Title: I shall be taking a short break from the forum.
Post by: Oldman on December 07, 2012, 11:07:02 AM
Due to problems with my internet both mobile phone and computer I shall be taking a break while every thing gets sorted.
As some people are aware I can only access the forum via a mobile link. Mobile Wi-Fi dongle or my phone (WAP), there are currently issues with the local phone masts with very poor 2G or no signal at all.Normally I get 3G so not happy bunny.

Thanks guys, at present very hit and miss with mobile signals- currently using access from 3 different networks but all are  :-X.
Seem to get a half hour window and then the signal drops again.

Broadband only arrived here in the village (via a satellite dish link) last year so can really appreciate your difficulties and frustrations.
Mobile phones only work in selected parts of the house.

Good luck !

Its like that at my parents house and they live in a large town in Kent!
The best reception they get is often at the top of the garden. Great fun in winter...  >:( :smiley-laughing:

Hope its sorted soon Oldman.

 :claphappy: Looks like my mobile broadband is now working.
Shall just be lurking until the new year when I hope to be able to post something positive layout wise.

Mobile phone does not seem to want to log on to the forum at all so bang goes that method of access.
