Tons of glitches

From losing reviews to not being able to post on the forums there are tons of glitches on the site. I just spent over an hour and a half trying to post this rather interesting interview I did with Rainer Wahlmann ( dies irae, Green Wave ). What really ticks me is that I put a lot of work into preparing the questions and the man took the time to answer them. And It's a pretty amazing interview.

 I'm getting very frustrated with wasing all this time. 

The best way to experience PA and the forum is to use recent browser IE8, Firefox 3, Chrome, Opera.

Dean, 

Just back from a "holiday".....

I will post a new interview now and see if this works/if there is still a glitch. 

If I can make it work and he/she cannot make it work, Vibrationbaby sends me the interview and I post it and credits it to him/her.

Oh No... I've just switched that on and it's dreadful - All I can see in your quote box is crap-loads of DHTML like this:

span ="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;

That's not going to work.

I've never had these problems, and my browser isn't new.

M@X - that "time expired thing" Ian is referring to is an SQL timeout message like this:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '800nnnnn' 

Timeout expired

Yes, I went to Future Shop, the local experts in electronics who deal with everything from computers to large TV screens and I asked for a technician and he even couldn't do this and gave me an explanation in computereese why it couldn't be done. So I said to him "it's the site then?" and he said "yeah it's the site". So I dunno. I've got a really great interview and it can't be posted. What really irks me is that I spent a lot of my spare time on this. What I'm going to do is post it on my personal site and link it and whoever wants to read it can go there.

I have. Now someone else is telling me it's the f**king goddam server. Why do these computers always f**k up.. When I was growing up we had something called mail. You put something in a box or envelope that you wanted to send to someone and  went to the corner put it in a red box and then a man in a truck would come and empty everything people put in the red box and put it in his truck and take them to a big post office  warehouse where they were sorted according to where each item was supposed to go and a few days later they would arrive at their destination. You get the gist.

When I was in the air force I flew the plane ( the F-111C ) you see in my signature. Although the plane looks quite modern it was from the 1960s and was used in the Vietnam war. It had a goddam computer added to  it in later years which was operated by the navigator who sat beside me. The thing would always die on us and either we would have to scrub the mission or go on manual. The computer was supposed to allow the aircraft follow terrain at low level avoiding obstacles and adjusting to changes in terrain features. About 8 aircraft were lost as a result of the computer screwing up and flying the aircraft into the ground killing 16 good men.

Now I don't have the time to post this rather excellent interview that I conducted in June because I am busy for the next few days because of a goddam computer. I am seriously considering getting rid of it.
I'm going to go and have few beers.
