Make sure you've reopened your browser from cold.
Go to: http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/index.php?act=Login
Make sure the Remember me? [] checkbox is ticked before you hit the [Log me in] button.
If this doesn't work I will show you how to force a Windows form password save.

"Current retail price is £279.99"? We're comparing apples with oranges here!
£170 next bid (including postage) with 4 1/2 days to go. Would you buy second-hand gear from someone with zero feedback?
When you're talking about little boxes like this the power rating can be pretty well meaningless. Is it RMS? Is it Peak Music Power? Is it even honestly measured? More often than not it's a figment of a marketing guy's imagination. Efficiency is what matters, and for little boxes it can be horribly low.
The only way to choose (apart from noting your strained wallet) is to do an A-B comparison at home.

Just noticed tonight..everytime i go to read a post i`m asked to sign in again, even though i`ve already signed in!
Probably this computer, but any ideas as to why this is happening?
Could be several things. First clear your cookie cache.
Which browser are you using? For instructions on MSIE 7 see How Do I Get The Bedlington.co.uk Icon To Show In My Browser? and at steps 4/5 substitute the [Delete cookies..] button.

I think he could be getting out at an opportune time. The rise of the Linux/SSD based mini notebook is at hand. Won't be noticed by many people for maybe a year or so, but they will sell themselves, and not just on price! A very few years down the line lugging the things people now lug around will be so uncool! Prediction: The MFF notebook will become almost as ubiquitous as the cell-phone is today.
I'd expect MS is already aware of the threat and will be doing ultra low-cost OEM deals on XP to - a very few dollars - a try to stem the threat. XP is slated to die next January anyway. MS would have to pay me to run Windows on a flash based device!

You've probably got the the MS default one showing. So:
- Close all the tabs that show Bedlington.co.uk
- Click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options at the bottom
- Hit the [Delete...] button in the Browsing history section (no need to select a new tab here)
- In the resulting Delete Browsing History window:
- Temporary Internet Files -- [Delete files..] -- [Yes]
- History -- [Delete history...] -- [Yes]
- then:
- [Close] -- [Cancel] or [OK]
- Re-visit http://www.bedlington.co.uk/ and the icon should now show in the address bar, browser tab, any stored favourites, and any desktop shortcuts.
Note you must delete both Temporary Internet Files and History or MSIE 7 won't play ball. Make sure you don't delete your cookies, or your stored passwords, or do anything else drastic!
- Close all the tabs that show Bedlington.co.uk

Aye, you`ve got 2 new messages

Very observant, but it actually says -2 new messages. Which probably means that two people were going to message him, but changed their mind for some reason!

Actually it means that his message counter needs resetting, which should happen when someone bothers to send him one or two.

is it possible to block an email address it goes into spam just now but would sooner make sure it can't reach my pc at all
The pros say:

==========
If it's spam you want to prevent then that would be a waste of time. The overwhelming probability is that the e-mail header is forged and the stated e-mail address does not exist. What's more the spammers are most likely using someone else's domain name in the e-mail address, and it didn't come from that quite innocent source anyway! So it's quite pointless complaining there and taking measures against innocent parties.
The best way to handle spam is to be very aware that every time you quote your e-mail address somewhere it might be sold. Have a throw-away address with one of the webmail services for filling in forms on sites you don't trust, and only provide your regular e-mail address to people you implicitly trust. In particular never display it on websites or public boards; it will surely be spidered many many times. That's why we have a Personal Messaging (PM) system here.
If you are running a business, where spam costs money, then please PM me and I can help you further. Our company has several ways to help you form an anti-spam policy, and even to police your suppliers who are selling their mailing lists.

We're looking into the possibility of installing several Bedlington webcams on main road situations. If you have an elevated site near one of the Town's main roads and a nearby broadband connection you'd share then we will provide and set up the hardware free.
It's a long-term project so its only of interest if we can keep the connection live 24/7/365 for at least two years. The hardware contains it's own webserver so it doesn't require a computer to be on, or any computer at all. It does require to share a decent broadband connection though.
PM me if you'd like to help, and with any questions - Thanks.

It pleases me to see at least some inconsistancy to the relentless anti-immigrationism posted on this site. ...
There's nothing inconsistent about Merlin's position. The PC here confuse immigration with asylum, just like they get confused about many other pretty straightforward things.

Of course he shouldn't be kicked out, if only for the pragmatic reason that he's an asset to OUR country.
If you say here that a small island can't throw its doors open to billions of economic migrants somehow that gets twisted to being an 'ism. Well... if that's the case over 90% of the silent majority in our country must be 'ismist.
Those who have lived a little, have survived the PC indoctrination of lefties in our education system and media, and don't go around with their eyes shut, know differently. It's unfortunate that the extreme right in our country give this equally vocal minority of 'ismist branders a lot more credibility than they deserve.
Joe's position is commendable, but it's through the rose-coloured glasses of his youth, and it's from a vast country that is well insulated from what's currently going on globally. It's not about compromise with some silly girl that wants attention at school - don' t they all?! It's about a complete takeover of our culture, moral standards, and standards of fairness and reason by retards that will have no truck with any of your 'ismist crap.
If the PC get their way it will be too late for anyone! Paradoxically only the center right can save the PC elements in our country from the product of their own stupidity. And, like occasions in the past, you'd better bet that they will! Peace in our time was also a highly commendable lefty slogan until the cows came home.

I think the pub went up in flames too..once or twice infact. They should rename it to ''The Phoenix''

Yup, we know a song about all this - don't we children? Now what is the name of that Prodigy classic?

There's another, Dusty Springfield one, from the film 'Scandal', widely rumoured to have been Mr P's favourite movie.

Re your complaint about no one sending you validation e-mail(s) despite multiple tries at intervals. I'm afraid the problem is at your end and beyond our control. You probably need to check your spam filter.
Your membership has been manually approved so you can use the facilities without responding to a validation email. In particular you can now use the PM system to contact admins, moderators, and other members.
From long experience I'd suggest you try one of the free webmail services available on the Internet that is independent of BT. Change your e-mail address in your profile so that it points to the new e-mail service, so you can use the full facilities of Bedlington.co.uk.
If you need further help please phone the telephone number e-mailed to you. I will repeat that info in your PM mailbox here in case you didn't get that either.
Enjoy!

I can explain one thing..Terriers is closed because they`ve been running it without a license

Dear, dear, and such a well run place before the tragic, totally accidental, fire too! Does this mean they now have one, or are they collecting summonses?
As for the mirror question, the answer is ''No'' ...With your masters degrees in joke interpretation and theoretical computer science you're just toooo modest!
