300,000 posts!

**Mojo** · 13th September 2009, 18:16

I'm pleased to say that we have just passed the milestone of 300,000 posts on the forums and would like to thank all of you who have provided valuable content, helped others with their fare enquiries and all other useful posts that have been made!

Incidentally, the past two weeks have been the most popular weeks on the forum in terms of new posts made since our records started back in August 2005 and membership has continued to grow. Additionally, we have had our highest number of hits since those records began over one and a half years ago! In August we also beat our previous record of most users online which was in place for well over a year!

And for some other statistics from the past month:

Busiest hour
22.00

Quietest hour
04.00

Popular browsers
Internet Explorer - 53.25%
Firefox - 33.1%
Safari - 5.55%
Chrome - 5.27%
Opera - 2.18%

Operating systems
Windows - 90.93%
Mac - 6.16%
Linux - 1.67%

MCR247 · 13th September 2009, 19:34

Do you know who made the 300,000 post?

**Mojo** · 13th September 2009, 19:41

Assuming my maths is correct, it was this one: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p=351539

A post that was, rather topically, referring to intercourse on a sleeper train IIRC

Nice. Well done all! And yes - I am in the absolute minority with OS, and the middle man with browser. I'm so happy!...

...a depressing indictment if any...

Maybe if Firefox actually worked without hassle and the need to be forever configuring and tweaking it when you are trying to browse ?

I tried three times and gave up in sheer frustration because everything I wanted to look at, Firefox was either not configured for it, or the security system would not let me see it.

For example it would not under any circumstances allow me to download the Live365 radio player, and bearing in mind that is a recognised and respected site that was the point at which Firefox was forever consigned to the bin.

**Mojo** · 13th September 2009, 21:25

Can't say I've ever had to change any settings or anything to get Firefox to work. Just been to Live365 now (never been there before) and picked a random station and it started playing!

Old Timer · 13th September 2009, 21:32

I ditched Firefox about 18 months/two years ago it was nothing but trouble, and you still have to run IE in order to visit some websites anyway even today.

monkey · 13th September 2009, 21:41

^^agree with mojo, never had that problem, or had to go back to ie in a long time...

Old Timer · 13th September 2009, 21:45

So you reckon it is solved then ??

SouthEastern-465 · 14th September 2009, 13:06

I had problems with FireFox and agree with oldtimer.

Anyway out 0f 300,000 posts 390 are mine!

CCF23 · 14th September 2009, 15:45

I use Netscape Navigator works fine for me and has been for about three years. Also I'm not surprised that the last two weeks have been busy as new members like Monkey who has made 300+ posts in two weeks

that has to be a forum record
