IDNet not loading correctly

Broadback · Jun 14, 2009, 14:22:39

Anyone else having a problem? When I load http://www.idnet.co.uk/ I get the coding for IDNet not the usual display as this sample:

#RedirectPermanent /broadband/cop.jsp http://www.idnet.net/cop.jsp
#RedirectPermanent /mobis http://www.idnet.net/mobisxtnd
#RedirectPermanent /clients/paperplanes http://www4.idnet.net/clients/paperplanes
#RedirectPermanent /archive/aio-uk http://www4.idnet.net/archive/aio-uk
#RedirectPermanent /archive/qxl http://www4.idnet.net/archive/qxl

all other sites are fine, so any ideas please?

Simon · Jun 14, 2009, 14:29:23

There was a slight problem yesterday, so perhaps they're working on the site?

.net is not loading correctly either

That looks very much like the contents of .htaccess!

Despite several attempts I've not been able to login to my Idnet account since Friday. I'm sure that I'm entering my correct username and password but it comes up with login failed. I've tried selecting the option to retrieve my username and password just to check by e-mailing it to me but I don't receive any e-mails either. I have also had problems with calling up the logon screen too.

I'll try again on Monday and if I still have a problem I'll call support.

Simon · Jun 14, 2009, 21:04:10

It's working for me, and I can log in, but it doesn't look quite right, still. I'm seeing a light blue banner at the top, which I don't think was there before.

Broadback · Jun 15, 2009, 08:58:54

Working fine for me now, this lovely sunny Monday (I have retired, so no more black Mondays for me!

)

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 09:06:49

Welcome to the club.

Broadback · Jun 15, 2009, 09:21:35

I've been in the club for a few years now. I find that people who have retired seem to fall into 1 of 2 distinct groups. Those (like myself) who love it, and wonder where they found time to work, and those that hate it and don't know what to do with themselves. I was out in a nearby town, a few weeks back, and bumped into a chap who was one of my bosses. He was gutted by being forced into retirement, said he awoke every morning and lay there thinking what was the point in his life now. His wife (understandably) was not a happy bunny either. So sad!

Broadback · Jun 15, 2009, 09:22:59

Whoops sorry Simon just realised that I have gone off topic!

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 09:24:03

I've never understood people who can't fill their time, BB, there's so much I do and want to do that a job would just get in the way. It was the same when I was a kid, I was never bored in school holidays, they just weren't long enough.

Nor me, Rik, I always found when I was working the job was always getting in the way of my hobbies and pastimes

I nearly snatched their hand off when I got the chance to take early retirement from the NHS. I don't know now how I found time to go to work.

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 09:32:59

Me too, Ray. I was out the door as fast as I could go, and Sue did the same. I thoroughly enjoyed my work, but I worked to live, not lived to work.

john · Jun 15, 2009, 13:17:24

I've got just over 3 years to go before retirement but I might consider coming back on a part time basis depending on how extensive the list of jobs is that SWMBO is contemplating for me

exactly Rik. You're only the second person I can recall saying that. I say it myself to plenty people, some just shrug others dont see it.Theres more to life than just working, my view any way.

Those who dont seem to be able to switch off need to be careful I think

My philosophy as well, Baz, I always worked to live and not lived to work, I've seen too many people going down the latter route and ending up with poor health or not even making it to retirement.

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 15:27:59

Or those that retired and died within months, Ray.

True, Rik, I've known a few of those as well.

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 16:00:30

I recall clearly that, when I left the security of employment to become self-employed, I was concious of going from Rik Bean, Publicity Officer, to Rik Bean, I'll take on anything if the pay is right. I felt very naked for a few months. Sue had a similar sense of bereavement when she packed up, but that quickly passed and neither of us would consider going back to employment except in financial extremis now.

JohnH · Jun 15, 2009, 17:28:32

I can't wait for retirement. I've got so much lined up to do, I don't know where I am going to find the time for it all.

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 17:30:35

Give it a few weeks and you will not believe you ever had the time to go to work.

JohnH · Jun 15, 2009, 17:41:42

I look forward to that day. I hate my work with a vengeance.

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 17:57:42

I don't. This is my work now.

Simon · Jun 15, 2009, 19:36:02

Well, now you're Rik Bean, Forum Administrator. How much better do you want?

Rik · Jun 15, 2009, 19:42:01

Rik Bean, Godfather?

Simon · Jun 15, 2009, 19:50:46

OK, I'll just be God, then.

Lance · Jun 15, 2009, 22:46:52

I'm looking forward to retirement too, but unfortunately its some way off yet!

Simon · Jun 15, 2009, 23:25:54

That's what Rik thought!

Broadback · Jun 16, 2009, 08:16:02

I took redundancy from a computer firm at the ripe old age of 58. The money was enough to live on until I was 60 and able to get my full company (final salary, those were the days) pension, also to add some money to the pension fund. When I first started in computers it was a high profile highly technical job, which I enjoyed, by the time I had finished it was quite the opposite, vertualy all I did was swop chunks of equipment, and dealt with young bottom of the heap peeps, where as before it was financial directors and their ilk. When I started the general opinion was that computers would get rid of the bottom jobs, not true they got rid of the middle. Where have all the pay accounts and draughtsmen gone?

Yup, Lance has only another 8 years to go.
