Bill 1,788 Posted May 7, 2020 it's easily solved - just pour some cold tea into one of the USB ports, give a bit of a shake and it will be working again ps not decaff, or herbal tea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,526 Posted May 11, 2020 This seems to work ok on Android phone but not on iPod. @Pete Raven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted May 11, 2020 Yes, its a problem with Safari browser apparently... I get this problem on the computer and no response on the iPhone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine just starts to load then stops and I’m left with a grey screen. If I do manage to get on, I click a thread title and that then starts to load before stopping.

Surfer 1,547 Posted May 12, 2020 Yes that's the symptom I have on the iPhone - basically it starts an then stops. I had a similar problem with Twitter the other day, except in that case it was fine from the phone but just would not load from Safari on the laptop..... a clue there Pete?

Surfer 1,547 Posted May 12, 2020 Hah! I just got the same error message from Firefox. So the symptom seems to be trying to access the Bulletin Board from the main Pinkun site, and not accessing the board from cached web History - and once in I could navigate to new threads. At least that is true for FireFox, Safari still does not work if you try that trick.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) I just tried Google browser on iPhone and got the error message " The site can't be reached . The webpage might be temporarily down... " ERR_FAILED. I wonder of Apple did a security update? Or more likely someone forgot to enable a needed security feature for the BB. Edited May 12, 2020 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted May 12, 2020 I think that a numpty firewall must have been fitted. I've had, and having no problems using Firefox on a laptop. Perhaps someone has put a spike in it somewhere, or maybe the R number is too high - ur perhaps if you pull a neck chief over the bottom half of your face like the baddies in cowboy films that might help. ps I am going to use that neck chief idea when picking my lottery tickets, with a healthy dose of Vitamin D supplements, and if I do win I will certainly be wearing a mask, as I don't want to give any of that lottery to anyone else 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
