Yes it’s destroying interest. I don’t use the site much these days, a waste of time.

If it’s to drive some sort of ads it’s failing as everyone is giving up on the site such a shame

An absence of posts from those claiming to have found the solution too.
BillyStubbsTears doesn't have an instant solution to the problem,  he has on everything else. Maybe this one can't be explained away by a 5 minute perusal of Wikipedia?

Why are you choosing to attack someone who hasn’t even posted on this thread.?

Take your petty bitterness elsewhere please.

Not a tech expert but it feels like a hosting issue to me. Maybe the forum software is out of date and no longer able to be updated, or perhaps the site is hosted on a server that’s under too much load. Whoever the admin is should maybe be talking to the people they pay to host it. I might be talking out of my rear end of course.

You're not monkeytennis, both those points were covered in the Copilot response I tried to post earlier.

There are of course other reasons apart from the cookies why this site is boring and a waste of time.

I’ve changed nothing from my side but haven’t seen it for a few days so fingers crossed it’s gone for me for know

I thought it had been fixed and told a few people it was back to normal

Next time I tried I got the GCM which was really disappointing and it's been frustrating all day

It’s pretty much every time I try to get on now - it’s a surprise when I get the forum rather than the Cookie Monster. Think I’ll leave it a while before trying again, a couple of weeks break to see if things improve. Judging by the lack of activity on here I guess plenty of others are doing the same.  :headbang:

I’d more or less given up trying to get on recently until yesterday.

It’s amazing that no one seems to take responsibility.

Do not the VSC officials recognise how this must be affecting the morale of their members? Is it not an embarrassment for those who “own” the site?

Affecting morale.??

Jesus wept.!! Yes the cookie issue is frustrating, but do folks really rely on this forum for their well-being so much that when it’s down, so are they.?

He may be referring to the impact on morale, specifically whether some members have lost enough enthusiasm for the site to decide not to renew their membership.
