Wish List links problem

Mike,
Clicking on the Ref 395 Calendar link in your Calendar Calculator (14184) post produces this error:

(The same happens with the wish list ref in your recent post in Illegitimate Child - 'Unknown' spouse of mother. (14185))

Works OK for me in Firefox.
Is it browser related?
Or is it my privileged access?
May have to wait for Jane to sort it out.
There were problems accessing the Wish List when new Forum style was introduced recently.

I use Firefox too, and still get the same error.
Oddly though, I have just tried it with Internet Explorer and it works fine!

Just to say I am still getting the same error message with any attempt to access the Wish List using Firefox 47.0.1.
However I can access it OK using Internet Explorer so I am not too bothered. Just seems odd.

My Firefox is V48.0.2 so maybe an update is needed.

OK, it looks as if there is a glitch with our PC because it is saying that 47.0.1 is up to date! Will have to investigate.....

Have you visited https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/ to check and download update.

Also I have Avast free anti-virus that tells me when Firefox needs updating.

I have now manually updated to Firefox 48.0.2, but still get the error message when trying to access the Wish List.
However as no-one else has reported this problem and I can use a different browser if I need to this is not a major issue.

(I found a Mozilla support forum where a few other people reported finding that Firefox 47.0.1 says it is up-to-date and doesn't give an option to update. One reply suggested that the updates to 48.0.2 "were turned off again due to some crash issues"!)

If you go to
http://www.fhug.org.uk/wishlist/wllist. ... derseq=ASC

do you get the error? I am pretty sure it's a caching problem as suggested by Helen, so going to a different URL might fix it.

Hi Lorna, I think I found it, I suspect your computer does not clean up cookies and your firefox still has one set from before I moved to the PHPBB board from WebApp, I have commented out the code which processed the old logins so hopefully it will find your new one now.
