Hi Peter, I think you'll find that will fix itself when you clear your browser's cache. The logo is now displaying correctly.

Hi Joe
I tried to send a query via the "contact us" link on the bottom of the page but I get this response after about 10 seconds.

 

[Joe Blow]

Hi Boggo, thanks for the heads up. I'm out and about at the moment but I'll look into it as soon as I get back in.

In the meantime feel free to send me a PM if you have a query.

Hi Joe.
I was just going to ask if there was a thread for WGX as I could only find references to the stock in other threads.

There was a Westgold Resources thread dating back to 2007 when it had the ASX code WGR. But WGR delisted in 2012 when Metals X Limited (MLX) acquired all of the company's shares.

Then, in December 2016, it looks like Westgold Resources had life breathed back into it when Metals X demerged its gold assets, with Westgold relisting with the ASX code WGX.

If you're happy to continue with the old Westgold Resources thread I will simply edit the thread title and change the ASX code. Otherwise, I can create a new thread if you prefer.

Go with that Joe. I will post a few charts in there.

Hi Joe,

Just recently over the last few days when I copy and post from an article, sometimes the sentences under the heading become bold and a bigger font size as the heading. This is slightly annoying but most times I just need to highlight the sentences and press bold to cancel and then reduce the font size. Recently in the last few days I cannot get it to go out of bold no matter how many times I try. The same thing happened the other day. I had italicized a few sentences and then when I wanted to return to normal type face it wouldn't leave italics. I tried running the page done trying to keep beyond the 'inclusion zone'. Didn't work. I tried opening another window and typed in in normal type what I wanted to say and copy and pasted back to the original thread...immediately it became italics again. It is making things slightly distorted in meaning.

Good Morning Ann.

I'm not sure what is causing your issue with being unable to remove bold and italicised fonts.

I don't like to inherit formatting when cutting and pasting content so I generally paste content into an empty text document first which removes all formatting (as well as links) and then I cut or copy it again and paste it into the post reply box. Generally this leaves the paragraphs intact but removes all other text formatting such as different sized fonts and bold and italicised fonts.

I'm not sure if you're using Windows but if you are opening a new text document is as easy as right clicking on the Desktop and then selecting "New" and then "Text Document" from the menu that appears.

Doing it that way is a lot easier and less time consuming than adjusting content that has inherited font sizes and other annoying formatting that you don't want to keep.

I hope that helps.

@Joe Blow I'm getting a number of long pauses when accessing ASF. Sometimes it hangs for 30 seconds at a time, then the slowness goes away for a while. But I experience several long pauses within a day. I'm presuming that it's not my end, since while I'm waiting for ASF to respond, I can use other websites on other tabs with no slowness at all.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is experiencing ASF website slowness. For me it's been on and off for a couple of weeks I'd guess.

Hi guys, I read @Zaxon's post and decided to go and make a few tweaks to try and improve performance. As usual I had a fat finger moment and got an error that brought ASF down.

Anyway, we're back online now and I've tried a few things to try and improve site performance.

Please let me know if you notice any improvements or if there are still delays when trying to load pages.

Thanks!

lol. I wondered if you'd rebooted the server or something along those lines.

Thanks. Will do.

I did. I rebooted the server. I restarted Apache too. But that didn't fix the problem. So I contacted support who told me that I'd messed up a configuration file. Oooops!

Thanks. Will do.

Thanks.
