Dear Elwyn,
I really got a problem. Every time when I want to start a discussion, I found the sign said ¡°Board Closed¡±.
I don¡¯t know how to manage it.
I¡¯ll be so thankful if you can tell me what to do.

Regards,

Dear Elwyn, Sorry to trouble you again. The I can't find the Reply to this message button. I have searched almost everywhere. And there must be something run with my message boards. The When I click the tile of my message, the page will turn to a gray color and show nothing about the detail of the message. Like http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mble/F3804556?thread=2460162 What can I do? Thanks a lot. uponthecloud

My dear Uponacloud,
First of all, don't panic! The reply button is how you presumably managed to respond to my welcome

This seems to be on a different site rather than H2G2 than I am not familiar with - to be honest, but there is no reason why we cannot sort this out. Log out and then try again. If the problem persists I will ask somebody wiser and more navigation-saavy with modern technology than I am for guidance!



By the way, I come from China too! What a pleasure to meet you.

Cheers,
Elwyn

Haha, long time no see

Dear Elwyn ,
Your are so kind~~ What can I do without you?
I wanna thank you and thank you again!
What a nice thing to know you are Chinese too!! Thank God!
Elwyn, the day before yesterday, everything had gone fine with my message board. And I pose a message in the flatmate room.
But today~ It take me about half an hour to sign in. I tried more than 50th, so hard!
Than the most terrible thing happened. My message board broke down again. I can¡¯t start a discussion. I can¡¯t reply my message.
OH dear Elwyn, what can I do?
I¡¯m really sorry to trouble you again and again, but you know, you¡¯re the only one I can turn to.

Confused,

Oh dear

Perhaps the site is busy... When I get the error message on here, I would refresh and try to, as my history teacher would say, fail again.

Let's not be so formal what with you asking for help. It makes me when I cannot seem to do much but offer basic advice. This and talking about all sorts of things is what I am here for, dearie.

Will you be my friend? It's wonderful to know that you're Chinese because I'll be learning a lot from you.

I'm very glad to be your friend.So lucky to have a friend like you~~

Good afternoon

wow you just brightened up my day!
