Well guys.....could just happen that a number of OZ members are current financial supporters of this wonderful forum ...

..Martin & the moderators know who is who

Possibly OZ members don't need their name in big lights.....

We are extremely grateful to ALL members who contribute to this Forum and we certainly do not differentiate between their addresses.

The situation is quite grim Gentlemen, so all assistance is appreciated.

Thank you

News that libraries are to save UK web content for posterity made me wonder what happens to all our input to this forum. Does it stay here for ever or does it slowly slip away over time? There is a lot of very useful stuff on here it would be a shame to lose it.

I try to do a full data backup at least once a week Jerry.
( a full site backup every fre months )

Maybe you should offer it to the Bodlean library? I've got stuff from them before now.
Jerry.

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #61 on:** April 05, 2013, 01:01:51 pm »

Could do Jerry, see what you can find out please?

Jerry C · « **Reply #62 on:** April 05, 2013, 01:45:55 pm »

Martin, I spoke to the Bodlean and they said they were only going to use the gathered info and that the British library, the National library of Scotland and the National library of Wales were going to actually store the data. So I spoke to the British library and customer services said they had only heard about it this morning and so asked me to email the question. This is what I asked.

Sirs, I saw this on the news today and as I am a contributor to modelboatmayhem which contains a wealth of (to us model makers) knowledge and ship information I wondered how information was to be gathered. It seems quite possible that all our stored wisdom could be lost by one catastrophic crash of the website or web. We have had several near misses in the recent past. Do you intend to collect everything or only data that is offered to you? I ask on behalf of the owner of the website and several of its contributors.
Sincerely,
Jerry Cartwright
Caernarfon.

Lets see what happens. All the best,
Jerry.

People like me frequently have their computer on all day and permanently logged in to several websites. This shows up as being online but doesn't mean I'm looking at the computer! I just check it from time to time.

grendel · « **Reply #65 on:** April 07, 2013, 08:02:52 pm »

same as Colin, my laptop is on all day with my current 8 favorite websites all open in tabs so t will register me as being online.

Me too, I'm logged in most of the time but not glued to the screen

RAAArtyGunner · « **Reply #67 on:** April 07, 2013, 09:28:05 pm »

That explains why the rest of us have problems logging in

Tug-Kenny RIP · « **Reply #68 on:** April 07, 2013, 10:19:21 pm »

At this moment in time there are 84 GUESTS and 37 MEMBERS.

Come on Guests. Join up and see the great pictures we have on display.

Cheers

Ken

Your problem with logging in is that you are upside down!

Colin

Reminds me of a story of my father repairing a TV. Put it all back together again,switched on and the picture was upside down, took it apart and reversed the coils, reassembled it. Still upside down

Tried again, and reversed the coils, reassembled it. This time it was OK.

He found out later that the Beeb had been broadcasting the picture upside down during a science lesson.

Bob K · « **Reply #71 on:** April 08, 2013, 12:15:22 am »

Right now Mayhem has 82 Guests and 22 registered Users. Hopefully a higher proportion of guests will register to see the full forum content.

I tend to have my computer on for much of the day, with tabs open for email news and Mayhem. I keep popping back to read new posts. As a result I have not had to re login in for ages, the cache remembers me. Although the header says I have been logged in for over 18 days, I haven't really. I do shut down at least twice a day.

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #72 on:** April 08, 2013, 11:20:17 am »

It's not entirely clear what '"guest" actually are, it seems they could be virtually anything... search hits, 'net robots', stats bots, word trawlers, data harvesters... anything.

Jerry C · « **Reply #73 on:** April 08, 2013, 11:52:04 am »

I'm logged in all the time but the time counter only counts when I'm actually using it. I use iPhone 99.9% of the time.

If you don't login you show up as a 'guest'

Must have been a lot logged in today

as had trouble logging in, even the right way up didn't help
