  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Server Downtime 21-23 Feb

I make sure I get the 'any kind of connection cookie' in (see Getting Logged Out thread) and now do not get random log outs. I generally use the https connection to make linked images etc work properly.

On my laptop, because it is protected with a PIN and I am sole user, I let Chrome or Edge save my BHF user name and password so in the rare event of a log out I only need a mouse click to re- log-on with no keyboard typing needed.

Don't use this if you are not the sole user of your laptop !
