Basil Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 When I try to log in from say a reference to a subject on our site, as listed on the net, I get this 'The requested page "/forums/postings.asp?th=51722" could not be found' . I used to access the site using this method before the change over without any problems. How can I overcome this problem please. I also get this message when I log in normally, for reason I fail to understand.Thanks in advance Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 If you mean a Google search is turning up that link, it's probably taking you to the old forum pages and all those links are now redundant. Try using the search facility on this site by entering a key term which should throw up the old threads. In respect of logging in to the site, you probably need to change your bookmark in your browser. I use https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/index.php?/discover/33/ which takes me straight to the 'Latest Posts' page. Hope this helps!

Basil Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 I have been trying to get info about fitting snakes, but cant tun up what I wanted. If the old references are on the net why cant we see them. Will we ever see them again, if not why are the refs still on the net. The net was most times the best source/method of finding what you want on this website, especially now. Maybe its me but I have not had much success in finding what I want. Yes plenty of entries that say 'Snakes' but only in passing. For instance how would you search for the subject of snakes rather than the word snakes, and where. By the way have we found the entries of the derivations of Little cub, fielded in different ways such as Lill, Li'l. there were several before the change over but until recently I could only turn up one. This post is not meant as a moan or critisism( I've been involved with such software changes in indusdry, so have experienced some big boobies).

Pete B Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I've just searched 'snake' and it gives me 3 pages of results: https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/index.php?/search/&q=snake&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=102 It shouldn't take too long to browse through and see if you can identify the thread you were looking for, I'd have thought?

Gary Manuel Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) @Basil If you put "snake*" into the search box (found at the top of the page in the black band), it will find all occurrences of "snake" and "snakes". If you just want to search the thread title, rather than the entire thread contents, tick the "Content Titles Only" box as I've done here.

kc Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) I am cursing these IT people who have lost all the hard work forum members have put in over the years.........I had a photo which answers Basil's snake problem but it was ( is still? ) in my forum album and that's now disappeared. How can we get these photos back?

kc Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 thanks for your prompt and useful reply John. Is there any easy way to get all my photos back in one go and put them onto my computer? You probably noticed I often use the same old photo to answer a question as the same question crops up time and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I don't know K.C but I will ask the other mods if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The quickest way is to drag and drop them from your gallery into a folder in pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
