Yes, that too. Since everything started being bad I seldom leave my MP list page, open all threads in separate windows and sometimes only refresh the MP list if I already think it is safe to do so because it has been so hard to get back from the errors once they've started. The randomisation of servers improved that in one sense but made it worse in another. A separate trick is to open a new browser window process which is not logged in as often that can at least be used to read the site when the logged in ones can't.

I've always doen that, though, even when there aren't problems.
Thoguh I'm not getting problems right now...

Is it possible to have one window logged in when others aren't?

"Ask 'Spectre' in their own browser window?
This should be possible, though you never will be sure who does the posting eventually."

But you only get one cookie...
now maybe if you had two dufferent broswers, like IE and Mozilla, and they saved their cookies in different places...

that how i have to get in some times i tend to have two or three pages open at a time and use refresh button,also make home page available off line in at least one browser an sychronise 2 links deep.

It is quite possible to be logged in in multiple accounts and not logged in simultaneously. Some people use different browsers. Instead of doing that I deliberately set my computer to run separate processes because of other problems which I know can otherwise bring the whole lot down - this is Windows after all! Of course it can still all crash but that sort of cascade happens slightly less often. The most I have probably done is being logged in on nine and not logged in on another couple.

Another way is to not have the site set to remember you, and leave one window as not logged in, or as another account, which is how PaperBaby and I manage to have simulposts occasionally At least, that works in IE...

That's the same way.

i dont know how either! allthough i did get a couple of interesting xml error messages ,i left them on h2g2 group on yahoo so 84+ will get a message telling them where they are.but lambeth featured for a couple of locations?

It is? Well, my explanation's in non speak Then again, 'Amy-explanations' are well-known to make things worse (I honestly didn't realize I'd just said the same thing over...)

It's just taken me well over an hour to get on to hootoo today.

I kept getting "Operation timed out while waiting for bbc.co.uk" messages.
