It looks like it's internal 'forum' links, are the issue as external links work fine, in that section of the forum.
ie.. you have //forum.nbn.com/forum/*** - as if it's a links copied from previous setup??Just an observation!

I'm having the same issue in the 'Handy Information' area too.
The external links are not working for the tide tables...

The good lady and I went out for a little trip this evening.
Not quite the we\ather we had in mind, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway.
Even did a spot of tidying up too...

This thread will contain various bits of information about our coming adventures with the Shetland Speedwell we've just bought called Susie! (F929)
As a start we found her online at Norfolk Boat Sales in Wroxham.
Her previous owner had sadly passed away and the family put her up for sale, when we chanced upon the advert and made arrangements to go and view her.
Although getting on in years, she has fared quite well, all things considered!
Yes, there are areas that require attention, but for the moment she is more than capable of giving us some new memories and time to plan how we will approach said 'areas'.
Happily the short trip out before buying her proved a good one, goes without saying really, so we made preparations to move her from Wroxham onto the Thurne nearer to home.
While planning the trip I was a little concerned about the old bridge at Potter Heigham and whether we could negotiate it safely. So scoured the internet to see if I could find out about the tide times etc.
This was achieved when I came across this website (Trust me, it's true) WillyWeather giving what I would say is some very good information.Since she has been home, we have had a couple of little trips in her and I have managed to rectify some of the 'smaller jobs' that couldn't really wait...
We look forward to telling you about how we get on with Susie and what she gets up to in the future.
For now though, thanks for reading this and if you see us, give us a wave.

Have seen this, while working on lifeboats, at Goodchild Marine.
Rather large vessel...!

Well we made it in one piece and a very pleasant passage it was too..
Susie has her own blog,Twitter & Facebook pages, where updates will be posted (and on here of course) so keep your eyes peeled.
Many thanks for welcome messages too...

Really looking forward to the first trip this weekend.
I'm collecting Susie F929 from Wroxham, around lunchtime tomorrow, to bring here to her mooring on the river Thurne.
I have printed off, cropped and laminated her NBN forum poster which will be placed in the windscreen, for all to see!
Preparations have consumed my spare time this week, so hopefully I can cope with any 'situations' I may find myself in....?

Merlin welcome
cracking monica is that, are you a wizard or a fine example of British engineering?
Griff
I'd love to be able to claim one of those (the 2nd) Griff, I really would. But....
It's a mashup of an old call-sign and a year far too long ago!

Hi everyone,
My fiancee and I have just bought our first boat, a 2 berth Shetland Speedwell called Susie, to enjoy on the broads this summer.
We are based near Potter Heigham and hope to spend time exploring the sights and attractions the waterways have to offer.
Being new to NBN I am still looking through the different sections of the forum and may well pop up here and there as time goes by..
So far it all looks very good!

Had a nice trip to Somerton yesterday evening.
What a gorgeous sunset and view of Martham Ferry on the way home.
