I keep being signed out of the community
Despite always ticking "keep me signed in", I am being logged out about every hour (sometimes more often than that). It is really tiresome having to keep signing in all day long. And I often don't get notifications for posts because I am signed out. What is going on?I got an email from a company from the distance past which may be fake
I got an email from a company from the distance past which may be fake, had 2 now and it is from many years ago that I was in contact with them, the company does still exist but I have not clicked on the email as it seems suspicious and keeps repeating, so best to register with the company web site direct again which I have done rather than via the unsolicited email which may be phishing.Comment on Windows 11 your experience
So much talk about Windows 11, I thought I'd give it a try and see what all the fuss was about. It took just over an hour to make the changes. I had to download an updated bios for my motherboard, which made the necessary adjustments without having to go into the bios sections and manually adjust items, and you have to do that first or the bios won't pass the inspection and the Windows 11 won't install. So I got it up and running. Now checking it out, after clicking on the Windows Icon in the taskbar Installed software wasn't showing anymore and no tiles on the desktop, luckily I had made shortcuts for the most used software in Windows 10, so they were showing on the desktop and taskbar after the installation. I found it difficult to navigate around after being used to Windows 10, and a lot of the useful menu items were missing on right-click on an icon. The transparency effects no longer worked either. I missed the weather and speedtest on tiles and the current temperature and state of weather on the taskbar. I played around with Windows 11 for a few hours before deciding to switch back to Windows 10 😃 The only good thing that I found about it was that it seemed quicker when using Windows explorer. So if you've tried it or are using it, what are your views on it?What we're watching now...Continuing

Perplexity AI free for a year for VM/02 users.
Before I hand over my details to this company, has anyone had any experiences of using perplexity AI? Open AI IMHO is the best Gemini sucks as an assistant, those on android phones the Google assistant is better. However it's good for coding or linking stuff between different Google apps. Co pilot only good forMS ecosystem. Why the NHS have gone for MS I have no idea. Windows 11 is terrible. Why change basic copy and paste. Love to hear the groups opinions.Problems with forum
I have had problems accessing the forum over the last two days; I find myself now able to access posts. My ID stated that I "didn't exist", nor could I access anything on the forum. I went surfing the forum in circles, Under the settings section there are 12 different IP addresses (some internal beginning with 10, others with 81, 82 and one 193). This leads me to think (ask) of the following: has the forum been hacked? is there a data breach? have I done something wrong or posted stuff that is objectionable? (as mentioned elsewhere) a bug with CloudFlare (as I get the occasional 502 bad gateway error)? is it bugs or errors in the forum software? is it a Windows problem? am I being stupid? all/none of the above. If it were bugs or errors in the software, I presume they have now been fixed as I can now make posts again. Any comments, help etc are welcome. Cheers.What's happening to this forum?
