Original Message
"Message Board success!!"

Posted by andor on 08-10-01 at 17:32z
Have finally managed to get the Message Board updated messages. Perhaps my (fumbling) solution might help some other hapless soul. :-)
1.. I normally connected simply by clicking on the site listed in my Favourites. For some reason this failed (last Message dated July, my own postings not appearing at all)
2.. I connected using IE and my ISP home page and entered http://flightadventures.com/.(as I did originally).
3..In the VPC clk on Message Board and BINGO!!! Up came the beautiful last message "Roberts Cross Sim" Fl. plans.
4..Went back to My Favourites and everything OK.
Hope it might help,
Regards Andyc

Ah, OK I see what happened. It may not be obvious, but each message you see on the message board is it's own web page. If you make bookmark in Favorites on a particular page, you'll just see that page again when you call it up.

If you want to make a Message Board Favorites shortcut, only do so at the main page without logging in first. Otherwise, you'll just view the same page you've bookmarked the next time you try to visit.

Glad you figured it out.

Well, there's something to be said about visiting the main VPC page often. We're changing quite a few things around and unless you grab the new links, you may end up lost. This will be especially true in the upcoming weeks when we make the switch over--many of your old shortcuts will no longer work.
