Forum access?

[buswarrior]

Seems to be some glitch somewhere...

My usual bookmarks won't connect me to the forum.

Others are having issues as well?

I had to come in via the front door, and have an annoying header in the way..?

happy coaching!

Business as usual for me.

I am not getting notifications.  But, we log in frequently enough  and hit the button to see unread posts

Mines fine. Did you try and restart? Also clear all cookies. There are some good antivirius and malware apps that work great and are free. You can check some at Cnet.com or other sites such as Google or Amazon app store. Check and read some of the ratings before selecting one.

I have noticed a difference for the last several days. I have always used the busconversions.com address to check the forum, and it worked quickly with fewer ads than the BCM front page at busconversionmagazine.com, which now seems to be the only way in. More ads and a narrower forum box, it is more annoying to access.

I figured it out.  busconversionmagazine.com/forum goes to the "original" format without the side ads.  The link on busconversionmagazine.com goes to busconversionmagazine.com/bcm-forum that is the new format with the ads on the side.  If you still have your browser tab open to the "original" format everything still works as usual.  That is why many are not seeing the "new" format.

I think this is going to drive away a number of the remaining members.  I understand the need for more revenue, but ads on the side like that are extra annoying.

I wasn't aware there was a new format.  So I tried accessing the forum from the Bus Conversions home page and my ad blocker gave me what I'm used to seeing with a blank strip down the right side.  I understand the need for ad revenue but if its that simple to avoid seeing them then I doubt it will drive many people away.

Bookmarking busconversionmagazine.com/forum is definitely the way to go to avoid those excessive ads, and extra scrolling. Gary needs to keep things afloat with ad revenue, but that other page is excessive.

Mine is the same I get 2 tiny ads at the top always then they go away when I open the page

[buswarrior]

I use this one:

https://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?action=unread

It wouldn't load at all, day of and day before, when I originally posted, some sort of server error message, I was out in the fringes using the phone hotspot, so thought it was on this end, but then read elsewhere that others were having concurrent troubles.

Seems there's a few ways to get in to the info?

In via the magazine homepage is not my favorite, huge bar on top taking up screen space.

Happy coaching!

Had to update my quik link to this one:

https://www.busconversionmagazine.com/forum/index.php

[chessie4905]

I use "click here for a quick start" on my phone that isn't bookmarked.

[bronson]

I havent been able to get in for a week or so. Had to post on grease monkey to get in. Someone posted a link and it worked. My previous bookmarks were no longer working

[lvmci]

Same here...

[buswarrior]

Some word from our host as to whatever cleaning up has been done sure would be HELPFUL...

The old way works on my phone, nothing like the old way will work on the laptop...

Gary, which addresses are supposed to work or don't anymore?

happy coaching!
