If anyone would like to attend I can put them in contact with his son. The citation for Bob’s honorary life membership of BCRA, f...

BCRA Membership Renewal BCA (and therefore BCRA) Membership Renewal letters were posted a few days ago. You can renew online or by cheque. If you renew promptly, it save a lot of administrative hassle. If your renewal letter has got lost in the post, go to http://caves.org.uk/payments/bca/forms/M1....

A reminder... Those of you who subscribe to my BCA Forum Scanner will know that its notifications are not always "useful". This is because there is only a limited amount of information that can be gleaned by the "data mining" of public web pages (which is how it works). The Scann...

OK.... I have a workaround. not bad, considering that know nothing about https and certificates. Instead of using the URL webmail.<my-website>.com, access is possible at http://britiac3.miniserver.com/webmail Im sure that will tell you straight away what the problem is, Cookie!

Cookie - I have emailed you a couple of user accounts and passwords for you to try...

Ah yes, Id completely forgotten about that. If you use this method, do not a) forget that you have made the setting, or b) forget that you didnt also make it on the laptop youre currently using - Past experiences !!!
