I find coming back to the main RfR page sorts it.

Or refresh the page. Check your list too. I found that on occasion it would add the Advisory despite showing the error Hooters

Got the empty red box too but intermittently.Refreshing or going to home doesnt cure it, had to write manual advisories by hand a couple of times. Find that when writing manual advisories it will sometimes put a red squiggly line under a random word (even though word is spelt correctly and is not rude etc), if that happens I know I will get the red box and it won't allow me to enter any manual advisories.

That usually doesn't work for me but if I go right out to the main page (where you put the mileage in) then it will work.

Yep, thanks fellas but all those are 'workaround' fixes. (Buzz words, don't you just hate 'em?)
I wanna know "What can I do to avoid" those pesky things cropping up in the first place.

Cheers, Hoots.

p.s. Oh, and the new 'feedback' format doesn't help as it takes too long. Maybe I should feed-that-back?

Oh yeah, you may have noticed my favourite at the moment is still 'retro keying' the contingency tests, instead of logging them as we did the fall back or ET tests

The second one is 'off'
