Any one else having a problem getting on the Forum via Internet Explorer? Been on and off it all day today but tried getting on earlier and keep getting a message up saying:

Default web page - if you have reached this page by mistake please contact the website owner - webmaster@childmindingforum.co.uk

It may be possible to restore access to this site by following these instructions for clearing your dns cache.

Don't know why I can get on via Firefox but not IE - not sure about following link to clear dns cache when I haven't got a clue what I am actually on !!!!

I got that message too

I got that message too

Did you manage to get on via Internet Explorer Blue Bear? I can still only get on via Firefox!!

Funny I used to have problems with firefox - but Google Chrome is fine :clapping: :D

I couldnt get on either, got the default page too. I had to get on forum by following a link on MM page!!!:panic:

Im seeing lots of new ads to in between posts, is anyone else seeing them too! Just saw one for holiday in Ireland!!!!

Yeh I've managed to get on via google chrome too!! But always use IE to get on internet and now I can get anywhere except Forum - tried again this morning :( Wierd :rolleyes:

The adverts have always been there in exactly the same places as they always were - nothing has changed except they might be different ads because Google changes them occasionally.

Maybe you were used to seeing one lot and kind of glossed over them. Now some of them are different and catching your eye?? :D

I don't know what I'm trying to get on with, using my iPad and searched for childminding forum, clicked on the link abd got the message so got on through Morton michel

:huh: Dunno why its not working!! But as long as I can get on SOMEHOW I don't suppose it matters how :D

I had to get on by following link on MM page again today. As for the ads, Sarah you are probably right, funny though how Id not took much notice before lol x

I had to get on by following link on MM page again today.

so it won't work if you type www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum into the browser?

Hi Pauline, nope I tried that. I have to google the forum then get on through childminding help which takes me to the morton michel page then I have to click on link to forum. Very odd x
:(

How strange, so if you go to childminding help and click the forum link at the top on the right (the new logo) doesn't that work either?

I think Richard's techie guys perhaps need to know about this. I will pass it on.:)

Yes I can click on new logo from childminding help, i hadnt tried that, but i cant get onto it from google search, just comes up default page. Thanks pauline xx

Please could you let me know which Google search you are doing to find the forum? What are the keywords you are typing into Google and what is the website address that Google shows?

The correct web address for the forum us www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum

Hi Richard, right, i go to google, type in childminding forum, options come up anfd the top one says childminding forum, the most active help and advice forum for...www.childmindingforum.co.uk/

Oh I get a funny message as well when I follow that link as well.

The forum address is www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum - do you know how to put that into your favourites silvermist?

Then you can just come on here via favourites / bookmarks if you are on Firefox :D

Hi Sarah, Ive just bookmarked it and tried it out and yes I can get onto via my bookmarks so will do it that way from now on then.

Thanks for helping me to sort it out:D

I just type www.childmindingforum.co.uk into my aol home page and it puts me into the old blue forum page and directs me straight to new forum page and logo, never had a problem doing it this way:thumbsup:

You shouldn't need to find it or type it every time... you can put it into your favourites / bookmarks bar and just click on it.

Have a play - you can't break anything :laughing:

When you first open the forum and you have the address www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum -

In Chrome click the little star on the right of the address bar and ask it to put the forum link onto your favourites bar / bookmarks bar.

IE and firefox are slightly different but the theory is the same.

:D

I haven't been able to access for 2 days (did you miss me?;)) In the end I spoke to a couple of people on FB who suggested trying google chrome and fire fox etc which I did and still couldn't get on :( In the end another friend sent me a link which did work and so I deleted my old link on my favourites and then re added it. Sounds complicated, but I'm here :clapping:

So glad it wasn't just me!!! I'm a bit of a technophobe but have got onto the forum the same way for years so confused me - not that it takes a lot :rolleyes:

After me saying I had no problems logging on it went belly up late last night, and again now but ok now via forum help, don't mind how i get on as long as i do otherwise i would:panic::panic:

Richard has been fiddling with it and it works for me now... no error message! :clapping:

Maybe try again?? :D
