Digits has asked me the following
[quoteDo me a favour then, when next in, please just state there are people unable to get in for me?  Ta
][/quote]

I am having to sign in every time, but apart from that I don't have any problems.
Do people know of anyone else having problems?

I think it was Wednesday last week I had a problem but I rest my password and was able to log in - I reset my password and it has kept me logged in since then.

It might be an Apple thing. Their server needs to be updated to be compatible with Apple security settings???

Chaps, as the forum moved server over the weekend, there have been a fair few teething problems, which the admins are aware of and working to fix.

To give you a clue as to the shenanigans, taking my own example... On Saturday, I could access LAF with my iPhone but not my iPad, despite those devices using exactly the same IOS and WiFi connection. Eventually, after much clearing of caches, switching off and on again, deleting existing links and re-installing LAF as a favourite again from new, that seemed to resolve itself.

Meanwhile, also on Saturday I could get onto the forum perfectly well from my desktop PC using Chrome as a browser. But today that’s not working! Again, I’ve done all the obvious things - no dice.
However, when I switch browser from Chrome to MS Edge - it works fine! Madness.

So...

There are clearly all sorts of nitshit configuration issues going on, relating to different browsers and devices, and how they interface with the new host server settings.
I don’t begin to understand these things - people always assure me that everything to do with computing is entirely logical, but it always seems utterly random and capricious to me.

However, as mentioned, the expert webmeister from WI is working on ironing out all these little wrinkles, so hopefully anyone who is still having trouble getting onto LAF will see those issues improve over the next day or two, as the techies work through any outstanding issues of compatability between assorted settings / devices / browsers, and the new server...

Hopefully...  ::)

I had to log back in last week, but since then it's kept me logged in.

However, since this afternoon trying to connect to the https version of the site has failed with

Connecting on http works, but they need to fix https

Yes, that’s the message I get when I try to connect to the site using Chrome, but it works fine using MS Edge on the same machine.
Like I say, random.
Hopefully it will get sorted out soon.

For me its works only on an Android Smartphone. Neither Firefox nor Edge in Windows 10 works

A new server is always fun.   I was able to get in after entering my password (no reset). So far so good.

Hmmm,I couldn’t get on at all yesterday,either on my IPad or android  wireless telecommunications device. All fine now,I think it’s a matter of patience  :)

Probably more a question of DNS propagation
