Sorry T4FF - yes, this site. What other sites are there ?

Didn't see the TV piece - must try and catch it online sometime - not even sure if it was actually GMTV, but sometime this morning I'm told.

 

I wonder if, now we have 100K+ members, this site is going to need a major re-hash ?

Thanks for your quick response. I am trying to send Bill a PM but keep getting error messages which I dont understand. Sorry to bother you. Could you send me a PM with Bills details on or ask him to email me.

 

The error message is as follows

 

nancies, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
   
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

 

 

Nancies me too. I have lost my sig, avatar all out of Cp. Cannot click on user to Pm or read their previous posts ect. o not worry as bill-k said it is happening to quite a few members.

 

Milly X:)

UKAviator has explained that the site is very busy and some resources are being switched off to help the server cope. (ahh, this will be why there is no list at bottom showing members and guests etc) There was a GMTV piece on today, so they are expecting a surge in users today. Some people have lost avatars, (thas why mine has dissapeared) and PM facilities.

 

I did send a message to the webmaster asking this question, but he's obviously to busy, as had no response.

 

Cheers for that bill.

I think you are probally right there bill, it has prob grown well over BF and Dave wildest expectations, which is good, but the last thing we want is for it to crash that could be devestating for lots of members currently in litigation and those currently starting out

[bill-k]

Yes, let's pray that is safeguarded against. Might be best to make sure we've got as much wrapped up as possible, and downloaded if need be.

 

But whatever we do......

 

 

 

......DON'T PANIC !!!!!!!!!!

:o :o :o :o :o

Get that from the back of a book somewhere??

"Ssssh - Don't tell him, Pike !!"

[isidore]

Bit of a generation gap then........

 

I immediately thought Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (hence back of a book) whereas you were thinking of Corporal Jones

[TANZARELLI]

You can tell by the wrinkles on the face of that old Gorilla he's knocking on. lol

[bill-k]

Sorry - babelfish stuck in ear.

 

As you were, chaps !!

 

We're all doooooooooomed, anyway.

 

What's the HHGTTG equivalent of that line again ?

[sallysas]

Sorry to but in but I am claiming simple compound contractual interest for the first time with barclaycard. Do I enter the monthly rate or the annual rate. It just seems SO incredible with the annual.

 

So what's with this GMTV news item then?

 

Thanks, Sally

You can add the APR%, it is a lot of interest but that is only what they would have charged you. I have charges of £620 and with the APR of 27.9% the total now is over 2k.

Sally - you need be clear what you are claiming. Is it simple interest or is it compound interest ? It cannot be both. If you're claiming contractual, it should be compound, and calculated on a compound sheet. A simple sheet will give you the wrong answer even if you do enter the right APR rate. The wrong figures will not do your claim any good.

[sallysas]

It's only me that's simple!!!!! Using the "simple version" no 13 spreadsheet. Is it the annual rate I enter. It just seems incredible that the interest is virtually the same total as the charges.

 

Beam me up Scotty. You gave me the answer above.

Contractual surprises a lot of people !! Well done, Sally.

er...cheers, Tanz !!!

 

....Kirk - out.

Hey bill, any news on when the sites getting back to normal, it all seems really dark on here without my extra eye. I also had a new rep yeasterday and 2 today but no show when i logged in as the new rep bit is missing. Also like to see whos keeping an eye on my thread and cant get that either.

 

Dont like change. Took me long enough to get my head around this site. lol

[TUTTSI]

I agree, I cannot find my way arround without the help of the little ticks that tell you which threads you have been involved on.

 

Also, tanz how did you get three green blobs! what did you do to get them! and what does it mean!

[bill-k]

Sorry, no news on what's happening. UKAviator put me in the picture earlier. I notice the speed's back up, but Milly has given up and turned in for the night. Maybe the day shift will throw the switches bach on. If not, then there's gonna be a lot of revolting CAGsters tomorrow !!! :o

42?

[bill-k]

42?

Too easy. There's a pretty full re-enactment somewhere in the middle of "A New Way of Looking at Interest"

 

Something like "We're all gonna be extinct, you know," but I can't remember who said it to whom. I won't wait up for Deep Thought to answer, though !! Or Capt. Mainwearing for that matter !!

[TANZARELLI]

Chreers bill if you hear anything let me know.

Can't quite remember. Can imagine it could only be the eternal optimist that is Marvin "I thought you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed" the robot....

[bill-k]

Yeah, could have been. It'll drop out of the sky eventually, like everything else - just a matter of time & probability. Sorry, Tanz for thread hitch-hike !!

 

I see you're still "blind" then - I reckon they have had a major problem here, then and actually lost some data. Blimey - meltdown imminent.

 

"This site will self-destruct in T minus [XX] hours." Bl**dy better not.
