ExSurveyor Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Richard reported a couple of weeks ago that he was having problems with the software and that he is also unwell but hoped to get it up again in the near future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshman Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 That would be a sad loss - over all these years, Richard has put a huge amount of time and effort in keeping it running. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 He has. The members have also put a large amount of funds into it to keep it going, me included Griff 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Well obviously something is just not as it should be. Without your health you have nothing is the saying and it is so true. Let us hope and pray that Richard improves and can sort this out. It does seem such a shame that a wealth of information from over the years could be lost. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 This was one of the reasons we went over to a committee running this forum, committee members have changed and the forum keeps on going. when everything is all on the shoulders of a single person, then indeed as we can see here, health issues and other issues can cause problems, and the forum then goes down. hopefully the Owner will soon be back to full health and get the issues resolved to get the forum back online. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 If I fall off my perch tomorrow the forum is set up in such a way that someone else can be press ganged into taking on overall responsibility. Admin authority is held by a number of the team to avoid any succession problems. The forum is also on a sound financial footing thanks to hard work by the team over the last few years. 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 One of the things I will miss is the Tides information link. I am not sure where this was linked to but if anyone can tell me so that I can still look at this it will be a great help. I like it because it showed places and times of the tides , rather than a complicated list of tide times, which to the layman means nowt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I have just used it , am using Chrome if that helps. Saying that it did start to say that the link was unsafe but I have Norton and everything that breaths is unsafe but as have used this site for many many years I just ploughed on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I have to say I am so grateful for this forum and all the work the team put into it to keep it running and a safe place to be. It's especially precious for members to keep up with what's going on in Broadland for those that can't be there as much as they would like to be Like most members I just log on and read, type a few posts and that's it, without a thought as to what goes on behind the scenes Thank you so much x 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I'm using Chrome too but I have the Kaspersky AV, which like Norton tends to throw up the "untrustworthy site" warnings. However, even telling Kaspersky to continue etc, I still get that darn error code . Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem such a shame that a wealth of information from over the years could be lost. The site has been down for some considerable time. I have had my differences with them over the years. In particular one or two of the moderators. Who seem sadly lacking with regard to the issues regarding this particular forum. Richard made an enormous contribution with regard to the introduction of the first meaningful forum with regard to the Norfolk Broads. l There were differences, difficulties, not insurmountable, but able to be recognised. To be resolved. However such was the intensity of these issues perhaps, forgiven, forgotten. Who am I to judge. Richard. I know. I have trod the path. Done the journey. Many of us have. Many before us have yet to experience and will take comfort from the majority of those who like yourself will have overcome all adversity. Respect, and good wishes from the other side. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I wish someone would update what us going on. I cannot imagine what Richard us going through. My heart goes out to him and his family. Surely the administration must know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spray Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I see that the Facebook page for the said forum had a fairly recent up-date and am just wondering if a message was sent on this whether Richard would possibly see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Not belonging to Facebook myself , but whoever does and can get a message to him to wish him well and we can go from there. Sorry my post before seems to have lost the ability to use the letter i. what us going on? sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
