Technical woes 2

[Stell]

As the other one doesn't work, I decided to start another one as I've got a problem with my TV. I've got a LG 24 TQ5 10S-PZ Smart TV and, last Sunday, I was watching it when it suffered an outage. I re-tuned it and lost 39 Freeview channels. So, I contacted a technician from LG and the man tried to help me to bring the channels back. But, in doing so, the TV lost more Freeview channels and is now down to 24 of them. He then told me to contact Freeview, which I did. As I'm still waiting for a reply from them, is there any expert who knows how I can bring back all the missing channels.

[themass15]

Have you tried retuning?

[Stell]

Yes. It still comes up with the same 24 channels. My sister and brother-in-law told me, yesterday, I can take my TV over to their house on Saturday to see what happens as they didn't have a power outage and they live about two miles away from me.

[Stell]

Forum - Technical Issues also doesn't work on my laptop anymore, which is why I also started this one.

[Stell]

I re-tuned my TV, earlier, and it found three more channels. But, I'll still be taking it over to my sister and brother-in-law's house on Saturday.

[Stell]

I re-tuned my TV, yesterday, at their house and it found more channels. It suddenly went up to 42 channels. So, I decided to see if I could re-tune it again by using my parents TV earlier. It worked and the TV is back to normal and, hopefully, I won't have anymore problems.

My AMFF email may have been hacked. Please ignore any messages from me.
Thanks.

[exislander]

Thanks Sally, I was going to ignore the 2 messages I had received as I am always suspicious of messages like those.

[cazza99]

I had an email from you a few minutes ago. Thought it a bit strange. In fact it was sent twice.

[JAMES4578]

I received a message too.

[Sallydaisy]

Please note that I cannot open Private Messages in the forum so please post in here if you have any queries.

I've just sent an email from the AMFF account having changed the password!!!

Apologies if you received the dodgy email relating to a bout of laryngitis!

[Speedy Hawk]

I got that email too and I replied 1st one before kicking myself cos I realised it not you after I sent it. 2nd email which I got reply make it obvious that it is fake.

[cazza99]

I replied to the first one as I've got a bad throat too and am brain fogged.

The 2nd email obviously a fake, but still says from your email address, want me to go out and buy an Apple Gift card.

[Speedy Hawk]

cazza99 I got bad throat too and cold, and cough so brain was slow today too, doh!

I got exact same 2nd email too. I ignored that and delete it.

[patmoren]

I got that too. Have sent a message on the site before seeing this post. Glad I did the right thing and sent it straight into the junk folder.

[Jan]

Me too!

[themass15]

I received it and deleted it immediately

[Sallydaisy]

To those sending me Private Messages.
I cannot read them!!!!!
So honestly there is no point continuing to use that method to contact me.
If it's private send an email to the AMFF address which is now secured.
:thanks:

[millypops]

I recieved an odd message as well, I did think it strange t the time

[Stell]

I received it as well and deleted it.

I have an Acer Chromebook 15 laptop. It now, when I want to type a letter to someone, it keeps coming up with 'this version of Google Chrome is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser. Dismiss'. I've clicked on supported browser and then Chrome. But, what do I do next?

[Hawkeye]

On a Chromebook, Chrome should automatically update, but if your device is quite old it may have past its built-in lifespan. You can continue to use it after that, but it will no longer update. The message you are getting should be able to be dismissed and then you can continue.

[exislander]

Why do I frequently get a "cannot decode raw data" error message when trying to access the forum? It persists for a few hours then is ok again.

[Stell]

I, sometimes, get a error message when I'm trying to access the forum. It then works again either a few hours later or the next day.

[Sallydaisy]

Yeah, it happens sometimes.

