ray hoggart Posted 28 December , 2004 Share Posted 28 December , 2004 Hello Richard, Can't help with the information your require I'm afraid! How do you access the website at IWM? I can't get in to it no matter how I try! Any Clues? Regards, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brindlerp Posted 28 December , 2004 Author Share Posted 28 December , 2004 Hi Ray, since making the post I have tried access again and cannot get access either. A Userid/Password block has appeared that was not there a few days ago. Very strange we cannot access the site or are invited to register to use it! What is the site for if the public cannot access it? Attached translates to Everything for the Homeland Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaymen Posted 28 December , 2004 Share Posted 28 December , 2004 All I have been unable to access this part of the IWM site for a few days - as you say it asks for passwords - but no mention that you have to register. Any one out there know why - because when I've been on it in this past its a fascinating site Glyn Warwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
