Getting onto the Site

Unread post by karenandbob »

The only way I can get onto this site is to look up P&O's site on facebook and then look for the podt with this address attached to it and click on that. I dont seem to be able to find it thro my search button. Am I doing something wrong please? How do I manage to et onto the site please?

Because it is a new site it will take a while for it to get into the search sites.

The easiest way to access the site is to "bookmark" it in your browser. When you are on the home page right click your mouse and there will be an option to "Bookmark this page", select that and then whenever you want to visit the site just select it from your bookmarks on the menu bar of your browser.

Is that the same as adding this site to your favourites, because that is how I enter?

Just had to do it the once. When on the index page click, 'add to favourites,' and voila!

Just off to try david's method though, as back up.

Bookmarks and favorites are just different terms for the same thing

If you enable the ' Favorites Bar ' you can then hit the ' Yellow Star ' + ' Add to Favorites ' to achieve that else hit the ' Yellow Star with a Green Arrow ' to provide a direct link on your display.

Is it just me, or has anyone else had problems logging in for the past half hour ?

I've had problem for several days ... it was as though the address had been changed, if not then that is how it seemed.

ps ... using Ie8 on XP.

Out of interest - have those of you who have been having problems been trying to access the site via the "old" site's redirection, because if you have then you cannot because it is not there any-more :wave:

Funny you should say that because I had been using the old log in until last night when it wouldn't let me access, I used the replacement one and it was fine and have been using that today but was getting problems about an hour or so ago the same as QB.

Don't ask me :? All I know is that I have a short cut on my Desk Top and it hasn't been working every time. I haven't changed anything.
