conductor. I hope our chats last a long time, (as with all the other NS who bother to converse). Your servant ma'am. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 When you try to log on or off, is this what you see ? Click on the three dots on the right, then scroll down and click on 'Desktop Site'. That should give you the option to log in or out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 I did that CT, but no difference. I dont seem able to reach the very top of the page anymore where sign in etc were located. Gotta go out now I'll check back later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 I had similar problems when the format changed last time but it seems to have sorted itself out since. Desktop Site didn't make any difference at first but now it does. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 I had similar problems last time there was an update. Found if I turned iPad round so it is on its side I could log in. Just stay logged in all the time now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 It’s just like people round here trying to make a mobile ‘phone call. I’ve seen them across the road from the pub, standing on the five bar gate, holding their ‘phone in the air trying to get a signal. People ask me why I’ve still got a landline! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
