Any luck with editing entries yet, Greebo?
*gives Greebo a gentle tummy rub to calm her - and a of course*
Eh.... you don't suppose it could be one of Shazz's nasty viruses? I tried editing entries in all 3 skins in 3 browsers (Opera, IE, Netscape) today, and had no problem at all...

No, it isn't - Jim has been helping TM and I and we seem to have sorted out the problem, hopefully. It's to do with packet sizes and time-outs. The one and only virus I got was a particularly nasty one which executed itself without me opening any files - I have so much virus scanner software on here now I doubt anything could get through!
I have been adding entries and editing all night.

I think she may have the same problem that TM and I had - something to do with the size of packages of code which are limited by the MU setting - can you tell I'm not very technically minded?
Why it should suddenly happen to Greebo over the weekend is a mystery, although that is exactly how it happened to me. One moment everything was fine, the next problems!
Although it isn't a widespread problem, I have heard of a few more researchers having the same on h2g2...
I just hope my luck continues, I have done quite a lot of adding entries and editing tonight just for the sheer pleasure of being able to do it again.

Before I forget : if you have a separate router between your pc and the web check the manual instead. It's much easier that way
