Rob2012 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 The sweepstakes take up, on average, one thread a year. Think we're probably ok as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Could we have a dedicated Sweepstakes section please? xxx Edited August 29, 2015 by Sir Rols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Your Modship, would you consider removing the restrictions on changing usernames to enable non-premium members to change their usernames during sweepstakes? Being able to change name is a key part of participation & the humour of sweepstakes on GB - it should be open to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Good idea, but it can get confusing when everyone changes their names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 You can pretty much figure out who members are when name changes in sweepstakes et al take place. Sometimes changes happen because the member prefers something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yes Alex. Name changing should be open to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 It would be a good idea, it's all part of the Sweepstakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Rob, PG&E banners on my end, keep gumming up access to the Forum pages. The page keeps regenerating ad infinitum and I have to do a "Reply Now" move or something else. It seems endemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 OK, ROb -- latest question. After the new GB configuration, why can't I whether I'm on Google Chrome or on Internet-Explorer go back to past pages. If I go back tprevious to the latest page, the only message that appears is "Loading," And then it doesn;t go anywhere after that. What's up?

Try refreshing the browser when that happens. I've got used to doing that whenever I go to a new thread page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software vendor has not been able to provide a solution to that. Sorry, happens to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Actually, Rols' suggestion works. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altenatively: TRY THIS ONE WEIRD TRICK TO GO BACK TO EARLIER PAGES IN A THREAD ! In the browser Address Bar, select everything in the url after "?page=" and type the number of the page you want to visit (which should thus appear in the Address Bar in place of the selected text), then press Enter. Probably rather fiddly on a touchscreen, but very effective with a mouse/touchpad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Hey @GBModerator None of the forms submit on the site from my laptop in any browser. I can't post or even sign in; all that happens is it returns to the form with no fields filled in. Feels like a database issue to me but could be wrong. Could you check if there's something going on with the site or with my account? Thanks Rob Edited July 19, 2021 by Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palette86 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 @GBModeratorI've been logging in anonymously for many years even though there's no check box to opt that way but I'm always listed on recent active members.How could this happen?
