In UK is anyone else having problems posting?

My Safari browser refuses to open the site. says security risk. Fine on Firefox, although only if I authorise it to open it as HTTP.

I had problems early this afternoon, I lost access to TMP, I restarted my laptop (after a full security scan, just in case) and it came back on.

The new server is under-powered. I am working on a work-around for now.

My Safari browser refuses to open the site. says security risk.

Use a different browser that doesn't imagine security risks where there are none. We don't process financial transactions, why would we need higher security? It's ridiculous.

The problem seems more with responding. Many a view, but very very few comments these days.

Do folk really feel they have nothing to contribute or is this just apathy?

Arriba, Erwache, for the love of God, contribute something people. Anything….to every topic!

@liam

Perhaps the posts nowadays aren't very appealing or engaging?

Most of the #action# is in ultra-modern – and there is an awful lot of #gate-keeping# going on over there.

Here in Napoleonics it appears to be mainly uniformology and diarama setting.

That is: Not too many questions eliciting posted answers

----

An alternative reason could be the plethora of publishing by Helion & Company – too much new reading and too much new information – stealing time from poor old TMP

I have been with TMP for years, and noticed less responses during the Spring/early Summer months.
Although I value comments, I do not demand them, but appreciate anyone who is willing to spend a few minutes doing them.

As for fewer posts, I can say for myself that I would be posting on here far more often if there was an easy way to post pictures. I think about it sometimes, then I remember the pain in the a** process required and say forget it.

I'm confused. What is the topic of this thread?

Martin Rapier17 Apr 2025 11:32 p.m. PST

I think it has got mixed up with posts from some comments on the making your own casualty markers thread. Some sort of bug.

Ive been on TMP for decades and it would never even occur to me to post battle reports or whatever here, that is what websites and blogs are for.

Thanks Chief Bill and all the other comments. Being a US site and me being in UK attempting to post early in the morning while the US is in bed. My post has now saved in the Empire forum.
Maybe the answer is to type the question in Word and suchlike and then copy and paste it into t5he forum.

Its a great resource.

Interesting to learn the reason behind posting difficulties and security warnings.

Security is very important to prevent mass scamming and malicious destruction of websites.

Bennoes figures forum had a massive problem and indeed has only just cleared up the mess created by some moronic scammer.

Wolfgang Meyers Gerschite in Miniturian site is also paralysed at the present.

Why these people get their jollies from inflicting misery on others is beyond me.

Happy Easter to all.

Best wishes,

Chris

Happy Easter to all,

Agree it would be far better if one could post pictures direct from one's own PC rather than having to upload elsewhere first or find an equivalent picture on the web! That is how TotalWarCenter operates and makes it a doddle.
