Went to the homeworkshop site and found for the first time ever, that I needed to log in. There was also a very weird message on display.

Seems like a disturbing message, hope everything is OK.

Home Workshop

Sorry they didn't gentlemen I have shut the site down as they have now given up hoping to get any help. By the time you read this I will most likely be gone sorry Dad I failed I'm coming to join you.

I can only assume that there was at least one previous message which would give background to this announcement:

.

I too find the message, in isolation, disturbing …

Could it be the site has been hacked? Hopefully no more than that and not as the disturbing message may imply.

If you are using contacts on a favourite list that is a few years old you might find it easier if you delete the site address from the list and reload the site from the web and rejoin the site, something to do with chrome issues.

Just for clarity:


I emboldened the word Now to indicate a time [14:23:54] at which it worked for me.

Not only is it working for me, there is an ad for a Centec Mk3 vertical head assembly with Int30 taper. These make unicorn droppings look commonplace, never mind rocking horse
