Done that. What did work was changing browser. It works in Chrome so the problem is with Firefox.
That's an odd one.
Worked fine for me as an exclusive Firefox user. That's super odd. Glad it's working now.

What's really odd is my Firefox has been overlayed by Bing. Have had my nephew remove it 3 times over the past couple of years and it keeps coming back. :crazy: :evil:

The Greenstone is to amps as Ali is to boxing... Marshalls are to amps as pro wrestlers are to sophisticated fine dining.

Speaking of... where did Greenstone 001 eventually end up? Slowy? BG? Grant?
I have an urge to own that amp one more time.
Sorry mate, I sold it outside. He was a working muso which is why I let it go.
He can't have been working much the last few years. Get in touch and find out if he still has it! :D
Jeez, it was 4-5 years ago....... will see what I can do.

They have shifty ways of tricking you into setting it back as your default browser.

Hey Rob, have you sorted out how we can chuck you some cashola for the day?
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Was anybody sharing lurgies at the gearfest? Since last night my nose is streaming like Spotify and my sneeze counter can't keep up...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

BG had an ear thing, but don't think anyone else sounded too rough.

Yeah I just have an ear infection, its not transmittable... I think it came from listening to that bloody Neil Young harmonica briefly :P
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I had a cold the previous week, but doubt I'd have been infectious by Sunday.

The cold I had is definitely doing the rounds though, it's wiped out a few people I know.
