  1. Invariably software updates will often result in exchanging one software bug for another, unfortunately that is the nature of software development - but crucially they also iron out known vulnerabilities during software updates.
  2. This is an older version of Chrome, nearly 2 years old. Definitely worth updating it as David suggests.
  3. Your browser does not trust the certificate for this site or more specifically the certificate authority. However, there is a valid certificate installed which should be suitable for our requirements. It looks like you're using Chrome? Is it possible to confirm and also the version? Does the same issue occur if you try another browser? Determining Chrome version on Android Open the Chrome App. Navigate to the 3-dots in the upper-right corner. Choose Settings and scroll down to the About Chrome section. The current version of Chrome will display at the top (See Figure 3). Figure 3 (Android): Also and as an aside; I am not sure I'd recommend using Incognito mode when browsing CWDF. CWDF needs to make use of browser cookies to work properly. Incognito mode can interfere with this but I'm not suggesting that's the issue in this case.
  4. With due respect we need to know only about problems that are still occurring and ideally, any screenshots or specific error messages so that we can troubleshoot any issues should they arise.
  5. Thank you for the feedback. The admin in question raises a good point though. Many if not most manufacturers stop maintaining software/firmware for older devices at a certain point, typically within 5 years. At which point they may be vulnerable to security exploits. This can (and does) lead to people / businesses having their devices compromised leading to fraud and identity theft among other things. When not volunteering my time on CWDF, I get paid to deal with the consequences of that in my day job. I'd always recommend keeping all devices up to date especially those that connect to the internet.
  6. What type of boat are you looking for? I recommend visiting a boat brokerage who will have many boats available for sale. There are many like Whilton Marina who will let you have a tour of the boats available and this will hopefully give you a better idea as to what's available within your budget. Also, sites like Apollo Duck (arguably equivalent to the auto trader of boats) will also give you a good feel for what's available. https://narrowboats.apolloduck.co.uk/ Also do research on what kind of layout you would like, reverse layout narrowboats are increasingly popular but may not be for everyone for example. Then you have a choice of sterns to choose from, e.g. traditional, semi-traditional and "cruiser". A lot of it is horses for courses but definitely research on this if you have not already.
  7. It has come to light that Hotmail has blocked emails originating from the hosting provider we use to host Canal World. There appears to be recurrent issues in this regard. With this in mind and for anyone currently using Hotmail, we recommend updating your email address on file to a different address. (non Hotmail) I must stress this is a suggestion only and that there is no requirement to do this. However, users using Hotmail addresses may not always receive emails from Canal World. To update your email address on file with us, please click the link below: https://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/settings/email/ Other email providers (such as Gmail) have no issues receiving emails from us.

  8. We have updated the forum software to the latest version of Invision to apply various software bug & security fixes. This is not a major update although some minor differences may be noticed. However, the overall look, feel and functionality of the site remains unchanged. Should you encounter any oddities, please first clear your browser cache and if the issue remains, do let us know.
  9. I have made some further changes. Please let me know if anyone comes across this again in any new notifications emails.
  10. It is back up but nothing obvious in the logs as to what it's not happy about which doesn't help me prevent it happening again... I have allocated more memory to ElasticSearch and will rebuild the search index and will go from there.
  11. Should be working now. Not sure what caused it to go down, will take another look later.
  12. Yes, but trouble is we don't host those sub-domains. They're hosted by SendGrid who we use for mail relay. The URLs are re-written before re-directing traffic to CWDF. We don't really need them re-written so this feature should now be disabled, but clearly the issue remains. I will look into it further. I will look into the DKIM DNS issue also
  13. I have made a change which may have fixed this issue but will need to wait for next notification emails. Please let me know. It is hard to troubleshoot as I still can't reproduce the issue though aware it exists for some users.
  14. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
