Yes, it is in a bit of a mess now, I assume it is an un-bugged update. Apart from being very s-l-o-w, not many menus work, text grey on grey and ' coming out as ‘ it's ok.:o

We're doing our best to get to the bottom of the issues people are having at the moment, both in terms of speed and functionality.

Hi

Really sorry about the issues you're experiencing at the moment. As you can see, we launched the new RAC site last week, and still have a few bugs to iron out...

I can assure you we're working on all of them in order of priority and it should all be working as well as (if not better than) before within the next few days.

Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

Sorry to bump this one up, but:

I've just got a new, very fast, computer and whilst there's a vast improvement over my retired 9 year old pc, it still seems to take forever to manouevre around the forum.

Secondly, would someone please tell me how to put smileys into text? I'm awfully afraid that something that may be written (say) sarcastically, would be taken at face value and I'll upset someone unintentionally.

Thanks, FJ

We're aware of the speed issues and are working on it at the moment, sorry for the inconvenience. You should see the smilies on the right hand side of the reply box...

Try using this link to the site as this version does run a lot faster than the other one, as its more basic, good luck;)

Mike,

Appreciate as it's not a normal forum situation, you have issues, but regret - no smileys appear anywhere except as an icon option. I'm on Windows 7, but same applied to Windows XP with service pack 2 and 3.

I can see the smilies on both XP (in the office) and Windows 7 (at home). Is anyone else experiencing the same thing - perhaps send me a screenshot?

[ficklejade]

Located the smilies, Mike. Thanks.

[ficklejade]

And now they've gone again! EEK!

[smudger]

Must be your computer then ficklejade,?

AS I have Windows7 on my desk top, and Vista on this lap top, and my wife has XP on her note book, and I can see the smileys on all of them?

BTW, did you try that link I gave you to the quicker version?

[ficklejade]

Not so sure - done quick reply and still no smilies! Not a happy bunny!

[smudger]

Try clicking on the other Reply key, (not the quick reply one) and see if that helps;)

[wagolynn]

I will send on **e Post reply key and see what happens **en.:p

[wagolynn]

Still missing **, I suppose one of **e administrators will soon spot it and arrange a fix.;)

[Mike Gray]

:o This one was me. Fixed.

[smudger]

Did the site have a "lipth" then;)
