Season › 2023-24 › General Forum Site problems thread By Lyndon Lloyd 28/05/2024 Share: Now that Dave Abrahams' issues seem to have been resolved, I'm changing this to a general thread where people can throw in any problems they're having on the site. I'm sure I'll be aware of many of them (the text-size setting not sticking is one) but it's always good to periodically open up a page where people can raise issues. For site slowness and cacheing/cookie errors, there's a Help page here that offers some solutions. Cheers, folks! Hi Dave, I gather you’re using a Samsung phone to use ToffeeWeb? If so, could you look to see if whatever browser you use is the most up-to-date version? I have an old Samsung unit that I used to test out the issues you and a couple of others were reporting and the problem went away when I updated the Internet app on the phone. The other thing you could try is deleting all the cookies associated with ToffeeWeb on your device. If you need assistance with that, let me know.

Disclaimer () Dave Abrahams 1 Posted 28/05/2024 at 16:13:45 Thanks very much, Lyndon, I am absolutely useless in technology even to the most simplest parts of it. Tony's sons, even Joseph aged 10 know I'm from the Middle Ages when it comes to my iPad. Anyway, to cut a long story short, your information has done the trick. It was Latin to me but Sonny, my oldest grandson, got the iPad back to normal in two minutes. So thanks again, Lyndon. I was like someone in a room all talking but no-one saw me or listened to me the last few weeks so I missed ToffeeWeb and not being able to put my points of view across really frustrated me. Danny O’Neill 2 Posted 28/05/2024 at 16:21:31 Switching browsers can make a difference.I was using Safari for a while but that got very slow, so I switched to Google Chrome. Then that ended up being slow and clunky!As Lyndon says, it's best to clear history regularly. PC / Mobile device hygiene. Rob Halligan 3 Posted 28/05/2024 at 16:30:28 Like you, Danny, I was using Safari which was mega slow, to the point where certain threads just wouldn't open. I then switched to Google Chrome which seems okay. When using Safari, threads like Premier League game week # just wouldn't open at all. Anyone any opinions as to why this happened? Jerome Shields 4 Posted 29/05/2024 at 08:21:10 Thanks Lyndon was having problems, will do what you suggest. Danny O’Neill 5 Posted 29/05/2024 at 08:27:44 In addition to what Lyndon advised, make sure you update the operating system of the browser you are using. Mick O'Malley 6 Posted 29/05/2024 at 13:01:44 Dave @1, same here, I haven't got a clue what a cookie is and I still prefer to read newspapers than browse online. I've been having trouble posting, but the information Lyndon has given might as well be written in Greek as I haven't got a clue what any of it means, I'll have to get one of my daughters to sort it it for me. I'd sooner use pen and paper than send emails. The only time I look online is to browse ToffeeWeb and anything Sport related, I don't do Social Media at all. Dave Abrahams 7 Posted 29/05/2024 at 14:02:50 Mick (6), Yes, I'm in the same boat as yourself, it's all a foreign country to me.I used to love reading the papers, especially the Echo, but stopped that a few years ago. the only useful part now is the death column so you can pay your respects to departed friends. I can beat you on knowing about cookies — you can buy them in Subway, very nice with a cup of tea! Rob Halligan 8 Posted 29/05/2024 at 16:48:29 Question for you, Dave… Why does a PC, mobile phone or iPad etc, need cookies? 🤔🤔🤔 Gerry Quinn 9 Posted 29/05/2024 at 17:10:19 Rob - 'cos it likes sweet treats! Rob Halligan 10 Posted 29/05/2024 at 17:57:19 Gerry, I haven't got a clue. Like Dave and Mick, I don't know what cookies are for (Apart from eating). Paul Birmingham 11 Posted 29/05/2024 at 18:02:07 Also on iPads of a vintage, the iOS, will not be compatible and so the cycle of buying a new iPad starts again.The last iPad I bought approximately 10 years ago is now getting ready to be retired. It's too slow now.Hopefully some very positive news on an everton take over soon. In a couple of days, the ill-fated and doomed 777 deal expires... Good news in some quarters but this raises big questions about the capex and opex needed to keep Everton FC and the Everton Stadium alive.

Get the kids to do it. Danny O’Neill 14 Posted 29/05/2024 at 21:02:29 Just out of interest rather than spite, today is 39 years since 39 supporters lost their lives at Heysel.A bad day for football.I see Liverpool representatives placed a wreath by the plaque at Anfield. David Currie 15 Posted 29/05/2024 at 21:36:41 No mention in any of the papers that I read today regarding Heysel!The media love that club as they employ lots of them. The last time I read anything about Heysel, they didn't mention the club that caused it in the article. Dave Abrahams 16 Posted 30/05/2024 at 10:24:54 David (15), That's because it wasn't Liverpool fans that caused the tragedy, according to them — even though plenty of them were found guilty at the time! David Currie 17 Posted 30/05/2024 at 21:14:24 Dave 16, Exactly, Should have been an article in the papers with the headline ' 39 years since LFC brought shame to English football and got all English clubs banned from Europe for 5 years!!Still bitter after all these years and always will be!! Danny O’Neill 18 Posted 30/05/2024 at 21:20:41 Hardly a mention. 39 years since 39 supporters lost their lives at a football match as a result of an assault and charge. Andy Finigan 19 Posted 30/05/2024 at 21:47:52 I still feel very bitter just as I do to the Premier farce. Respect to the 39 Rip.
