BearBoy Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 It still seems a bit hit and miss for me: PC: Chrome - No / Edge - Yes iPhone: Safari - No / Chrome - Yes But at least I'm able to get in 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Just to cheer you up here is the first of three pages of Viola jokes: https://www.mit.edu/~jcb/viola-jokes.html and while we're about it has anyone discovered Byrdle? The reason this came to mind is that my starting guess is always V-I-O-L-A-S (lots of vowels). Happy New Year to one and all. Does anyone have experience of converting a live windoze boot disk to GPT (after i discovered i cannot use the rest of the drive, period)? It's good to be back.

BearBoy Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hadn't heard of Byrdle before but got today's in four, using VIOLAS as my starting point. This was before I read the bit about it being choral related 🤦♂️ TBH, I don't think I would have it got it at all if I'd been trying musical words 😂 No idea re the boot disc, sfbp, but hopefully someone might be able to help.

sfbp Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Byrdle is a-mus-ing in that the guesses don't have to be musical words. But the answer always is. Sometimes it's only 5 letters instead of 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hey everybody! Nice to see you all again, and hope you had a good Xmas. Thanks to @BearBoyfor the letting me know about the site being back up, I had no idea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding SIF works on Chrome on iPhone11, Firefox on Win10 but won't resolve ("This site can't be reached") on Chrome on Win10 (maybe I need to clear the cache or something?).

BearBoy Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'm getting the same error message with Chrome on my Windows 10 PC but it works fine with MS Edge. On my iPhone it works with Chrome but not Safari (Safari cannot open the page. The error was: "FetchEvent.respondWith received an error: TypeError: Load Failed".)

BearBoy Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 No need to apologise, @Richard. It's quite probably common knowledge but in the past I've always ended up clearing all my cache when trying to fix things like this, which then means I have to log back into a myriad of different websites.

I've had to repeat the process a couple of times after the "Safari cannot open the page. The error was: "FetchEvent.respondWith received an error: TypeError: Load Failed"." error message returned.

zzzuppp Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 I can't believe the forum is back again! Every time it disappears I think 'oh well thst's it, Sony are determined to get rid of all traces of MiniDisc including us enthusiasts'. I honestly thought it had gone for good this time. Hello again! Ah yes, Byrdle - I do that and I haven't yet failed to get one. But then I am a musician, and run two choirs as part of my musical activities. There's also Birdle (with an I) where you have to guess the bird (feathered variety). Oh and by the way I'm here via Safari, works for me. EDIT: I've just been informed by the forum that I've won a 'badge' for 'First Post' - that's hilarious considering I've been posting since I joined in 2007!

BearBoy Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Seems like we had a weird blip yesterday. Anyone else still having issues today? Seems a bit hit and miss whether I get into the site or diverted to some weird "sponsor" page. Have tried clearing cache etc but it's still intermittently happening (this is across multiple devices and browsers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBoy Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 It seemed to go a bit wonky, for a few of us at least, about 19:00 ish (UK time) on Wednesday. We were getting diverted to a different site when trying to access the forum. @sfbp reached out to @Christopher, who got it sorted by the following morning. I was still having a few issues but they seem to have all cleared up now. Probably a lingering cache or something issue my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
