They are updating the archive but there is a real problem. The text is great. Pretty well however much ou enlarge the page the text retains its clarity. This makes reading the page very easy - much better han before. BUT The same isn't true for the pictures. They are very low quality and just get worse as you make the page large enough to read the text. They really are very poor. The pictures are way below the quality that they had before. I am mentioning this before they have converted most issues to the new system in the hope that it cn be changed. As it is I wouldn't value the archive very highly.

Success.   Thank you all for your help. I thought that I wuld report what happened in case it happens to anyone else.   I run AVG anti virus, SpyBot resident shield and Zone Alarm.   I had tried suspending each of them & it made no difference but I uninstalled each of them and then reisnstalled & it now works fine. Which one it was & why I have no idea but I have a solution.   Once again thank you all.

It is very kind of several of you to tell me that the links work for you, but my problem is that they don't work for me & I need to find out why.   ChrisEdited By Chris E on 04/01/2011 15:44:30

I know that everyone else can get it OK but this is what I get. The webpage "66.228.117.24" cannot be found DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken. Suggestion - search the Web: Are you looking for: 1.Travel 6.Software 2.Media 7.Electrical Appliance 3.Shopping 8.Gift Basket 4.Computers 9.Holidays 5.Hardware 10.Films   You can try again by typing the URL here: The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. Other options to try: Click the Refresh button, or try again later.If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.To attempt fixing network connectivity problems, click Tools, and then click "Diagnose Connection Problems..."See if your Internet connection settings are being detected. You can set Microsoft Windows to examine your network and automatically discover network connection settings (if your network administrator has enabled this setting). Click the Back button to try another link. How to disable the URL Error Redirection?       I have pinged the site but get no packets back, tried a different web browser, checked the settings & barred sites in my router, temporarily disabled all my anti virus bits -AVG2011, tried my wifes laptop which shares the same router & she cannot get it either.   I don't know what to try next as all the other sites that I visit seem fine.   Chris

I have now tried a different web browser - Google Chrome - and disabled my whole anti virus system - AVG - & I still can't get RCGroups.   My service provider has not barred RCGroups.   I am getting desperate - help please   Chris   PS please remember that my wifes laptop cannot get it either. We are using the same Netgear router but as far as I know nothing has changed since I could get RCGroups.

Awaiting reply to my email - not holding my breath on a bank holiday weekend!   Chris

I have tried google search, typing in the web address etc & it makes no difference.   I use Namesco. It is a small provider not one of the big ones

Yes. I switch off my whole computer- including the router - at the end of every session. This problem has existed for several weeks.   Chris

Tried pinging & got back:   Ping statistics for 66.228.117.24 with 32 bytes of data: Packets: sent =4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)   Does that help?   I ran  the flushing programme as administrator but it has not made any difference.   I have e mailed my service provider with the problem & await their comment to see if they have blocked RCGroups site.   Chris   Edited By Chris E on 31/12/2010 16:14:29

Biggles Elder Brother, I realize that this is a bit of a cheek but as I cannot get to rcgroups my options are limited.   Thanks everyone for your help so far.....   I am still not able to connect to RCGroups. I am running IE8. I have tried my wifes laptop which connects wirelessly to the same router as my desktop connects hard wired. Her computer won't connect to RCGroups either. I run AVG ant-virus & she runs AVAST.   I have run both CCCleaner & "Free Internet Eraser" which should clear all old files. My browser is set to never use cached pages. I do not have parental control, or anything similar, activated    It still does not work.    More thought very welcome

Nope!   The webpage "66.228.117.24" cannot be found DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken.   Chris

Now I am totally mystified. All my other surfing appears normal.   When I try to access RCGroups I get a page with the following message from either my favorites or the link above:   The webpage "www.rcgroups.com" cannot be found DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken.   HELP!!! Edited By Chris E on 31/12/2010 11:43:29 Edited By Chris E on 31/12/2010 11:46:05

I have lurked on a number of forums for years. I like this one for UK content but have always found the RCGroups forums a wonderful source of info. For several weeks they have simply disappeared but I cannot find any reference to this on the internet. I would have expected a lot of comment.   Does anybody know where RCGroups & the associated EZoneMag have gone, or what has happened to them or am I alone in not being able to access them? If I am alone suggestions as to why would be much appreciated.   Chris 

I understand that the DX6i is to be packaged with the 6100e receiver etc as the "microlight" pack. http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/aeroonline/e6spektrum/e6radio/e6radiofs.html   Does anybody know the price relative to the existing DX6i pack & when it is available?  I ask because I am looking to purchase at Wings & Wheels in a 10 days time.

Any more thoughts after 4 weeks happy (???) use?   Chris
