Any trouble accessing MLU lately?

For the first time ever I cannot assess MLU through the .org address. Been happening for the past 36 hours or so.

Cliff,

A DNS server problem they've just now managed to fix. I still don't know the details but will publish as/if they come to the forefront.

Geoff,
Afraid to say that getting on to the forum recently seems to be a bit difficult, and I've been having all sorts of problems with the search feature, most recently it told me it had no reference for the word "Fox" .
A massive thank you for your efforts: I don't know how you do it
Cheers,
Stefano

Stefano,

That is odd, and thanks for the heads-up; I'll check the search criteria in the Admin panel today.

Stefano, the search function requires a minimum number of letters in the word to recognise. The system requires words with a minimum of 4 letters, so it won't find "GM Fox", or "Guy Ant FGT", or "No4 303", or "M-H LP2". You have to use your imagination and use search terms that are related and might uncover a thread of interest, such as "Armoured", "Stowage" or "8446".

Tony,
Well there you go, I always thought I was useless with computers, so now I'm certain!

This is the first I have been able to get on since Saturday evening even through the back door. The message that came up on Sunday was "ACCOUNT CANCELLED". I just about crapped my drawers. No more MLU?? This morning I still couldn't get on but I could through the back door at the garage.
Whew. Better soon send Geoff a cheque.
