Hi folks,

I've noticed that the other forum (www2.mgcars.org.uk) has been dark for about a week. Has anyone heard anything? Major league hack? Another sad byproduct of Brexit? Does Lucas make computers?

It seems they dropped the old british-cars.co.uk address and now just use http://www.mg-cars.org.uk/ as the primary one. I was panicked there for a couple days also! One of the oldest sites with a huge archive of info, especially in the MGB and TD/TF sections. An email to the membership would have been a good idea me thinks.

Since they did this, my HP laptop with W-10 in it will not log into the site, it keeps telling me I've been banned from the site and to reregister, when I did it sends back two log in details that don't work! The site comes up perfectly on my other two computers. Something is wrong, but I haven't a clue what. PJ

Paul,

Try a different browser, install Firefox and give that a go.

W10 uses Edge as a browser and it is not compatible with much.

Or, dig around and locate Internet Explorer, it is there, just hidden.

Thanks for the leads, everyone. As a former web developer, I always find it interesting when sites do not have the courtesy to post a "follow this link" page when major changes are made. I have followed the link provided and updated the bookmarks.

Paul, I would suggest you use either Google Chrome or Opera as your browser of choice. Both are free. Chrome is very quick and I have yet to find an incompatibility with it. Opera has some interesting features, especially in regards to private browsing.

Edge is an issue at the best of times.

I work in IT support and we have different browsers for different folks on different days, our accounting program uses IE9, nice and secure.....
