Organgrinder   1,946 #1 Posted December 8, 2021 Whatever's happened to the other Sheffield history site in the last 24 hours. It used to be a very good site until around a year ago when it started concentrating more on modern Sheffield. Looks as though it's folding up now and I can't find any way of getting into the discussion forums. Some very knowledgeable guys on there too.

Dreb48   35 #2 Posted December 8, 2021 Sheffield History is owned by the same guys who run Owlstalk the Wednesday fans  online forum. I thought they’d bought this site too but I could be wrong The History site has gone a bit wonky the last couple of days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest makapaka   #3 Posted December 8, 2021 I really like the site but think there are too many categories to post in  and engagements tail off quickly - could do with slimming it down a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dreb48   35 #4 Posted December 8, 2021 I agree. I think with most sites people will often just go to the main chat site. I’ve posted stuff in other categories on there and sometimes it’s months before anyones seen it The response time to anything is invariably incredibly slow. Ive never understood why people will post a question, get a response that requires an answer then not look again till a year later . That applies to any site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

me-and-pippo   12 #8 Posted December 9, 2021 To those experiencing problems. If your view of sheffieldhistory.co.uk page/site is displaying as an unformatted, html style, object list, on a white background, the site appears to be working ok for me in dark mode. To change the view to 'Dark Mode', scroll down towards the bottom of the page, on the left, look for: > Theme >LIGHT MODE (Default) >DARK MODE Click on DARK MODE.