[exislander]

"Sometimes" seems to be for several hours almost every day recently - it used to be a rare occurrence for me. Ah well, at least it works some of the time........:thumbup:

[clancy]

I can't get into the forum most days at some point, then when I try it just by chance, it works! Perhaps it's just getting old like some of us! x

[Genbrit]

I'm just thankful it's still going. Many thanks for that. I know the end will come eventually and it'll be a big void in my life after all these years. The forum has been a wonderful place to share our love of Andy from the very beginning.
Still remember him coming on to chat with us or is my memory jaded??

[JAMES4578]

Yes Andy did come on the forum in the early days (when it was the official one), a lot of memories though not so many regular posters nowadays. Have encountered some errors most days recently.

[Speedy Hawk]

Yes Andy did used to official forum and so did Judy too.

[exislander]

Grateful thanks to whoever fixed the posting problem of the last few days!

[cazza99]

The problem has now been fixed. :)

[Sallydaisy]

Take a bow those clever folk who have fixed us!!!
:worship:

[JAMES4578]

Glad it is sorted,had been getting Database errors for days.

[Jan]

Phew! Thank you!

[Stell]

I'd been getting database error last week as well.

[Stell]

Working again, after I kept getting an error message during the last couple of days.

[Stell]

Working again, after I kept getting an error message saying http error 503 for the last few days.

[Jane]

I often get "this site is not working" - or something like that.:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

Sorry folks, still getting server issues.
Hopefully we'll be OK for a while.

[Guerkins2]

Thanks for sorting

[Genbrit]

Thank you for figuring it out. Much appreciated.

[Stell]

It's suddenly working, again, after I got the same error message this morning. So, many thanks.

[JAMES4578]

constant coding errors when trying to post on Wimbledon Wta Thread the last 4 days but was ok elsewhere. Now it is happening on the Main Wimbledon thread, posted there earlier today though.

[Sallydaisy]

Hi all, things have been settled for a while but yesterday our service provider
was down for a few hours and we were not the only ones affected. All back
in action now; apologies for the inconvenience.

[Sallydaisy]

Hi all
Apologies if you couldn't get in yesterday (I couldn't either!!!).
There was a problem with our service provider which is now resolved.
:thumbup:

[Speedy Hawk]

Ah I see, that why I couldn't get on yesterday. Thanks Sally.

[Genbrit]

Thanks Sally, appreciate that the forum is still going.

[Sallydaisy]

Aha! We are back!!!
Sorry for the outage but there was more than one Forum affected so it looks as though the problem is resolved.

[Sallydaisy]

There still appear to be some issues - apologies but it's out of our hands.

[JAMES4578]

Thanks Sally, it is frustrating at times though.

[Sallydaisy]

Despite the long hiatus the forum has recovered and we are back and able to post.
:thanks:

[JAMES4578]

Glad to be back!

[exislander]

So glad it has been fixed! Thanks!

[cazza99]

Glad to be back. That was a long one :)

[Teresa]

Glad to be back. I still pop back quite often to read if not always to post.

[Genbrit]

Thanks Sally. Was getting worried there. Really appreciate what you do to continue to keep the site running. Just feels like family and I panic a little when I think about when we're not able to communicate here.

[JAMES4578]

it was a bit worrying, according to the stats only 18 Active Members now though. Nowadays a lot of folk just use social Media (I still like to come on here as well).

[Speedy Hawk]

Even though I don't post too often but I still check here quite often, once a day. Especially near and during slams.

[JAMES4578]

Having problems right now in Queens/Nottingham thread, unable to post or edit (was ok earlier). still receiving errors and not posting any links (though know to leave space in ht tp when doing so) I have also cleared cache, oh well will try later- thanks Sally and cazza. :thumbup:

[cazza99]

It is OK with me. Hopefully it will be OK later James.

[Sallydaisy]

Sorry for the downtime with the forum.
It's caused by spambots overloading our system and nothing we can do about it.
They usually go away after a few days ... and 'guests' then go back to manageable levels.

[Speedy Hawk]

Ah I see that why. I been wondering why forum seem be down most of time.
