to everyone, having been away from the group for what seems like weeks & weeks & weeks - well it has been weeks ;)
mostly due to illness - had awful virus that left me wondering what on earth had hit me but now well on way to full recovery - thank goodness.
also had computer probs and still have some - big problems with my emails which are provided by Mozilla Thunderbird- not been able to send or receive any since end of last week! (not quite true - have had one filter thru and been able to reply to it - that also seems strange!)
keep getting a message saying 'password did not succeed - 'invalid login/password pair' - how can that be tho - I use that same password to 'sign into' my MSN group, which I can still do most of the time but do get 'cut off' by something called '503 Service Unavailable'.....so am really puzzled!
will take me ages to catch up on all the topics but it's lovely to be back in here looking around and feeling part of things again :)
having lovely warm days this way at present
H.P.
Glad you're getting better, HP. Now you need to find a cure for the PC. Oh wouldn't it be great to get back to carrier pigeons and quill pens!!!!
Hi HP...
;D
Ah! Welcome back, Hot-Pot. Fed-up of chicken soup yet?
Go G-mail.....zero prob's and no spam build up.
Looking forward to seeing you joining the photo comp's too.
All the best, Ken.
Glad you're feeling better H_P.
Hi HP, glad you feel better........now its just the techy bits. Good luck ;)

503 errors mean the server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or more commonly maintenance of the server when the maintenace work is completed or the amount of traffic on the server is reduced you will be able to access it again.
To sort out the email problem I suggest you look at the thunderbird forums http://forums.mozillazine.org/ as there are lots of possible causes.
hi hot potato glad you are up and about once more :)
Hi Hp good to see you back and feeling better, all the best and happy reading. ;D ;D ;D
thanks everyone for kind remarks and helpful comments on probs. with computer!.....will try to find out a bit more.
re the 503 problem - are you saying that it will sort itself out then Baccy Man once they've carried out their maintenance?
Assumed I'd got to ring BT (my provider) to get the email prob. sorted but being a coward - keep putting it off!
the only good thing about the email problem is that I'm not getting masses & masses of junk on a daily basis anymore ???
strangely enough - just been over to my emails and altho I got the same message about login/password being invalid - it did in fact download 2 mails - one from BT asking if I want to renew my contract!! how ironical is that :o
Thanks Ken re gmail - might come back to you on that - just panic (as always) at thought of having to 'do' something different - does that mean I'll have to change my email addy?
Yes the 503 problems will sort itself out.
