Nbn Off Air

[Andrewcook]

What happen to the NBN ?as it went Tempory off the Air has it been Hacked? As I now got it back once again.

[OldBerkshireBoy]

No hacking went on, more likely a new mod forgot to put a £1 in the meter.

[ExSurveyor]

It was an upgrade going on.

 

[grendel]

we were doing a software update, it just took a little longer than usual, we keep to the latest version of the software to ensure security of the forum from hackers etc

[YnysMon]

That’s a relief! I was wondering if something dire had happened. 

[grendel]

if the forum is down we normally post a notification over on the facebook page.

[Bikertov]

The forum was unplugged from shore power briefly

I shall try to remember that. I don’t normally do Facebook.

If you dont do Facebook then you are in the dark.   Sorry but I will not go anywhere near Facebook.     Alls well that ends Well.

I've only recently started dabbling with Facebook, mainly because more and more businesses don't keep their Web sites up to date anymore. To date I'm strictly read only. But when I look up NBN I can only find a page with the most recent post in 2019. What am I doing wrong?

I'm also not on Facebook. I just don't get it personally.

[ExSurveyor]

If you search norfolk broads network on facebook groups it should come up. You probably landed on the old nbn page that existed originally.

I should really be capable of doing a link, but I am not

[Wussername]

Why are some people so against Facebook? Some people hate or mistrust it with a passion. Yet it has over 2 billion users, yes 2 billion. They cannot all be wrong surely. 

A vast range of local services, public services, charities, and groups of people who have a common interest all use Facebook.

If I go into Facebook groups and search I don't get any NBN sites at all. Must be operator error.

[SANTED]

Facebook. It’s the marmite factor ,love it hate or it. It’s a personal choice

[ExSurveyor]

Try searching the web for

Norfolk broads network facebook group.

The second result should take you to the group.

It is a private group that you have to join.

From Fb, search norfolk broads network, in full, rather than nbn.

That link doesn't seem to display. Facebook seems to get stuck in a loop. The first page I found did have a button to join. Is it simply I have to join to see the up-to-date content, or is it a defunct page.

[RS2021]

I've tried pressing the sign up button in Facebook and it simply takes me out of Facebook and back to the Website.

[ExSurveyor]

The link works for me, it invite you to join and then create an account or sign in to fb if you have an account.

All the above are true alas you also get the dregs of humanity who use it to satisfy their own warped attitudes plus all the worst in misinformation.

I am not a big fan of Fb. 

I limit my friends to family and some forum contacts.

My biggest complaint is fb insisting on showing me groups I might like.

Our fb group is moderated to the same standards as the forum to weed out any rubbish or misinformation, many groups seem to have little or no moderation, these I delete.

I do find it useful to keep in contact and see what the more distant branches of my family are up to.

Of course - each to their own. 

I just feel it is often an abused medium, that can in some circumstances cause a lot of problems.

It is too easy to hide being the anonymity of the internet but be out there to the whole world. 

And yes, you can say the same of this very forum, but it's reach is clearly substantially less.
