I'm just wondering how all of you guys manage to get a personal response from Contact Us. I contact them all the time and all I ever get is the bog standard "we have noted your request....blah, blah,blah"

I'm in and using HDAS at the moment, the question is, how many search terms will I manage to put in to the database before I get a time out or ERROR screens? I reckon it will be fine until I start looking at results, then it will die on page 3 of the results and I will quit and use OVID instead.

Still at least I'm singing "Oh happy days" in my head.

Yes, it's the same with us here.  I was told the following yesterday by NHS Evidence Technical Support, having contacted "contact us":

"Unfortunately, as we have been unable to replicate the issue on our network, it has been difficult to isolate the cause of the timeouts. Our developers are in the process of testing a possible fix which we hope to deploy as soon as it has passed the testing process. We are working as hard as we can to get it resolved but like I say, it depends upon passing testing, being deployed and then waiting to see if it does actually improve the situation for users getting the problem."

Paul

It's a lovely late October evening, the birds are singing above the rumble of traffic: just right for a bit of EMBASE searching.

But HDAS has other ideas - I don't seem able to get beyond the log-in page.

Anyone else having problems? I keep getting tracking or server error pages. It was working OK an hour and a half ago.
